Bentley v. Cadmus
Bentley v. Cadmus
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The grounds of appeal, as set forth in the appellant’s petition, are that the decree of the court of chancery is erroneous in three respects — -first, because it adjudged that the estate of which the appellant is executrix was liable for, and should be charged with, certain moneys specified in the decree, with interest thereon,
The state of the case provided by the ■ appellant contains nothing except the decree, which is appealed from, and the proceedings on appeal. Whether or not the decree is erroneous in the respects indicated in the petition of appeal must depend entirely upon the evidence which was produced at the hearing. That evidence the appellant has not seen fit to bring before us, and in its absence we cannot say that there is error in the decree in either of the particulars mentioned in the petition.
The decree appealed from should be affirmed, with costs to the respondents.
For affirmance — Depue, Van Syckel, Garrison, Lippincott, Gummere, Ludlow, Collins, Bogert, Krueger, Nixon, Hendrickson, Adams, Vredenburgh — 13.
For reversal — None.
