Stevenson v. Gregory

Opinion of the Court

The Chancellor decided,

that a master’s report could hot

be excepted to merely because the master had omitted to report as to some matters which he was directed by the order of reference to report upon. The remedy of the party, in such a case, is to move that the report be referred back to the master; with instructions to him to correct the report, so as to make it embrace the whole matters of the reference.
