Syllabus

<p>Chanoeby—evidence in support of decree—must be preserved in the record. Where the evidence in a suit in chancery is not contained in depositions, and there is no report of the master embodying the evidence taken and heard, filed in the case, it is incumbent on the party seeking to sustain the decree, to preserve the evidence in the record, either by recital in the decree or by a certificate of evidence. If the evidence is not thus preserved, the decree must be reversed.</p>
