Syllabus

<p>Practice, equity — Appeals—Gourt interprets its own decree.</p> <p>The refusal of the court below to issue an attachment for contempt in a matter of alleged disobedience to its decree, is tantamount to a declaration that no such disobedience exists. The court below is the interpreter of its own decree, and from its action in determining what is or is not included in its decree no appeal lies.</p> <p>Equity rides — Testimony taken to advise court.</p> <p>The equity rules of the Supreme Court do not apply to examinations on motions for attachment for contempt where the court below takes testimony solely for the purpose of enabling it to determine whether or not its decree has been obeyed.</p>
