Syllabus

<p>1. Cross-examination. \Where a \witness is asked,'on cross-examination, about a matter not testified to by him on his direct examination, the question will be obnoxious to an objection as not being proper cross-examination.</p> <p>2. Chancery—sufficiency of evidence to support decree. Where there is sufficient evidence to justify the decree rendered, the decree will not be reversed on the ground the evidence is conflicting and contradictory, especially when the chancellor has heard the witnesses testify, so that he could judge from their appearance on the stand, and when the defendant’s evidence differs in theory from the defense made in the answer.</p>
