Syllabus

<p>Appeals — Supreme Court — Superior Court — Error of counsel — Misapprehension of facts.</p> <p>On an appeal from the judgment of the Superior Court, the question for the decision of the Supreme Court is whether the judgment of the Superior Court is correct on the record which was before it. If there has been a misapprehension of the facts, through the inadvertent error of counsel in presenting the case, the remedy is to be sought by an application to that court and not by an appeal to the Supreme Court.</p> <p>Taxation — Exemption—Charity—Portion of year.</p> <p>A defense to a scire facias on a tax lien, which alleges that after the liability for tax became fixed for the year the property was devoted to a use which exempted it from taxation, is not available.</p>
