Syllabus
<p>(l. Practice in Equity Causes: trial by jury. In chancery causes the right of trial by jury does not exist, although the chancellor may, in his discretion, submit certain issues to a jury, but he-will not be bound by their finding, and may accept or reject it, as he deems best.</p> <p>2. Practice in the Supreme Court: motion for new trial. The action of the trial court in admitting and rejecting evidence will not be reviewed by the Supreme Court unless called to the attention of the trial court in the motion for new trial.</p> <p>3. --: finding of chancellor. The finding of the chancellor in equity causes will be deferred to by the Supreme Court, unless he has manifestly disregarded the evidence.</p> <p>4. --: JUDGMENT FOR COSTS AGAINST MARRIED WOMAN. A judgment or decree which is otherwise regular and proper will not be reversed because costs are decreed against a married woman with others, and the Supreme Court will, in such case, modify the judgment and exempt her from liability for costs and adjudge them against the proper parties.</p>
