Syllabus
<p>New trial—rehearing in chancery, on the evidence. The evidence in a suit in chancery was so irreconcilably conflicting that it could not be determined, with any degree of confidence, where the weight of the testimony was. The evidence on the principal issue was'heard on oral examination in open court, and giving proper weight to that circumstance, as enabling the chancellor to better judge of the weight which should be given to the testimony of the witnesses, it was considered the decree ought not to be disturbed.</p>
