PRACTICE IN THE COURT OF ERRORS.

On an appeal from chancery.
A discovery of new and material evidence which could not before be obtained,

is a good ground to open a former judgment or decree.
So also a surprise, as to a matter of evidence, or question of fact, but not an

ignorance or pretended surprise, as to a question of law.
The same rules prevail in a court of equity as to bills of review, to re-examine

its own decrees.
The magnitude of the property in question, in case of doubt and difficulty, is

a ground of opening, a judgment or decree, but magnitude alone is not

enough.
An appeal from an interlocutory or final decre brings up all the antecedent

proceedings, which are of course open for decision here.
On an appeal from an interlocutory order or decree, this court may proceed

to a final decree, if all the merits appear before them.
In certain specific cases, it is the common course in chancery, to order an

issue to be tried at law, but in all cases it is in the sound discretion of that
court. If the case do not require the trial of an issue, the chancellor ought

to decide.
No costs or damages given in this court in case of a reversal against the party
to support the judgment or decree of the court below.
