115 So. 193 | Miss. | 1928
We think there was ample evidence in the case to support the master's findings of fact. A master's findings of fact, when supported by the evidence, have the force and effect of the verdict of a jury on an issue of fact. Griffith's Chancery Practice, section 605; Hines v. Imperial Naval Stores Co.,
We think the master's report should be re-established, and appellant should have a decree of one thousand twenty-seven dollars and nineteen cents, one-half of the losses of the business, with six per cent. interest thereon from the dates appellant expended his individual funds in paying the liabilities of the partnership.
The record in the case is in such state that the calculations can be better made, and the proper decree entered, by the trial court, than by this court.
The decree of the chancellor is therefore reversed, and the cause remanded.
Reversed and remanded.
