John Wallen v. Daniel Huff.
    CHANCERY PRACTICE. — Bill of Review*
    
    No bill of review lies in a Chancery Court nor in the Supreme Court to review a decision of the Supreme Court.
    A Bill of Review was filed in tlie Chancery Court at Tazewell to review a decision of the Supreme Court. The Chancellor dismissed the hill for want of jurisdiction and the complainant appealed to this Court.
   By the COURT:

No bill of review lies in a Chancery Court or in this Court to review a decision of this Court.

Decree affirmed. 
      
       A bill of review will not lie in the Supreme Court upon a decree rendered there. Cox and Catron v. Breedlove et al., 2 Yerg. 499. (Craighead & White, special JJ. Peck, J., dissenting). Wilson v. Wilson, 10 Yerg. 200. Nor will a rehearing of a cause in the Supreme Court be granted at a term subsequent to final decree, although the cause was retained in the Supreme Court for the purpose of taking an account.
