   SOMEBYILLE, J.

— The present case seems to have been submitted to the chancellor, and decided by him, upon the pleadmgs and proof , the proof consisting of a very large number of depositions. These depositions have all been omitted from the record, and in their absence we are bound to presume in favor of the correctness of the chancellor’s decree dismissing the bill. The presumption is, that the allegations of the appellant’s bill were not sustained by the proof; and the decree is accordingly affirmed.
