Dargis v. Lane

Decree affirmed. This is an appeal by a residuary legatee from a decree allowing the first and final account of the executor under the will of Emile S. Dargis. The grounds of objection are that the property distributed did not include all the estate of the testator, as two mortgage notes were omitted. There are no express findings of fact, and the evidence is reported. The report of the evidence shows that various documents were marked as exhibits. None of these is reproduced in the record, and there is no certificate of the judge, dispensing with such reproduction. Rule 1 (A) of the Rules for the Regulation of Practice before the Full Court (1926), as amended, February 1, 1943, 313 Mass. 787; now substantially repeated in Rule 6 (A) of the Rules for the Regulation of Practice before the Full Court (1952) 328 Mass. 696. This is not an appeal with report of all the evidence. Romanausky v. Skutulas, 258 Mass. 190, 194. Goshein v. Chavenson, 261 Mass. 403, 404. Yoffa v. National Shawmut Bank, 288 Mass. 422, 426.
