REFERENCE, § 41 — conclusiveness of master's findings. Where chancellor receives evidence in open court and sees witnesses and hears them testify, he has better opportunity for determining weight and credit that should be given their testimony than does court of review, and under such circumstances court of review will not disturb finding of chancellor unless manifestly and palpably wrong, and this is true even though court of review might be inclined to find otherwise had it been placed in position of trial court upon trial of case.
