Description
The facts in this controversy may be stated in one sentence: When the issues were formed, the plaintiff requested the chancellor to set the cause for trial but the chancellor, despite the objections of the plaintiff, appointed on his own motion a special master in chancery and directed the master to take the testimony and "report his findings of fact and conclusions of law * * * with his recommendations." From this procedure arises the question whether a chancellor has the power to refer a case to a master with instructions to hear the witnesses and make findings of fact based on the testimony, and to report his findings as well as his conclusions relative to the applicable law if a party-litigant objects.
