¶1concurring. I agree the chancellor should be affirmed but for different reasons. The appellants did not abstract any pleadings in this case except the complaint. There is no order or decree of the court and I cannot say whether, the chancellor was clearly wrong or not based on the abstract. His findings are indispensable to an appellate review. We have consistently enforced Rule 9 and I would affirm the decree on this basis rather than on the merits.
