““Under the law in this State a decree in equity is not final until approved by the chancellor and filed for record. His mere oral announcement of the decision and the grounds upon which it is based is not controlling. The whole matter is completely Under his control, and is subject to be altered, changed, or even disregarded’, until the written decree is approved and filed for record.””
