““The suit was tried as one in equity before the court nisi. While this court has said that the whole record must come here for review in. equity cases so that we may weigh and decide the same de novo, nevertheless where an issue of fact rests on the credibility of the witnesses, this court will usually defer to the finding of the chancellor who has many opportunities, necessarily denied to us, of seeing and hearing the witnesses themselves, observing their demeanor while testifying, and of determining the weight which properly attaches to their testimony.
