1. “/‘All the questions raised by the appellant, with the. exception of the question in relation to the filing of the amended answer, are questions which depend upon the. evidence.

The plain contemplation of our statute as to appeals in equity is that the whole case as presented to the coúrt below should be brought here before the court gets jurisdiction to in any manner interfere with the decree rendered in. said court.””
