Fontaine v. Pickle

Supreme Court of Mississippi
Nov 22, 1971
254 So. 2d 769 (Miss. 1971)

Opinion

No. 46414.

November 22, 1971.

Appeal from the Chancery Court, Attala County, Robert Prisock, Chancellor.

Alton Massey, Kosciusko, for appellant.

Thornton, Mikell Dorrill, Kosciusko, for appellee.


This is an appeal from the Chancery Court of Attala County, Mississippi from a decree awarding appellee a judgment in the amount of $1,560.

On March 1, 1971, this Court entered an order striking the notes of the court reporter because notice was not given to the court reporter to transcribe her notes as required by Mississippi Code 1942 Annotated section 1640 (Supp. 1971).

The only error assigned by the appellant was a question of fact decided by the trial court, and in the absence of a transcript of the evidence, the rule is well settled that we, as a reviewing court, must presume that the evidence was sufficient to support the final decree; therefore, the case is affirmed. Harvey v. Dunaway Brothers, 232 Miss. 89, 98 So.2d 143 (1957).

Affirmed.

GILLESPIE, C.J., and JONES, BRADY and SMITH, JJ., concur.
