Appeal and error, \u00a7 1766 \u2014when a decree erroneously containing a statement of facts will he affirmed on modification. On appeal from a decree dismissing for want of equity a bill filed by a partner against a copartner, which alleged a dissolution of the partnership and prayed for an accounting, etc., the decree erroneously containing a statement of facts was affirmed upon being modified by striking out the statement of facts, it appearing independently from the statement of facts that in the opinion of the chancellor the copartnership was not dissolved.\nAppeal from the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. Richard E. Burke, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in this court at the March term, 1912.\nModified and affirmed.\nOpinion filed January 12, 1914.\nStatement of the Case.\nBill by George Hibbard against John B.
