1. Equity, § 451*—what constitutes a consent decree. A decree entered upon examination and approval by a master in chancery and to have the “O. K.” thereon of the solicitors of both parties to the suit, held to be a consent decree.

2. Contempt, § 68 * —when chancellor may consider whole record. In a contempt proceeding, where the conduct of a solicitor of record is in question, a chancellor has authority to consider the? whole record before him.

3. Equity, § 556*—what decree not set aside on Hll of review'. A consent decree is not subject to be set aside on bill of review.

4. Equity, § 574*—when bill of review is not demurrable. A bill of review charging only errors apparent on the face of the decree sought to be reviewed is not demurrable.

5. Equity'—tv.kera answer to bill of review should not be stricken. If a bill of review sufficiently charged fraud in obtaining the decree sought to be reviewed, defendant’s answer, filed without leave, in justification of the charge should not be stricken from the record and be denied a hearing thereon.

6. Equity, § 582*—what relief may be granted on bill to review consent decree. On a bill to review a consent decree and answer to the bill, held that the chancellor would be authorized only to revise the terms of such decree and not to order payment of money to a third person, as the clerk of the court.

7. Contempt, § 31*—when order to pay money is not basis for order of. An order upon a bill to review a certain consent decree to a party to pay to the clerk of the court, to await the disposition of the bill, a certain sum paid to such party under such decree, held no basis for an order of contempt upon such party for failure to pay such sum.
