The court erred in refusing to sign and seal a certificate of evidence.\n\u201c 2d. The court erred in entering a decree herein in favor of W. J. Neebes.\u201d\nEnough is shown by the abstract for us to know that a bill in equity to foreclose a trust deed was filed by John W. Voorhees against the appellant, W. J. Heebes, A. S. Tyler and L. A. Hippach, and that the default of the appellant was vacated and that she was permitted to appear and answer, but nothing else concerning the bill is shown, and no part of the answer of appellant appears.\nWe may, accordingly, say that the abstract fails to show thakthe appellant had any interest whatever in the suit, or that she has any standing here, or elsewhere, to complain of any decree that was entered therein.\nThe first assigned error is not well taken, if, as we conjecture was the case, there was a reference of the cause to a master and evidence taken by him (of which, however, not a word appears in the abstract), and such evidence was reported to the court.\nHo certificate of evidence in a chancery cause is ever necessary or proper, unless it be to preserve oral evidence introduced upon the hearing. There does' not appear to have been any oral evidence taken before the court, and the master\u2019s report of what was taken before him, became, when filed in court, as much a part of the record as the pleadings or the decree itself, and needed no certificate of the chancellor. Ferris v. McClure, 40 Ill. 99; Jackson v. Sackett, 146 Ill. 646.\nThe second error assigned can not be passed upon for want of an abstract of either bill, answer or evidence heard by the master.\nThe last case in which this court has been required to affirm for want of a sufficient abstract, is Snively v. Hettinger, 67 Ill. App. 278, where reference is made to many decisions by this court and by the Supreme Court.\nThe decree of the Superior Court is affirmed.",
