        "text": "Hr. Presiding Justice Horton\ndelivered the opinion of the court.\nThis is a proceeding by bill in chancery to foreclose a mortgage. On behalf of appellants it is - urged that the evidence does not sustain the decree for the reason that no witness states that the notes secured by the mortgage have not- been paid. That was not necessary. The principal note and the interest notes were produced and oifered in evidence by appellee. The execution of same was not in any manner denied or contested. A prima, facie case was then made by appellee. Them is no testimony in the record of any payment of, or on account of said notes, or either of them, nor of any failure of consideration. The evidence was sufficient to support the decree as to that.\nIt is also urged that the master in chancery did not, in his report, include all of the testimony taken before him. This contention is not sustained by the record. In objections filed by appellants to the confirmation of the master\u2019s report, it is stated that testimony was taken by the master which is not contained in his report. These objections are not verified, nor are they in any manner supported by affidavit or otherwise. The certificate of the master is that his report contains all the testimony submitted to him in said cause. This can not be overcome by unverified and unsupported statements by counsel.\nIt is also urged by brief for appellants that solicitor\u2019s fees should not have been allowed because there is no proof that appellee had paid his solicitor, or became liable to pay him. ISTo such proof was necessary. We perceive no error in this record.\nThe decree of the Circuit Court is affirmed.",
