        "text": "Mr. Justice Hand\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nThe complainants filed a bill in chancery in the circuit court of Washington county, \u201cthe single object of which,\u201d as stated in their brief filed in this court, \u201cis to cancel the last will and testament of Robert Staude, deceased, to set aside the probate thereof and distribute the estate of said Robert Staude according to law.\u201d The court sustained a demurrer thereto, and the complainants electing to stand by their bill, a decree was entered dismissing the bill, and for costs. This writ of error is sued out to reverse such decree.\nIn conflict with the complainants\u2019 brief the abstract states: \u201cThe prayer of the bill is in the usual form in such cases, and asks for the cancellation of the will and codicils of said Augustus Staude, deceased.\u201d The exhibits attached to the bill are not abstracted, the abstract contains no assignment of error and is not indexed.\nThe rules of this court require the party bringing a cause into this court to furnish a complete abstract or abridgment of the record, properly indexed,\u2014such an abstract as will fully present every error and exception relied upon, and sufficient for the examination and determination of the case without an examination of the written record. In the case of Gibler v. City of Mattoon, 167 Ill. 18, we said (p. 22): \u201cIt is the duty of parties bringing cases here for review to prepare and file complete abstracts of the record in accordance with the rules, and such abstracts as we can safely rely upon. It is not our duty to perform this work of counsel, which, in detail, as to them is inconsiderable, but when imposed upon us is, in the aggregate, extremely burdensome.\u201d\nThe decree must be affirmed for want of a complete abstract. We have, however, carefully read the briefs, from which it appears there is no substantial error in the decree, and no error which, in the present state of the record, can be availed of by plaintiffs in error.\nThe decree will be affirmed.\nDecree affirmed.",
