Analysis
The court considered a special master's report and the parties' exceptions to it. The court overruled the exceptions, adopted the master's findings and recommendations, and ordered the entry of a decree.
| What the court decided | The model |
|---|---|
Exceptions to the special master's report are disallowed and overruled.“Accordingly, all exceptions are disallowed and overruled” | agree with court The order states that 'no sufficient reason is shown to justify rejection of the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the special master.' This indicates the court applied a deferential standard, likely requiring clear error or a showing that the master's findings were against the weight of the evidence. The decision follows logically from the court's finding that the exceptions failed to meet this burden. |
The special master's report is adopted, approved, and confirmed, and a decree is ordered to be entered.“the report of Special Master Head filed herein on November 22, 1934, is adopted, approved, and confirmed, and a decree as recommended by said special master is ordered to be entered herein.” | agree with court This is the direct consequence of overruling the exceptions. By adopting the report, the court incorporates the master's factual findings and legal conclusions into the final judgment. |
The order itself: sound — The order is a standard procedural ruling adopting a special master's report. It correctly identifies the standard (implied deference) and the outcome. It lacks detailed reasoning but is sufficient for this type of order.
Opinion — McCormick

Upon consideration of the special master’s report and exceptions and objections thereto, as well as briefs of solicitors, no sufficient reason is shown to justify rejection of the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the special master. Accordingly, all exceptions are disallowed and overruled, and the report of Special Master Head filed herein on November 22, 1934, is adopted, approved, and confirmed, and a decree as recommended by said special master is ordered to be entered herein. Exceptions allowed all defendants to the aforesaid order, and to the decree hereby directed, when said decree is entered herein.
