Description
DREW, Justice. The questions raised in this appeal require a consideration of the evidence which was taken before the lower court and on
the basis of which the decree was rendered. It is apparent from the record that many witnesses appeared before the chancellor
and testified with reference to whether the land involved in this proceeding was or was not the homestead of Mingo Roberts
at the time of his death in 1931 and the many collateral issues involved in the litigation such as the question of whether
the widow of Mingo Roberts, who continued to reside on the property following her husband's death, occupied the same as a
life tenant or as a claimant of the fee simple title by virtue of a specific devise in the will of her late husband. While
the record before us contains what appears to be most of the exhibits introduced in the trial of that cause, there is no authenticated
transcript of the testimony to which we may turn for the purpose of disposing of the questions raised by appellants. There
is an abortive attempt in the transcript to furnish this deficiency but such is wholly ineffectual for that purpose. Not having
before us any authenticated transcript of the testimony taken before the lower court, the record affords no basis whatever
for us to pass upon the questions raised in the appeal.
