SITTING IN EQUITY
FRANCIS A. BYERLY        :   October Sessions 1908

SUR EXCEPTIONS TO MASTER'S REPORT
DICKINSON, J.
The parties to this contention have each filed
exceptions to the report of the Master. The de-
served compliments which have been bestowed upon
the Master for the ability displayed in the consid-
eration and discussion of the matters submitted to
him, and the fullness with which he has applied that
ability to the performance of his duties, as well as
the thoroughness of his investigation, lead to the ex-
pectation of a finding of the correctness of the con-
clusions reached. On the other hand, as this is an
inquiry into the amount of profits made:in-a manu-
facturing venture from the 'use of a process employed
in securing a special product, a finding of about
25% profit flowing from the use of this process alone,
and a claim of still greater profits, prompts an in-
quiry into the methods by which this result was
reached.
The plaintiff vindicates the justness of his
claim on the ground, broadly stated, that by his
process a hitherto wholly worthless residuum is trans-
muted into a product of great commercial value, and
that the profits are measured by the gross value of
this product, lessened only by the cost of applying
the process and marketing the product.
