Nelson v. Town Belmont Et Al‪.‬

RUGG, C. J. The plaintiff seeks by this suit in equity to restrain the enforcement of an alleged amendment to the zoning by-law of the town of Belmont so far as it affects certain land owned by him. The defendants answered to the merits. The case was referred to a master under the usual rule requiring him to hear the parties and their evidence, and to find and report the facts. The master has filed a comprehensive report covering the issues raised. An interlocutory decree was entered overruling the exceptions to and confirming the masters report, from which there was no appeal. A final decree was entered granting relief. The appeal of the defendants brings the case here.
