## Opinion text

PACKEL, Justice,
dissenting.
The trial court, in this controversy involving in excess of four million dollars, concluded that it was without authority *616 to grant leave to file exceptions nine days late. I agree with the majority holding that the court below had that authority. I dissent because the matter should have been remanded to the trial court to exercise its sound discretion in reviewing the facts as to the delay, in light of our determination that it has such authority.
ROBERTS, J., joins in this dissenting opinion.
