Decree affirmed with costs of the appeal. This is an appeal from a decree of the Superior Court denying the petitioner leave to file a bill to review the final decree against the petitioner in a suit in equity. See Twomey v. Roy, ante, 759. The only ground for review set forth in the amended petition is in substance that upon the resumption of the hearing in the original cause before the master on December 4, 1944, the “selected and approved” stenographer who had taken the evidence on six previous days was unable to be present; that the petitioner could not secure a substitute; that, relying upon the assurance of her counsel that notes would be taken of the evidence so that it could be presented to the Supreme Judicial Court, she went on with the hearings on December 4 and 5; and that now she cannot get a full report of the evidence for use on appeal to this court from the final decree. It is plain that the petitioner does not allege error of law upon the face of the record, nor does she allege any of the grounds upon which review is commonly allowed. Boston & Maine Railroad v. Greenfield, 253 Mass. 391, 397. Hyde Park Savings Bank v. Davankoskas, 298 Mass. 421, 423. Theberge v. Howe, 314 Mass. 22, 25. Relevancy of the matters relied upon is carefully considered before leave to file is granted. Manning v. Woodlawn Cemetery Corp. 249 Mass. 281, 286. Boston v. Santosuosso, 308 Mass. 189, 200. There is nothing to show that the court had ordered the master to report the evidence. Such an order is not common. It does not appear that any substantial question of law arose before the master in connection with which the petitioner needed the evidence taken on December 4 and 5 to support in accordance with Rule 90 of the Superior *760Court (1932) any objection taken to the master’s report. It therefore does not appear that in fact the outcome of the case was affected in any way by the absence of a stenographic report of the evidence taken on those days. See Mackay v. Brock, 245 Mass. 131, 134; Manning v. Woodlawn Cemetery Corp. 249 Mass. 281, 288. But it does appear that the petitioner went on with the hearing without the stenographer, and there is no showing that she made any objection or any effort to have the situation corrected in the trial court, which could have dealt with it as justice required. Nelson v. Bailey, 303 Mass. 522, 525. Peterson v. Hopson, 306 Mass. 597, 601-602. It would be unfair to permit the petitioner to raise the question for the first time after an adverse decree. Handy v. Miner, 265 Mass. 226. See Clapp v. Thaxter, 7 Gray, 384. The case is distinguishable in this respect from Mulrey v. Carberry, 204 Mass. 378. See Mulrey v. Carberry, 207 Mass. 390. The judge exercised a sound discretion when he denied leave to file the petition. See Elliott v. Balcom, 11 Gray, 286, 300; Stuart v. Roche, 264 Mass. 63, 65.
