Syllabus

Where a bill is filed to settle the affairs of a partnership of long standing, and the accounts consist of numerous items somewhat complicated, it is the duty of the court to refer the case to a master to state the account.</p> <p>2. ■ Same—of a second reference, after exceptions to report. In such a case, where exceptions to the master’s report are sustained, the court should settle, by decree, the matters involved, and again refer the cause to the master to state the account on the basis fixed by the court, so that it may appear what items of account are approved and what rejected by the court.</p>
