Syllabus

<p>Where the auditor appointed to audit the account of a trustee refuses, for lack of vouchers, to allow certain credits claimed, finds numerous evidences of mismanagement through lack of business qualifications on the part of the trustee, but not through dishonesty, and accordingly reduces the trustee’s commissions to the amount due him upon the business properly done, some of tbe exceptions to the account being dismissed and some sustained, it is not error to decree as to costs that they be divided between the estate and the accountant.</p> <p>Note. — For the necessity of vouchers by an accountant, and the effect upon commissions of mismanagement, see note to Haviland’s Appeal, 4 Sad. Rep. 491.</p>
