Syllabus

<p>1. Special Master — Reference—Sales.—A Circuit Judge passed a consent order, referring tbe cause to a special master to take the testimony and report the same to the court, as the master for the county was disqualified. On the coming in of this report, a decree was proposed, directing a sale of the land, the subject of the suit, by such special master; whereupon the master intervened, and claimed that he was not now, and never had been, disqualified, and that he was entitled by law to make the sale. Upon inquiry, it was ascertained that the master was not now disqualified, and he was directed to make this sale. Held, that there was no error in considering the master’s rights in this matter, nor in directing the sale to be made by him.</p> <p>Only result concurred in.</p>
