Syllabus

<p>1. Exceptions taken to an intermediate decree, but not then- prosecuted on appeal, may not afterwards be considered on appeal from a subsequent intermediate decree; they must await the final judgment.</p> <p>2. An order appointing a special master instead of the master to whom it had been referred by a previous order (not appealed from) to take the testimony, &c., is not properly an order of reference, but a direction to carry into effect the previous order of the court.</p> <p>3. An order of reference to take testimony and state accounts may be made by the court in the absence of persons directed by the same order to be made parties by amendment. This case distinguished from Ex parte Maurice, 24 S. 0., 173, and Holladay v. Holladay, 27 Id., 622.</p>
