Counsel

Runyon and A. Whitehead for the defendants., F, B. Chetwood and W. Pennington for the complainant.

Parkhurst v. Muir

Opinion of the Court

The Chancellor.

On a reference like this, on such a state of pleadings, the master was not at liberty to disregard the settlement. Grounds for impeaching the settled account should have been laid in the bill, if the complainant supposed there were any such grounds, so that the defendant could answer as to them.

If proper grounds can be laid before the court, an 'amendment of the bill may be allowed.
