In re Howe
New York Court of Chancery · Decided August 18, 1835
2 Edw. Ch. 484
In re Howe

Opinion of the Court

Upon the coming in of the master’s report, the guardian ad litem suggested, whether the creditors, who had obtained the reference, ought not to bear the whole of the costs of it; and cited Bennett’s Master, 55, where he says, ‘’Every creditor establishes his claim at his own expense.” But The Vice-Chancellor decided that the fund in court must bear the expenses of the master, guardian ad litem and solicitor of the creditors.
