Opinion of the Court

Sinkler, J.,

Whether an accountant is entitled to commission in such case as the present depends upon the particular circumstances of each case, and presents a question to be determined in the exercise of the auditing judge’s discretion. The exercise of his discretion *702will not be disturbed except for gross abuse. No such abuse exists in the present case. The allowance is manifestly correct.

The exceptions are dismissed and the adjudication is confirmed absolutely.
