accounts referred to them, take down the evidence in writing, which may be
lawfully offered in relation to such accounts, and prepare materials on

with their opinion, to the, court in which such accounts originated. 6
Cranch, 8; 1 Aik. 145; 12 Mass. 412.

so, unless excepted to. 5 Rawle, R. 323. It may be set aside, either with or
