WEST AND COURTENAY
ADM'RS OF WEST
vs.
NATHANIEL WILLIAMS.

DECEMBER TERM, 1848.

[EXCEPTIONS TO ANSWER—ALLEGATIONS OF THE BILL.]

EXCEPTIONS to an answer for insufficiency, can only be sustained where some
material allegation, charge or interrogatory in the bill, is not fully answered.

The court must see, by referring to the bill, alone, in connection with the ex-
ception, that the precise matters, as to which a further answer is sought,
are stated in the bill, or, that such an answer is called for by the interroga-
tories.

Exceptions to an answer, upon the ground that the defendant did not give a de-
tailed account of the management of a trust fund which came to his hands,
as agent, were overruled, because the bill only called upon him for an account
of the business of the trust, and not for an account of the business of the trust
and agency.

[James West, deceased, in the year 1805, conveyed his prop-
erty to trustees for the benefit of his creditors, and was himself
appointed by the trustees their agent for managing the trust.
On the death of West, in 1809, Nathaniel Williams was made
agent in his place, and afterwards on the death of the trustees,
he was appointed trustee, and has continued to act in that ca-
pacity ever since. This bill was brought by the complainants
to recover from Williams certain moneys which they allege to
be due the estate of their intestate, on account of his services
as agent as aforesaid; and also an allowance to his widow, one
of the complainants, for dower. The case was brought before
the court at this term, on exceptions to the defendant's answer,
and as all the facts material to that question are given by the
