HAMMOND -v. HAMMOND.—2 BLAND. 307

the trustee of the Court always has a due proportion of interest
awarded to him on the amount allowed to him as a commission by
the order confirming the auditor's report, Brown v. Wallace, 29th
February. 1816. post.

opinion that the auditor has done right in rejecting claims Nos. 11. 12, 18,
14, and 16. But as there is a probability, that the said claims, or some of
them, may be hereafter established, he will not absolutely dismiss them
without notice to the claimants to produce further vouchers.

Ordered, therefore, that the Chancellor will, on application of any person
concerned, proceed immediately to decide on any of the following claims
against the estate of the said Alexander Frazier, viz. William Campbell's.
Robert Ward's executor, Walter Roe's. Richard Ward's and Robert McCoy's:
provided it shall be proved to his satisfaction, if a copy of this order hath
been served on the claimant fifteen days before such application.

Ordered, further, that of the money to arise from the sale of the said
Frazier's real estate, there be paid, agreeably to the auditor's statement, as
follows:

To the trustees, for commissions............................... £90 0s. 0d.

For costs of suit as taxed.......................................... 20 8 6

To the auditor, for fees........................................... 8 15 0

John A. Frazier's representatives.......................... 1,405 12 3

James Pattison's representative................................. 1,067 19 54

Richard Frazier.................................................. 17 8 0

George Mann's representative................................. 34 19 3

Benjamin Harwood............................................... 31 18 3

Daniel Ross.......................................................... 9 .7 8

Wallace & Muir.................................................... 5 7 6 1/2

James..................................................................... 34 5 8

Ordered, further, for the accommodation of all parties concerned, that the
receipt in writing of any person, entitled as aforesaid, filed in this Court for
so much money as is due to the said person, shall be admitted, and con-
sidered as so much money brought into Court, agreeably to the directions of
the decree in this cause: provided the said receipt be filed by the trustees, or
either of them.

N. B.—It is not the Chancellor's meaning, that the whole of this order be
served on those claimants whose claims are doubtful. It will be sufficient
to serve only the clause relating immediately to them, and the preceding
part. The Chancellor has been often embarrassed, and great delay and
trouble in the settlement of cases like the present, has resulted from the
neglect of claimants to exhibit, in the first instance, proper vouchers; and
from his own unwillingness to reject claims which the parties probably have
it in their power to establish, and from the obvious impossibility of his dis-
tinguishing, in the beginning, between inattention, ignorance, and sheer
speculation. The present case has been long delayed on account of such
claimants. Should any of the aforesaid doubtful claims be finally rejected,
there will be another dividend to be struck. That a final settlement may
be had as soon as possible, he recommends the immediate service of the order
as aforesaid.—MS.
