576 HAMMOND v. HAMMOND.—2 BLAND

takes the place of the creditor whose claim he has thus satisfied,
and is allowed interest accordingly. I see nothing erroneous in
the mode of charging interest as stated in the accounts reported
by the auditor.

Whereupon, it is ordered, that the exceptions to the auditor's
report be overruled, and the case is hereby again referred to the
auditor, with directions to state an account accordingly, after the
whole fund set apart by the will and codicil shall have been ap-
plied as therein directed; which may be effected either by a sale
of so much of it as yet remains undisposed of, under a decree to
be passed for that purpose, or by having it disposed of and ad-
justed by consent.

After which, the parties having adjusted some of the matters in
controversy by an agreement filed in the case, the auditor made a
report of the amount with which each of the devisees was charge-
able, as contributors to the sum necessary to be raised to meet the
amount of claims against the estate, and the case was again sub-
mitted to the Court.

BLAND. C., 4th February, 1830.—This case standing ready for
hearing, ami being submitted, the proceedings were read and con-

28th of January last, and his additional report of this day, be, and
