476 HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY. done the attorney who had instituted the .suits and obtained the judgments, and this, I think, will be accomplished by dividing the usual commission of five per centum equally between him. and the attorney by whom the money may be collected, and an order will be passed accordingly; the said commissions to be paid out of the interest upon the proceeds of the sale of the personal estate already received or to be received. In addition to the above question, exceptions to the Audi- tor's report have been submitted, in pursuance of a previous order, and upon these, the counsel of some of the parties inte- rested have been heard.
