and that the said defendants Richard G. Stockett and Henry Way-
man account with the complainants in the premises. It is further
Decreed, that these cases, so consolidated, be, and they are hereby
referred to the auditor to state the accounts, and to inquire whether
any, and what allowance shall be made, and to whom, for the
maintenance and education of the complainant for the time past or
