(Not to be reported in full.)

Abstract of the Decision.

Guardian and ward, § 80 * —when guardian not liable for compound Interest. A bill by the guardian of a minor child against its father, the former guardian, for an accounting, alleging that if the interest on the fund had been collected annually from the bor*557rower and reloaned, instead of being allowed to accumulate, a sum amounting to about fifteen per cent, of that claimed by the former guardian to be due would have been realized, is properly dismissed as without equity where the father, as guardian, paid all the expenses of the estate and of his child from his own funds, which payments amount to very much more than he is sought to be charged with, although he was a poor man, and made no claim for guardian’s compensation.
