The copartnership was admitted, and its affairs were unsettled. The Circuit Court stated an account between the parties, and rendered a decree for the sum found due. . There was no allegation or evidence of any outstanding debts or liabilities of the firm, and no account was required touching them. The court had power to perform the duties ordinarily performed by its master in stating the account between the parties. No injustice was done to either party, as each had the same rights before the court in regard to the production of books, examination upon interrogatories, &c., that they would have had before the master. 29 Ill. 500; Jewett v. Cunard, 3 Wood & Min. 277.\nWe are satisfied that the decree does the plaintiff in error no iniustice, and it is affirmed.\nDecree affirmed.",
