Reference D b\u2014\nAn order entered by consent of tlie parties upon a bearing of exceptions to a referee\u2019s report that issues raised by the exceptions should be submitted to the jury is valid although the original reference was by consent.\n2. Courts A f\u2014\nA judge of the Superior Court may not strike out ex mero motu an order entered in the cause at a prior term by another Superior Court judge, or disregard such prior order.\nAppeal by plaintiffs and defendant from Barnhill, J., at February Special Term, 1934, of Waice.\nCivil action for an accounting with respect to transactions had between plaintiffs\u2019 intestate and the defendant over a period of approximately twenty years.\nThe defendant denied liability and set up a counterclaim.\nAt the April Term, 1933, there was an order of reference by consent entered in the cause.\nAt the December Term, 1933, the matter came on for hearing upon exceptions filed by both sides to the report of the referee. After a full consideration of the case, it was ordered, Judge Harris, presiding, with the consent of the parties, that certain issues raised by the exceptions be submitted to a jury at a subsequent term of court.\nAt the February Special Term, 1934, Judge Barnhill, presiding, the order entered at the previous December Term was stricken out ex mero motu, or disregarded, on the ground that a jury trial was not in order as the original reference was by consent and both parties had thereby waived their rights to a jury trial. To this ruling the plaintiffs objected and excepted.\nThe court thereupon considered the exceptions to the referee\u2019s report, sustained some and overruled others, and entered judgment accordingly.\nBoth sides appeal, assigning errors.\nE. D. Flowers and J. G. Mills for plaintiffs.\nGulley & Gulley for defendant."
