Heirs of DuBourg de St. Colombe v. United States

Syllabus

A complex and intricate account is an unfit subject for examination in a court, and ought always to be referred to a commissioner, to be examined by him and reported in order to a final decree. To such report the parties may take any exceptions, and thus bring any question they may think proper before the court.
