    Error to tlie Chancery Court of Winston County.
    Hon. L. Brame, Chancellor.
    The final decree of the Chancery Court confirmed the restatement of the plaintiff in error’s final account, as reported by the clerk, to whom, on exceptions, it was referred as master, and directed distribution of the balance found due the estate, among the defendants in error, as distributees.
    
      R. G. Rives, for the plaintiff in error,
    argued, in an elaborate brief, the propriety of the items of the administrator’s account, the exceptions thereto, and the errors of fact committed by the clerk in restating the account.
    
      Nugent & Willie, for the defendants in error.
    No error appears in the decree of reference as to the principles on which the account was to be restated, and, as no exceptions were filed to the master’s report, this court will not hear any objection thereto. Williamson v. Downs, 34 Miss. 402.

delivered the opinion of the court.
