1Opinion of the CourtWalker, J.
This was a suit on an open account. The plaintiff also sought a settlement of partnership accounts. The books and papers were referred to an auditor, who stated an account between the parties, showing a balance in favor of the plaintiff of something over $2000. Exceptions were filed to the report, and the plaintiff denied the exceptions, and moved for judgment on the report.

The plaintiff excepted to the judgment of the court.
