LEARNED HAND, District Judge.
The bill is for an accounting to be rendered by a factor to his principal under a contract of March 31, 1908. Concededly an accounting was due from the defendants, who were the plaintiff’s intestate’s factors. The defendants answer that they in fact accounted monthly, and that up to the time of the death of plaintiff’s intestate the accounts were settled, but that after her death the accounts were returned. To the answer were annexed all the accounts actually rendered from April 1, 1910, to the conclusion of the transactions between the parties.
