*Chew v. Beverly and Others.
    September Term, 1808.
    Commissioners — Report—Return.—Exception to the general rule, that reports of commissioners must lie till the next term after that to which they are returned.
    
      The bill in this case was brought to subject the lands of the testator to the payment of the plaintiff’s demand, by bond. An account was directed of the personal estate; and the Commissioner reported, that there was no personal estate of which an account could be taken. And the question was, whether, as the report had come in to this term, it should lie until the next term, under the rule of Court.
   By the Chancellor.

There is no necessity for this report to lie, as it is admitted that neither party means to except to it, and therefore the cause may come on.
