   MORTON, District Judge.

Whether a master, to whom a matter is referred to find the facts, should state his conclusions upon the case, is a question upon which, in the superior court at least, there has been a difference of opinion among the judges. It seems to me proper and' helpful for the master to do so; and I understand this to be the usual practice in all bankruptcy matters referred to referees.

Motion to strike out denied.
