    Monday, September 21, 1807.
    Administration Account — Settlement—Failnre to Give Notice to Legatees — Effect.—A settlement (by commissioners appointed by the Court ol Chancery) ol an administration account, without notice to the legatees or distributees, is against the constant course of the court.
    In these cases, a decree had been made for the settlement and division of Patrick
    Henry’s estate; and the commissioners appointed had reported the admininstra- „ tion accounts *of the executors, to which Campbell, by counsel, objected, upon the ground, that they had been settled by the commissioners, without notice to the legatees.
   PRR CURIAM.

A settlement of such accounts, without notice, is against the constant course of the Court, and must be set aside, and the report recommitted.
