land. The Master conceived that, under these words
of the order, he was limited to the enquiry merely

the question of tithe, and that the order of reference
hoed merely to the title; but without prejudice to
any application to the Court, on the question whe.

whether he must take the estate at all events, and
accept of a compensation, in case the land retnalt:ed
