Spence, individually and as trustee, and after due consideration and after hearing counsel, it is on motion of McManus, Ernst, Ernst & Lynch, attorneys for the receivers and Irving Trust Company (successor to Irving Bank-Columbia Trust Company), a bondholder, hereby ordered and decreed:
(1) That the report of William W. Hop-pin, Esq., Special Master herein, dated July 17,1931, be, and the same hereby is, in all respects approved and confirmed, no exceptions having been filed thereto by any of the parties in interest, and the time for their filing having expired.
(2) That the fee of William W. Hoppin, Esq., special master herein, for his services under the order entered herein, dated May 20, 1929, be, and the same hereby is, fixed at the sum of $1,500.
(3) That the said fee be taxed against and paid by the parties to this suit, on whose behalf the order dated May 20, 1929, was made, and, inasmuch as counsel for Edwin H.
