Opinion by
This appeal brings up for review a decree of the Circuit Court of Grant County, made in the matter of the final account of Kenneth F. MacRae, as assignee of Murray Brothers, formerly partners doing business as stockmen and ranchers in Grant, Harney, and Malheur counties. MacRae was appointed in November, 1891, assumed control and management of the estate January 1, 1892, and filed his final account on May 31, 1894, showing a balance on hand of $4,256.70, of which he asked to be allowed the sum of $3,390.37 for his personal services as assignee, and $866.33 as a balance due for the services of his attorneys. After several ineffectual attempts to bring the matter of the account to a hearing, January 19, 1895, was fixed as the time for hearing objections thereto, and for the settlement thereof, of which due notice was given. On the eighteenth of January, 1895, one of the creditors of the estate filed objections to many items in the assignee’s final account, specifying with considerable detail the grounds of such objections. Nothing further, however, appears in the journal of the court in reference to the matter until May, 1896, when the court filed a decision wherein he makes some findings of fact to the effect that the estate had been extrava
Reversed.
