his pound  with interest and give a receipt for the same accord that it appear by the  testator book that no disbursement on account of the trade be enter after the  first year and therefore it be not

er p in the testator book it be say that if  that be the case the respondent can have no benefit by the decree and  consequent the appellant have no reason to complain of it but that howsoever  the appellant ought not to make such a objection and much less ought he to  profit by the default of his testator who keep all the partnership account and  it be by those very account and no other that the appellant be to be charge  accord after hear counsel on this appeal it be order and adjudge that the same  shall be dismiss and the decree therein complain of affirm jour vol p
