CRAPSTER v. GRIFFITH.
DECREED, that the release signed and sealed by the complainant
Harriet, filed with the proceedings, exhibit No. 6, be set aside,
annulled, and declared void as such, leaving the money and arti-
cles therein referred to, to be restored or "accounted for as shall
hereafter be ordered. And that the defendant account with the
complainants for their proportion of the personal estate, and for
the rents and profits of the real estate in the proceedings men-

to the proof already taken, and in addition thereto, on such proof
as may be produced by either party; and to be returned, subject
