Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court October 15, 1833 (Field v. Hitchcock)

Shaw C. J.

delivered the opinion of the Court. On an appeal from a decree of the judge of probate, the question is, whether the settlement of a former account by an executor can be pleaded as a final account, so as to secure him from rendering a further account when cited for that purpose, and not only preclude the probate court from any further adjudication, but from all further inquiry.
