Opinion of the Court

Civil action by administratrix of surviving partner for partnership accounting and for alleged fraudulent misapplication of partnership assets.

There was a motion to dismiss the action for laches, or because barred by the statute of limitations, which was overruled. Exception. *Page 519

A compulsory reference was ordered, to which both sides excepted, and the defendants appeal. The refusal to dismiss the action will not be disturbed on appeal (Griffin v. Bank , 205 N.C. 253 , 171 S.E. 71 ), but there was error in ordering a compulsory reference without first disposing of the pleas in bar. C. S., 573; Garland v. Arrowood , 172 N.C. 591 , 90 S.E. 766 ; Jones v. Wooten , 137 N.C. 421 , 49 S.E. 915 ; Royster v. Wright , 118 N.C. 152 , 24 S.E. 746 . Error in this respect is confessed by appellee.

Error.
