This is the name of a writ or action more properly called account render .
2 .
It is applicable to the ,
case of an unliquidated demand ,
against a person who is chargeable as bailiff or receiver .
The use of it ,
is where the plaintiff wants an account and cannot give evidence of his right without it .

or where a man is charged as bailiff ,
whereupon the certainty of his receipt appears not till account .

The interlocutory judgment in this action is (
quod computet )
that the defendant render an account upon which judgment auditors are assigned to him to hear and report his account . (
See I Lutwych ,
47 ;
3 Leon .
149 ,
for precedents )
As the principal object of the action is to compel a settlement of the account in the first instance ,
special bail cannot be demanded , (

53 ;

nor are damages awarded upon the first judgment ,
nor given except ratione interplacitationis , (

The reason assigned for this rule ,
is ,
that it may be the defendant will not be found in arrears after he has accounted ,
and the court cannot know until the settlement of the account whether the plaintiff has been endamaged or not .

This action combines the properties of a legal and equitable action .
The proceedings up to the judgment quod computet ,
and subsequent to the account reported by the auditors are conducted upon the principles of the common law .
But the account is to be adjusted upon the most liberal principles of equity and ,
good faith . (

The fist judgment (
quod computet )
is enforced by a capias ad computandum where defendant refuses to appear before the auditors ,
upon which he may be held to bail ,
or in default of bail be made to account in prison .
The final judgment quod recuperet is enforced by fi .
fa .
or such other process as the law allows for the recovery of debts .
6 .
If the defendant charged as bailiff is found in surplusage ,
no judgment can be entered thereon to recover the amount so found in his favor against the plaintiff ,
but as the auditors are judges of record ,
he may bring an action of debt ,
or by some authorities a sci .
fac .
against the plaintiff ,
whereon he may have judgment and execution against the plaintiff .

In those states where they have courts of chancery ,
this action is nearly superseded by the better remedy which is given by a bill in equity ,
by which the complainant can elicit a discovery of the acts from the defendant under his oath ,
instead of relying merely on the evidence he may be able to produce .

Courts of equity have concurrent jurisdiction in matters of account with courts of law ,
and sometimes exclusive jurisdiction at least in some respects :
For example ;
if a plaintiff be entitled to an account ,
a court of equity will restrain the defendant from proceeding in a claim ,
the correctness of which cannot be ascertained until the account be taken ;
but not where the subject is a matter of set -
off .

ACCOUNT ,
practice .
A statement of the receipts and payments of an executor ,
administrator ,
or other trustee ,
of the estate confided to him .
2 .
Every one who administers the affairs of another is required at the end of his administration to render an account of his management of the same .
Trustees of every description can ,
in general ,
be compelled by courts of chancery to settle accounts ,
or otherwise fully execute their trusts .
Where there are no courts of chancery ,
the courts of common law are usually invested with power for the same purposes by acts of legislation .
When a party has had the property of another as his agent ,
he may be compelled at common law to account by an action of account render .
3 .
An account is also the statement of two merchants or others who have dealt together ,
showing the debits and credits between them .
