¶1An order for an account is not to be made as of course, and should not be directed, but upon a hearing, unless the parties consent. The application was therefore premature; but where it would be proper, as for instance, in all cases where the cause is ready for a decision, which cannot be had without an account, it should not be directed in vacation, without notice to the adverse party or his counsel.
