““In a suit in accounting in equity the burden of proof is upon the defendant to account for all money or property of the plaintiff that has come into his hands. He has the burden of showing that he is entitled to credit for moneys charged in his account or as having been paid by him to or for the use of the plaintiff, and the plaintiff does not have the burden of showing that the items charged were improper or that the defendant was not entitled thereto.””
