““When a cause is referred to a master to take an account of profits or damages, it is his duty to pass upon all the questions of procedure arising before him. His action is subject to review only when he has completed his labors, and filed his report; and the court will not, in the meantime, on the application of a party, give him directions not to take evidence in relation to a particular matter.””
