§ 24-8-4. Auditor to hear evidence
The court or the judge thereof may appoint an auditor in all cases where he shall deem it proper, who shall hear evidence, summon witnesses, and compel the production of books and papers, under such rules and regulations as are now practiced in the courts. The auditor shall make his report of such copies of such lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed records; when such report is filed, it shall be made the judgment of the court, unless objections are filed to the same or some part thereof as being incorrect, which objections, if any, shall be heard and determined by the court without the intervention of a jury.
