The question now is, not how the costs shall finally he allowed and taxed in favor of either party against the other, which can he determined properly only at the making of the final decree, hut is, which party shall pay these fees in the first instance ? As the defend[540]*540ants have been adjudged to be infringers, and decreed to account for the gains, profits, and damages of their infringemeht, they are to go forward in the accounting and bear the necessary expenses of doing so, among which are the master’s fees.
