Proceedings on settlement of account.
On the day appointed for auditing such account, any person may attend on the part of such executor or administrator and show that he is entitled to additional credits; and any person interested may attend and contest any item of such account or in any previous account, or may show assets not accounted for, or that such executor or administrator has failed to collect any assets from want of due diligence, or that, by any abuse of, or failure to discharge his trust, such assets or any portion thereof have been injured, destroyed or depreciated; and, in case of such proof, the executor or administrator must be charged therewith; and, upon such settlements, decrees must be rendered as upon settlements voluntarily made.
