The appeal is dismissed: the Master lacked jurisdiction to use the slip rule to alter his original substantive disallowance of $1,667 because the slip rule does not permit changing a substantive decision absent an accidental slip, and the $13,667 prison‑visit fee was unreasonable and properly disallowed; accordingly the amended assessment is set aside in respect of $1,667 and the Master’s disallowance of the prison visit fee is upheld.
