Johnson's Ex'r v. Clark

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Johnson's Ex'r v. Clark, 4 Ark. 235 (Ark. 1842)

Johnson's Ex'r v. Clark

Opinion of the Court

Held, that, according to the act of the General Assembly regulating the practice of the Circuit Courts in cases in Chancery, a party is not entitled to an appeal, unless upon a final decision, order, or decree.

And that, where the drecree affirms that the conveyance of certain slaves is a mortgage, and that the complainant has a right to redeem under it, and directs the Master in Chancery to take an account, and make report to the next term of the Court; these facts clearly show that the decree is merely interlocutory, and not final or conclusive between the parties; and fhc appeal will be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
