Adams v. Woods
Adams v. Woods
Opinion of the Court
Cope, J. concurring.
This is an appeal from an order directing the receiver to “ distribute of the funds in Ms hands, under and in the order mentioned in the decree heretofore made in this cause, the sum of $5,000 to the parties entitled to the same.” This order is not a special proceeding within the purview of the first subdivision of section three hundred and tMrty-six of the Practice Act. It does not resemble the order made m this case reported M 18 Cal. 30, which was held to be a special proceeding, and not appurtenant to the mam litigation, but appears to be oMy an interlocutory order m the progress of the action.
The document filed as the record on tMs appeal consists simply of an order, entitled in this action, upon the receiver to file Ms “ final account,” then a brief account, filed by the receiver, called a “ supplemental account,” and which consists only of a recital of what a referee had reported as to the receiver’s accounts, and a statement of eertarn offsets w'hich the receiver says the referee dis
The order, therefore, not being one for which a separate appeal is provided, the appeal must be dismissed.

- An order directing the receiver in an action to “ distribute of the funds in his hands, under and in the order mentioned in the decree heretofore made in this cause, the sum of $5,000 to the parties entitled to the same,” is not an appeal-able order. Such an order is not a special proceeding, within the purview of the first subdivision of section three hundred and thirty-six of the Practice Act, nor can it, when detached from the proceedings in an action, be treated as a final judgment from which an appeal may be taken. If an order for the distribution of a sum of money by a receiver may in some cases be a final judgment, an appeal from it must present it as the final result of some proceeding, and the record must show what the proceeding is.
