In re the Estate of Moore
In re the Estate of Moore
Opinion of the Court
— The decedent left a will by which he disposed of a certain water ditch and lands connected therewith, and, among other things, provided in his will that his wife should have the management of the ditch and lands in trust during her life, and that in case of her death, before certain other trustees, grandchildren of his, n-^tmed in the will as trustees, should arrive at full age, \
This appeal is from the order vacating the former order. The respondent contends that the order appealed from is not an appealable order, and that therefore the appeal should he dismissed. We think this point is well taken. Appeals can only be taken from such judgments or orders in probate proceedings as are mentioned in section 963 of the Code of Civil Procedure, and the order appealed from in this case is not one of the number. (Const. Cal., art. 6, sec. 4; Estate of Calaban, 60 Cal. 232; Estate of Dean, 62 Cal. 613.)
Appeal dismissed.
Beatty, C. J., Paterson, J., McFarland, J., Fox, J.$ Snarpstein, J., and Thornton, J., concurred.

- Appeal—Probate Proceedings — Appealable Orders.—Appeals can only be taken from such judgments or orders in probate proceedings as are mentioned in section 963 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Id. — Order Vacating Order Substituting a Trustee. — Where a testator appointed his widow trustee of his estate, and in case of her death, before certain other trustees, named in the will, became of age, then the trust to devolve upon his son, and the widow voluntarily renounced her trust in court and consented to the appointment by the court of her son as trustee, and upon application of the widow and a minor trustee, such order is vacated, no appeal will lie from the order vacating the order of substitution, such order not being one of those enumerated in section 963 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
