Welch v. Durkin
Welch v. Durkin
Opinion of the Court
When this case was called for a hearing, the defendants made a motion to dismiss it, on the ground that it was prematurely brought here according to the provisions of the 4250th section of the Code. It appears from the record before us that the complainants filed their bill against John Durkin, administrator of John O’Brien, deceased, and Cath
The section' of the Code before cited declares that, “No cause shall be carried to the supreme court upon any bill of exceptions, so long as the same is pending in the court below, unless the decision or judgment complained of, if it had been rendered as claimed by the plaintiff in error, would have been a final disposition of the cause.” The finding of the jury upon Durkin’s plea was not a final disposition of thé cause, but on the contrary, the same is still pending in the court below against him and the other defendants, and that being so, the case must be dismissed, and it is so ordered. Whereupon the plaintiffs in error were allowed, on their own motion, to withdraw their case from this court.
