Walker
Pinneo v. Knox
Opinion of the Court
In this case, in the court below, a bill was filed to foreclose a mortgage, and a decree rendered in that court, and an appeal is brought to this court. Motion is now entered to dismiss the appeal. We have frequently held that a bill to foreclose a mortgage does not involve a freehold, and that the appeal should be taken from the circuit to the Appellate Court, and not to this.
The appeal will therefore be dismissed.

- Syllabus
- Appeal from, a trial court to this court—bill to foreclose mortgage—freehold. A bill in chancery to foreclose a mortgage upon real estate does not involve a freehold. Therefore in such a suit an appeal does not lie directly from the trial court to this court. The appeal should be taken in the first instance to an Appellate Court.
