In re the Estate of Latz
In re the Estate of Latz
Opinion of the Court
Martin Clark, as administrator de bonis non of the estate of Catharine Latz, deceased, presented his petition to the surrogate, praying for an order against the executrix of John Latz, deceased, administrator of said Catherine Latz, requiring her to account for the unadministered assets of said Catherine Latz remaining in the hands of such executrix.
The executrix answered such petition and plead, among other things, the statute of limitations as a bar thereto.
This order is not a final order, and being made in a special proceeding, is therefore unappealable to this court. Subd. 3, § 190, Code of Civil Procedure; Roe v. Boyle, Exr., etc., 81 N. Y. 305; In re Whittlesey v. Hoguet, 66 N. Y. 358.
The question whether this proceeding is barred by the statute of limitations may be the subject of litigation upon the accounting, but whether so or not is immaterial upon the question of the powers of this court to review the order appealed from.
The adjudication of the general term was not final upon any question in the case.
The appeal must therefore be dismissed, with costs.
All concur.
