The plaintiff in an action of ejectment moved the court for judgment on the pleadings in his favor in accordance with the provisions of the Act of June 12,1919, P. L. 478, amending the Act of May 8,1901, P. L. 142, as amended by the Act of June 7, 1915, P. L. 887. The court refused the motion. Plaintiff appeals.

The order of the court of common pleas was not final but interlocutory in character, and no appeal lies from it unless allowed by statute; Smith v. Scholl, 262 Pa. 124,127.

The Act of April 18, 1874, P. L. 64, which authorizes an appeal by the plaintiff from the order of the court refusing judgment for want of a sufficient affidavit of defense in actions wherein “by act of assembly or rule of *123 court,” the plaintiff is entitled to ask for such judgment, does not apply. The pleadings in the action of ejectment consist of a declaration, with an abstract of the plaintiff’s title, on the one hand, and a plea of “not guilty” and an answer in the nature of a special plea, with an abstract of the title under which defendant claims, on the other. The answer thus required is not an affidavit of defense within the provisions of the Act of 1874, supra, and does not become one because it may be mistakenly so endorsed. We are referred to no other statute as authority for the appeal, and in default thereof it must be quashed.

Appeal quashed.
