Whalen Estate

Whalen Estate
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided January 8, 1947 · Maxey, Drew, Linn, Stern, Patterson, Stearne, Jones
50 A.2d 691; 356 Pa. 9; 1947 Pa. LEXIS 297 (Atlantic Reporter, Second Series)

Whalen Estate

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

This is an appeal from an order of the Orphans’ Court of Philadelphia County refusing a petition for a citation to show cause why the report of a master, appointed by an auditing judge to assist him in ascertaining the heirs and nest of kin of a decedent, should not be filed with the clerk of the Orphans’ Court and not with the auditing judge. Such an order is clearly interlocutory, from which no appeal lies. See Aman Estate, 356 Pa. 1.

Appeal quashed.
