¶2The appeal in this case must be dismissed, the record having been prematurely transmitted to this court. The Chancellor had not passed a final decree on all the matters in controversy between the parties, but had expressly reserved a portion of them for further adjudication.

¶3The court will sign an order dismissing the appeal, and remanding the case to the Court of Chancery, that such further proceedings may be had thereon, as the nature of the case may require. appeal dismissed.
