¶1My opinion is, that there can be no appeal from an inferior Court until a final decree. Before that period, the appellate Court has no jurisdiction. The words of the law are so explicit, that argument cannot render them clearer.
¶2I do not see any difference between this case and that of Young v. Skipwith, [2 Wash. 300.] I think, there cannot be any appeal, before the final decree of the High Court of Chancery. Till then, this Court has no jurisdiction of the cause.
¶3I am clear that no appeal lies until a final decree. Although this may be inconvenient,
¶4Remand the cause to the Court of Chancery to be fui’ther proceeded in.
