Opinion

BROWN, J.

The appeal in this case is prosecuted by R. H. Hart and Loui Hart, individually and as executors of the last will and testament of Della Hart, deceased, from an interlocutory decree of the circuit court, sitting in equity, entered in the matter of the estate of said Della Hart, deceased, overruling the demurrers of the appellants to a petition filed by Viola Hart Greet, one of the legatees under the will, praying for an order requiring the executors to give bond, file inventories, and restraining them from disposing of the real property belonging to said estate, pending- further orders of the court.

The case was submitted on motion of the appellee to dismiss the appeal, and on the merits.

The decree appealed from is not an appeal-able order or decree within the statute authorizing appeals from certain interlocutory decrees in equity cases, and the appeal does not confer jurisdiction on this court to review the rulings questioned by the assignments of error. Code 1923, § 6079; Devane v. Smith, 216 Ala. 177, 112 So. 837; McKenzie v. Jensen, 200 Ala. 191, 75 So. 939.

Appeal dismissed.
