Opinion

Mr. Justice McSurely

delivered the opinion of the court.

Complainants filed a hill for partition of real estate and for construction of a will, to which answers were filed, and the chancellor duly entered a decree. From this decree the complainants prayed an appeal to the Supreme Court of Illinois, which was allowed, and subsequently an appeal bond was filed reciting the appeal to the Supreme Court and conditioning the obligation upon the affirmance of the judgment in the Supreme Court.

It has been held that in a partition suit a freehold is involved, and that the appeal should be taken directly to the Supreme Court and not to this court. In the instant case the appeal was taken to the proper Court, but for some reason which does not appear the record, abstract and briefs have been filed in this court and the cause docketed as an appeal. This is manifestly a mistake; there is no appeal to this court. We shall therefore order the cause stricken from the docket of this court, with leave to the complainants to withdraw the record, abstract and briefs from this court for the purpose of filing them in the Supreme Court or for such other disposition as they may see fit to make of them.
