1Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

This is an appeal by an executor from a decree directing him to make return to the court of an order of sale of real estate for payment of debts, granted upon his application, and upon due confirmation of the sale, to execute and deliver to the purchaser a proper deed of the premises.

As it appears by the record that the real estate was sold for less than $1,500, there is no doubt that the appeal, if one lies at all at the time, was properly taken to this court.

But it is objected that the decree is interlocutory, and the appellee, the purchaser at the sale, moved to quash the appeal…
