Appeal, No. 204, Jan. T., 1920, by defendant, from, order of C. P. No. 1, Phila. Co., March T., 1918, No. 4633, taking off nonsuit in case of Stanley Szmigel v. Director General of Railroads, United States Railroad Administration, operating the Philadelphia & Reading Railway. Trespass for personal injuries. Before Shoemaker, J. At the trial a compulsory nonsuit was entered. Subsequently the court made an order taking off the non-suit. Defendant appealed. Error assigned was the order of the court taking off the nonsuit and awarding a new trial.

1Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

The trial judge entered a nonsuit in this case, which the court subsequently took off. This is not reviewable as error, and the case will now proceed to a final disposition of it, from which an appeal will lie.

Appeal quashed.
