1Opinion of the CourtPihney, J.

Appeals from orders made in actions in the circuit court can be taken only in cases specified by ch. 212, Laws of 1895, amendatory of sec. 3069, E. S. The order in this case is not within the category of orders specified in the act. If the order is reviewable, it can be reviewed only on appeal from a final judgment, under sec. 3070, E. S. For this reason this court has no jurisdiction, and the appeal must be dismissed.

By the Court.— The appeal is dismissed, with costs.
