The case has not been dismissed in the court below, but stands ready for the plea of the defendant company and for trial. By a uniform line of decision, this court has held that an appeal will not lie from an order such as the one before us. The question here presented is purely a moot one, and the court will not stop to review it. The writ is dismissed, and it is so ordered. Dismissed.
