Rutherford v. Fisher ( 1800 )

Chase, Justice.

— In England, a writ of error may be brought upon an interlocutory decree or order; and until a decision is obtained upon the writ, the proceedings of the court below are stayed. But here, the words of the act, which allow a writ of error, allow it only in the case of a final judgment.

By the Court. — The writ must be quashed, with costs.
