Syllabus

<p>Practice, O. C. — Citation to file an account.</p> <p>The proper practice is, where a person who is not a creditor obtains a citation, to answer it, denying that the petitioner is a creditor. This at once challenges his position as such and unless he can make out a primafacie claim, it is the duty of the court to dismiss his petition.</p> <p>Appeals — Jurisdiction, Superior Court — Definitive decree.</p> <p>The appellate courts cannot take jurisdiction until a definitive sentence or decree has been entered; and a decree of the orphans’ court citing an executor to file an account is an interlocutory decree from which no appeal lies.</p>
