Syllabus

<p>1. A decree is final in the sense of the rule, which finally ad- ' pudicates upon all the merits of the controversy, and leaves nothing further to be done, but the execution of it.</p> <p>2., When the decree decides the right to the property in contest and directs it to be delivered up by the defendant to the ' complainant, or directs it to be sold, or directs the defendant to pay a certain sum of money to the complainant, and the complainant is entitled to have such decree carried immediately into execution, the decree must be regarded.as a final one to that extent, although the bill is retained for the purpose of adjusting, by further decree, the accounts between the parties or some of them.</p> <p>3. When a final decree has been rendered in a cause, an appeal from an order rendered subsequently to such decree does not .bring the final decree before the court for reviewal, and only such assignments of error will be considered as relate to and are based upon such subsequent order, and when such assignments cannot be intelligently passed upon without reviewing the final decree, the subsequent order appealed from will be affirmed.</p>
