Syllabus

<p>Appeals — Supreme Court — Superior Court — Practice.</p> <p>The Supreme Court will exercise its jurisdiction to allow special appeals from the Superior Court sparingly and with great caution. Appeals will be allowed only in cases of peculiar gravity and general importance, and when the considerations are other than the mere desire or interest of the particular jaarties. The most obvious of these considerations are: the bearing of the question on public interest or rights, the importance of the decision as a precedent in frequently occurring litigation; diversity of opinion in other courts and consequent desirability of a final determination, and generally the preservation of uniformity in the application of legal principles.</p> <p>The Supreme Court will not review a decision of the Superior Court construing a will, where such decision raises no question which is of importance to any but the parties immediately interested.</p>
