Syllabus

<p>1. Appellate Jurisdiction—Appealable orders.—An order adjudicating the principles of a cause is one which so far determines the rules or methods by which the rights of the parties are to be'finally worked out; that it is only necessary to apply these rules or methods to the facts of the case, in order to ascertain the relative rights of the parties with regard to the subject matter of the suit.</p> <p>2. Idem—Overruling demurrer—Effect.—An order overruling demurrer to the bill is not appealable, as it does not adjudicate the principles of the cause, but merely declares that if the plaintiffs establish the case made in the bill, they may be entitled to the relief sought.</p>
