The question whether an adjudication is an order or decree is to be tested not by general principles, but by the expressions of the Code, and those words are to be construed in their plain and obvious sense." The learned Judge further held at p. 835: "Here the position was that the plaintiff had got a decree as against the defendants in respect of a certain share; one of the defendants viz., the defendant No. 1, had preferred the appeal; excepting the question as to whether the appeal was maintainable in the absence of the minors, the heirs of the defendants No. 6, no other question was gone into, and in fact none could be litigated, and that is more important is what the rights of the defendant 390 No. 4 were as against the plaintiff or whether the ex parte decree passed against him was a good or valid one, or whether it should stand at all, could scarcely be determined in that appeal.
