THE CHAPPELL CHEMICAL AND FERTILIZER CO. vs. THE SULPHUR MINES CO. et al.
    
      Dismissal of Appeal Prematurely Taken.
    
    Appeal from the Superior Court of Baltimore City.
    
      Dismissed.
    
    
      filed December 3rd, 1896.
    The defendant below, now appellant, pleaded the general issue to plaintiff’s declaration, and since neither party demanded a jury trial, the case was put upon the docket of non-jury cases in accordance with the rules of the common law Courts of Baltimore City. Long after the time within which a jury trial could be demanded, the defendant filed a demand for the same. The Court below passed an order assigning the case for trial and defendant appealed. Held, that the appeal must be dismissed, the same having been taken before any final judgment and before defendant’s motion for a juiy trial had been disposed of.
    
      Barton & Wilmer for the appellees.
