   BY THE COURT.

A motion to dismiss the appeal in the above entitled case has been argued and submitted to the court. We have carefully considered the record and we are of the opinion that under the pleadings -the only litigated question in the court below was as to the cross petition. The cross petition, in our judgment, presented a case at law and not a case in equity. The defendant sought by answer and cross petition to recover damages by way of offset to the plaintiff’s claim, and for a personal judgment for the excess. This in our judgment, presents an issue at law to be tried to a jury. We are therefore of the opinion that the case was not appealable, and that the motion to dismiss the appeal should be sustained.

Appeal dismissed.
