      Partition: Decree: Final order: Appeal. A decree in a partition suit which fixes the respective rights of the parties, although it contains an order of reference to take an accounting as to rents and profit0, and to ascertain whether an actual partition is practicable, or whether a sale and distribution of proceeds is necessary, is such a final order or decree as is appealable under our statute.
    
      Heard October 14.
    
    
      Decided October 17.
