   KANE, J.

This cause comes on to be heard upon the suggestion of the de~ath of tile appellant and motion to dismiss appeal filed by her attorneys of record. The motion is accompanied by a showing to the effect that the appeal was tahen from an or-dei of the trial court appointing a guardian of the person and estate of the appellant; that after the said appeal was prosecuted to this court the appellant died, and thereafter her former guardian was appointed as her executor; that up to the time of the death of tile appellant her estate was in the ban~lS of P. M. Ford as guardian, and that it is now in the hands of P. M. Ford as ~xecutor.

In these circumstances the question pre~ seated for review has become moot and hypothetical, and the motion to dismiss must theref&re bej sustained.

All the Justices concur.
