Hughers, Sr. vs. Chapman.
    The land court has no power to try a caveat to the issuing of a warrant or to the granting of land. The ordinary can only transmit the caveat, etc., to the superior court as an original case. Code, §2370. If he renders a judgment upon the caveat, and .the caveator appeals, and the appeal is transmitted, it should be dismissed, there being no provision of law for such a judgment, or for an appeal therefrom. . After the appeal is dismissed, the ordinary may still perform his duty in respect to an official transmission of the original case. The superior court should not consider the original case as before it in consequence of the transmission of the appeal.
    Cited in the argument: Code, §§2368-2370, 2375.
   Bleckley, Judge.
