      McGuire, for the under-tutor, praying for the removal.
    
      Garrett, for the appellant.
   Simon, J.

This suit was instituted for the purpose of removing Elizabeth Ross from the tutorship of her granddaughter, Mary Melinda Wilds. Judgment was rendered below, depriving her of the tutorship, and she has taken this appeal.

It is clear, that the present appeal is now without any object, and that, under the circumstances, it should be dismissed at the costs' of the appellant.

Appeal dismissed.
