In re KOCH’S ESTATE.
    1. Estates op Decedents — Allowance to Widow — Appeal.
    An order of allowance to a widow pending the settlement of her husband’s estate is not appealable. Bordwell v. Saginaw Circuit Judge, 119 Mich. 421, followed.
    2. Same — Executor’s Appeal — Personal Liability por Costs.
    It being well settled that an order of allowance to a widow is not appealable, an executor who appeals from such an order, and who brings error from an order of the circuit court dismissing such appeal, renders himself personally liable for the costs of both courts.

      James H. Pound, for appellant.
    
      Lemuel H. Poster, for appellee.
   Per Curiam.

The appellant is executor and legatee of Eelix Koch, deceased. An allowance having been made by the probate court for the support of the widow, the appellant appealed to the circuit court. On motion the appeal was dismissed, and he has brought the case to this court by writ of error. It has been repeatedly held that there is no right of appeal from such an allowance, and the circuit court did not err in dismissing the appeal. Bordwell v. Saginaw Circuit Judge, 119 Mich. 421.

The order of dismissal is affirmed. Costs of both courts are granted against the appellant personally, the same not to be a charge upon the estate. 
      
       Rehearing denied April 3, 1900.
