(Judge Shauck, of the Second Circuit, taking the place of Judge Smith.)
WILLIAM MILLER ET AL. v. CINCINNATI (CITY).
Action to ■ Quiet Title, though Embracing Land Claimed by City as a Street, is Appealable.
A petition alleging possession in plaintiff of ground, part of which the city claims is part of a street, seeking to quiet title against the city, is not a petition to vacate such part of the street, but to quiet title and is appealable.
Motion to dismiss appeal.
Van Seggern, Phares & DeWald, for motion.
W. H. Whittaker, assistant corporation counsel, contra.

Opinion:
SHAUCK, J.
The petition in this case was not filed in the court below for the vacation of Sycamore street under sec. 2655 Rev. Stat. Such relief is not prayed for; nor are facts alleged to which such relief would be appropriate.
Plaintiffs allege that they are in possession of the several parcels of ground which the city claims as parts of Sycamore street; that the city never had title to such parcels for any purpose, and that if it had such title, it has been forfeited, and they pray that their title may be quieted as against the adverse title asserted by the city. In substance it is an action.to quiet title. Such actions are appeal-able. Motion overruled.
