Head Matter:
No. 4877.
Succession of Eugene Hacker. On Rule to set aside Order of Sale.
The administrator obtained an order to sell property upon terms ol one third cash and balance on one and two years credit, whereupon tho appellee, as holder oí a matured mortgage, note, by rule, caused the terms to be changed to cash, and from this action of tho court this appeal is taken. The motion to dismiss can not prevail.
The order is one from which an appeal may he taken. It is reasonable to infer that injury of an irreparable character may result in tho depreciation consequent upon a sale for cash instead of on terms of credit.
The proceeding to sell tho property in tho manner attempted was illegal, when the widow and heirs were put in possession by order of court tho succession of Eugene Hacker jvas closed. It was not therefore in the power of the court to reopen it. Tho appointment of an administrator was irregular, tho original order of sale was illegal, and the modification thereof in the judgment appealed from was likewise void, because the succession of Hacker was no longer under t-lie. jurisdiction of tho court.

Tlio administrator obtained an order to sell property on terms of one third cash and balance oil one and two years credit, whereupon the ap-pellee, as holder of a matured mortgage note, by rule caused the terms to be changed to cash, and from this action of tho court this appeal is taken.
We are of opinion that the order is one from which an appeal may be taken. It is reasonable to infer that injury of an irreparable character may result in the depreciation consequent upon a sale for cash instead of on terms of credit.
