A suit against an administrator hy the State to recover escheated property is not such a proceeding as entitles the administrators to appeal without hond.
Appeal from Orange. Tried below before the Hon. William Chambers.
This was a suit by the State, brought October 21', 1871; against the administrator of Constance Le Ferue, to recover property escheated to the State. On the trial, the plaintiff recovered judgment for $600-against the administrator and the sureties on his bond, and the administrator alone undertook to appeal without giving bond.
No brief for the appellant has been furnished to the Reporters.
Wm. Alexander, Attorney-General, for the appellee.

Opinion:
Walker, J.
This is an attempt on the part of an administrator to appeal a case-to this> court, for himself and! several others, which does not come within the rule of law allowing executors and administrators to appeal without giving bond.
Having no jurisdiction, it is dismissed.
Dismissed.
