In the Matter of the Estate of HENRY PICHOIR, Deceased.
Estates of Deceased Persons—Appeal from Decree of Distribution —Motion to Dismiss—Maturity of Appeal—Stipulation.—A motion to dismiss an appeal from a decree of distribution on the ground that the appeal is premature, the decree not having been entered when the appeal was taken, will be denied where the appellants have sighed a stipulation to the correctness of the transcript on the appeal which shows that the decree was entered before the appeal was taken.
MOTION to dismiss an appeal from a decree of the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco distributing the estate of a deceased person. J. V. Coffey, Judge.
The motion was made on the ground that the decree of distribution was not in fact entered when the appeal was taken. After decision of the motion a rehearing was granted thereupon. Further facts appear in the opinions of the court and in the concurring opinions.

Opinion:
McFARLAND, J.
Motion to dismiss appeal. For the reasons given in the opinion heretofore delivered on this motion {post, p. 700) the motion to dismiss the appeal from the order distributing the estate of the deceased must be denied. It appears that a certain stipulation of July 22,1901, printed in the transcript, which is copied in that opinion, was not signed by the attorneys for the appellants, the Moosers; but the attorneys of those appellants did sign a stipulation of that date, which is attached to the transcript in a type-written form, and is as follows : " It is hereby stipulated that the foregoing printed pages contain a full, true, and correct copy of the bill of exceptions, the petition for distribution of estate, the order distributing and assigning the residue of the estate, being the order appealed from, the notice of appeal, and of all papers used on the above petition for distribution of estate, in the court below, and that said printed pages are a full, true, and correct transcript of said papers. It is further certified that an undertaking on appeal in due form had been properly filed." The difference in the two stipulations does not affect the conclusion reached in the opinion.
The motion to dismiss the appeal is denied.
