Kaeir’s Estate.
Practice, Supreme Court — Appeals—Interlocutory order — Quashing appeal.
Where the orphans’ court dismisses exceptions to an account with a further order that a “decree of distribution be prepared in accordance with the views expressed in this opinion,” such order is merely interlocutory, and no appeal can be taken until the decree is absolutely confirmed.

Opinion:
Per Curiam,
After dismissing the exceptions to the account of the appellees, the order of the court was, "Let a decree of distribution be prepared in accordance with the views expressed in this opinion." Until such decree is absolutely confirmed there will be no final action by the court below from which an appeal will lie. What has been appealed from is merely interlocutory: Hoyt's Est., 232 Pa. 189.
Appeal quashed.
