Plaintiff appealed. The defendants filed exceptions to the report of the referee and demanded a jury trial. The plaintiff filed exceptions, but made no such demand. The defendants asked leave to withdraw their exceptions and demand for jury trial, and that the plaintiff's exceptions *Page 525 be heard. The plaintiff insisted that although he had not asked for a jury trial and had no exceptions which he desired submitted to the jury, yet, because defendants had made such demand and the plaintiff had consented to defendants having it, the court could not permit the withdrawal of either the exceptions or the demand for the jury, and insisted that, although he was satisfied with the findings of fact, the defendants having said they were not, they had to fight further, whether they so desired or not.
This is the whole case. The plaintiff withdrew his objection to the defendants' demand for a jury trial. If this had any effect it was against the plaintiff. It could not estop the defendants from withdrawing their exceptions or their demand for a jury trial.
The plaintiff, having excepted to the order permitting the defendants to withdraw their exceptions and their demand for a jury, insisted on an immediate appeal. His Honor properly ruled that no appeal lay from such order, but that the plaintiff could note his exception, which has now come up for review on this appeal from the final judgment. Clark's Code (3 Ed.), sec. 458, pp. 733, 734.
