We find no. statutory authority for the interposition of a demurrer to a petition in a special proceeding to vacate an assessment for a local improvement. The demurrer was equivalent to a preliminary objection taken to the consideration,of the petition on the merits. The order appealed from does riot determine the rights of- the parties, and while it is probably irregular, no substantial right of the appellant will be affected until the final order contemplated .in the statute* is made. We think section 1356 of the Code of Civil Procedure does not authorize an appeal from this order. The appeal is dismissed, without costs. Hirschberg, P.
