Cole, J.

This is- an action brought by the minor heirs of Patrick Costello, ‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‍against the defendant, for the purpose of having an administratrix’s deed canceled, and declared null and void.

It is very apparent that the action is ‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‍one of equitable cognizance. It has been brought to this court by a writ of error. This is a mistake in the practice, as ‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‍this court has already in several-cases decided. Shannon v. The State, 18 Wis. 604; 13 id. 443; 7 id. 407. The party aggrieved by the judgment ‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‍of the court below should have appealed. As the case now . stands, we can only dismiss the writ of error, without looking into ‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‍the case upon the merits.

By the Court. — The writ of error is dismissed.
