Morton, C. J.

We are of opinion that the court has no jurisdiction of these ‍​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‍cases. There, has been no final judgment in the Superior Court in either case. Boyce v. Wheeler, ante, 554, and cases cited.

The judgment of the Superior Court in each case is ‍​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‍that the petitioner is entitled to have assigned to her the real estate, or her interest therein, according to her petition. It is in its nature like ‍​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‍the interlocutory judgment for partition, and must be followed by other proceedings before the case is ready for final judgment. Gen. Sts. c. 90, §§ 3, 5, 15, 17. ‍​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‍Pub. Sts. c. 124, §§ 10, 11, 17. St. 1880, a. 211, § 2.

Commissioners to assign to her the land, or her interest therein, must be appointed, and, until their report and its ‍​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‍acceptance by the court, there can be no final disposition of the case.

Appeals dismissed.
