Per Curiam.

The ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍decree below was entered September 6th 1869. The appeal is clearly barred by lapse of time. The ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍refusal of the court, May 19th 1879, and .again, February 14th 1880, to grant a rule to show ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍cause why the decree should not be revoked, was clearly not the subject of review by appeal ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍to this court. We cannot in this way decide whether this court had jurisdiction to enter the ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍original decree or did so upon sufficient evidence.
