OLOPTON, J.

The submission of this cause is accompanied by a motion to dismiss the appeal. The suit was instituted in the name of M. G. Stoudenmire as sole plaintiff, and apparently in his individual name and capacity. The death of the plaintiff having been suggested, appellant moved to amend the proceedings and complaint, so as to read, “M. G. Stoudenmire, a mercantile partnership composed of Morgan G. Stoudenmire and Moses J. Lee,” who is the appellant, and to-*549revive and continue the cause in his name as surviving partner. The court refused the motion, but made no order abating the suit, nor any other final disposition of it. If an order improperly abating it had been made, mandamus would be the proper remedy to compel the .allowance of an amendment improperly refused.—Ex parte S. & N. Ala. R. R. Co., 65 Ala. 599; The State, ex rel. Nabor's Heirs, 7 Ala. 459; Ex parte Swan, 23 Ala. 192. No final judgment having been rendered, an appeal does not lie.

The motion to dismiss the appeal must be granted.
