The Palmyra
delivered the opinion of the Court.
The Court has had the question submitted in this cause under, сonsideration, and -is of opinion, that the appeal is not wеll taken. The decree of the Circuit Court, was not final in the sense of the act of Congress. Thе damages remain undisposed of and aitappeal may still lie *504 upon that part of the decree awarding damages. The whole cause is not, thеrefore, finally detеrmined in the Circuit Court ; and we are of opiniоn that the cause cannot be divided, so аs to bring up successively distinct parts of it.
The case in 3 Cranch, 179. is essentially different. In that cаse, which was an. appeal in an equity cause, there was a decree of fоreclosure and sаle of the mortgaged property. The sаle could, only be оrdered after an account taken, or the sum due on the mortgage ascertained in some other way; аnd the usual decree is, that unless the defendant shall pay that sum in a given time, the estate shall be sold. The decree of sale therеfore is, in such a cаse, final upon the rights of the parties in controversy, and leavеs, ministerial duties only to be performed.
Appeal dismissed. a
