delivered the opinion of the court.

The plaintiff filed Ms bill in the circuit' court of Benton county, Indiana, sitting in chancery, to obtain a decree to cancel a mortgage and the mortgage note, and also to restrain,, by injunction, the mortgagee from proceeding upon the power of sale contained in the mortgage until the final hearing, and from thence perpetually.

A temporary injunction was granted in vacation upon the usual conditions, which was dissolved, on the coming in of the answers Upon the motion of the defendants, by the circuit court.

From the order dissolving the; injunction there was an appeal to the supreme court of Indiana, where, after argument, the decree .of the circuit court was .affirmed. Upon tMs decree this writ of error is prosecuted.

This court has repeatedly decided that a decree upon a motion .to dissolve an injunction in the course of a chancery cause, and where the bill is hot finally disposed of, is not such a final decree as can be reexamined in this court, under the terms of the 25th section of the judiciary act of the 24th September, 1789. McCollum v. Eager, 2 How. 61; Gibbons v. Ogden, 6 Wheat. 448.

The writ of error is dismissed.
