Execution was issued on said judgment September 22, 1881, and returned December 22, 1881, no part satisfied. An alias execution issued January 27, 1882, upon which no demand was made, but levy thereunder was made on said block 74.\nThe property was advertised and sold by the sheriff to the attorney of Sherman & Marsh, on February 27, 1882, for 817.25, that being the whole amount of the execution and costs. The certificate of sale was assigned by the purchaser to one of the plaintiffs, a sheriff\u2019s deed was issued to such assignee, and whatever title (if any) passed t\u00f3 him- was vested in him when the assignment for benefit of their creditors was made by Sherman & Marsh.\nWe have no doubt whatever that the order appealed from involves a freehold, and therefore this court has no jurisdiction of the appeal.\nAppeal dismissed.",
