That in the life-time of Frederick Frick, deceased, the school directors, by parol contract purchased the real estate in question of him and took possession under the purchase, made valuable improvements and paid the purchase money, and ask the court to compel conveyance and decree perpetual injunction against the prosecution of the ejectment suit, all of which relief the court by decree granted. A freehold estate being involved in this controversy, this court has no jurisdiction. The writ of error should have been sued out of the Supreme Court under Sec. 2, act concerning appeals. Laws 1879, p. 222. See Patterson v. McKinney, 6 Bradwell 394.\nThe writ of error is dismissed for want of prosecution.\nWrit dismissed.",
