England, 221 N.C. 40, 19 S.E. 2d 10; Williams v. Johnson, 230 N.C. 338, 53 S.E. 2d 277. The court did not undertake to tax the costs. They are hereafter to be taxed. The appellant is not hurt by the order. Instead of directing that the required fund be paid out of the trust fund, the court had the power and authority to require each party to deposit out of his own pocket a ratable portion of the costs of the reference. It follows that the appellant\u2019s appeal is premature and must be dismissed.\nAppeal dismissed.",
