This court has no jurisdiction of controversies involving freeholds.

[Opinion filed January 16, 1891.]

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. M. F. Tuley, Judge, presiding.

Mr. George W. Warvelle, for appellant.

Mr. Benjamin F. Richolson, for, appellee.

Waterman, J.

In this case there was a decree divesting appellant of his homestead right in land to certain premises in the city of Chicago; from this decree he appeals.

A homestead is a freehold, and the right thereto being involved in this case, this court is without jurisdiction to hear the appeal. Magoon v. Magoon, 15 Ill. App. 629; Snell v. Snell, 123 Ill. 403.

Appeal dismissed.
