Opinion filed March 10, 1899.

Per Curiam.

This was a proceeding in the Circuit Court of St. Clair County for a writ of mandamus to compel appellee, as master in chancery, to execute and deliver to appellant a deed to certain real estate.

We are of opinion that under the facts in issue in this case, a freehold is involved, and therefore this court has no jurisdiction.

. Appeal dismissed. Leave to parties to withdraw record, abstracts and briefs.
