We have repeatedly ruled that under such circumstances, when a part of the issues or mat*652ters in dispute are passed on, and others material to a disposition of the cause, left open, an appeal was premature and would not be entertained. The cases are numerous to this effect and we are content to refer to some of them. Hines v. Hines, 84 N. C., 122; Commissioners v. Satchwell, 88 N. C., 1; Jones v. Call, 89 N. C., 188; Grant v.
