Before QUA, C. J., and WILKINS, SPALDING, WILLIAMS and COUNIHAN, JJ.
RESCRIPT.
This is a suit in the Probate Court for a declaratory decree, G.L. (Ter.Ed.) c. 231A, inserted by St.1945, c. 582, § 1, by which the petitioner seeks to establish her ownership in certain bank books, bank accounts, and an automobile. It was referred to a master who filed a report. It comes here upon appeals by the respondent from an order of the judge (1) denying his motion to confirm the report; (2) allowing a motion of the petitioner to discharge the reference to the master and reject his report; and (3) holding the suit for further hearing by the court or by another master, to be subsequently appointed. These appeals are not properly before us for the reason that Rines v. Justices of Superior Court, 330 Mass. 368, 373, 113 N.E.2d 817, 820, and cases cited. The respondent urges us to consider these appeals on the basis of Slater v. Munroe, 313 Mass. 538, 48 N.E.2d 149. But in that case for special reasons, at the request of the parties, the appeal was considered on the merits and it was expressly stated that such action was not intended to establish a precedent.
Appeals dismissed.
