Opinion
The People, ex rel. The Ulster & Delaware Railroad Company, Respondent, v. Charles Smith et al., Appellants.
An order of reference in proceedings by certiorari under the act of 1880 (Chap. 269, Laws of 1880), to review and correct an alleged illegal, erroneous or unequal assessment, or an order refusing to set aside such an order of reference, is not reviewable here; neither order is final, nor does it affect a substantial right, within the meaning of the Code of Civil Procedure, § 190.
(Argued May 3, 1881;
decided May 13, 1881.)

(Reported below, 24 Hun, 66.) Held, as above.
