This appeal is from an order of the Circuit Court remanding the case to the magistrate for a new trial.

As this is not a case in which judgment absolute could be rendered by this Court, an appeal from an order granting a new trial will not be entertained. Lampley v. Atlantic Coast Line Ry., 77 S.C. 319, 57 S.E., 1104; Pace Co. v. Atlantic Coast Line Ry., 83 S.C. 33; DesChamps v. Atlantic Coast Line Ry, 83 S.C. 192; Dixon v. Seaboard A.L. Ry., 83 S.C. 393.

The appeal is, therefore, dismissed.
