An appeal does not lie from an interloctory order merely on the ground that one of the litigants may be pecuniarily prejudiced by such order.
The refusal of a Judge to order a party to give security for the costs of an action is an order from which no appeal lies, under Proclamation 14 of 1902, sec.22 or Rule 91.
