Before the amendment was made, a copy of the judgment was filed in the Probate Court as a proof of the claim of the plaintiffs in the judgment against the estate of Warren Springer. After the judgment was amended the claimants were given leave to file an amendment to their proof of claim as of the date of filing such claim. From this order an appeal was taken by the executrix of the will of Warren Springer to the Circuit Court, where the order appealed from was “confirmed” and leave given to file as an amendment to their proof of claim filed in the Probate Court, a copy of the order amending the judgment. From this order and judgment, the executrix appeals. See Springer v. DeWolf, post, p. 60.
