Dismissal by a judge of the Superior Court of an appeal to it by the defendant in an action of summary process from a judgment of a District Court for the plaintiff for possession was not an order 'decisive of the case founded upon matter of law apparent on the record,' and an appeal to this court from the dismissal did not lie under G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 231, Section 96, where there was no surety on the bond given by the defendant under c. 239, Section 5, as appearing in St. 1946, c. 175, Section 1, on the appeal from the District Court and findings of fact were necessary to show whether or not the bond was 'secured by cash or its equivalent': such findings were not part of the record on the appeal to this court.
