   Pee Curiam.

1. The court did not err in overruling the demurrers of the Bank of Bethlehem, one of the plaintiffs in error; nor in overruling the demurrers of Georgia Farm Loan Company, another one of the plaintiffs in error. The latter company was properly made a party to the case.

2. The evidence upon the controlling issues of fact in this case was conflicting, and the court erred in directing a verdict. The issues referred to should have been 'submitted to the jury under proper instructions from the court.

All the Justices concur, except as stated beloiv.

Beck, P. J.

dissents from the ruling made in the first headnote, being of the opinion that no substantial equitable relief is sought against the other plaintiff in error, Georgia Farm Loan Company, so as to authorize the making of that company a party to the suit over the objections urged by that company, and that the court erred in overruling the demurrer filed by the loan company and making it a party to the case.

Gilbert and Hines, JJ., dissent from the ruling made in the second headnote.
