    Bill in interpleader by George C. Schrieder, executor of the last will and testament of Emilie Schrieder, deceased, against Theresa Doeslaere and Gertrude Schrieder to determine which, by assignment, was entitled to the distributive share of William A.

The court adjudged the sum to Gertrude Schrieder and further imposed the cost^ for filing the bill and fifty dollars for the solicitor’s fees of the complainant upon the unsuccessful claimant.

    Abstract of the Decision.
    Intebpleadeb, § 19
      
      —when attorney’s fee improperly allowed. A decree in interpleader allowing complainant a solicitor’s fee out of the fund, and on final hearing of the cause charging it against the unsuccessful claimant, is erroneous.
