The Guardian Trust Company of New York, Plaintiff, v. Rose W. Straus, Individually, Etc., and as Executrix of the Will of Louis Straus, Deceased, Defendant.

    December, 1909.)
    Appearance — Authority or right to appear — In general — Appearance of two plaintiffs by different attorneys.
    Parties — Bringing in new parties — New plaintiff appearing by different attorney.
    There cannot be two plaintiffs to an action, each appearing by a different attorney and setting up separate claims.
    Motion by a person not a party to the action to he brought in and to be made a party plaintiff.
    
      Steele, Otis & Hall, for plaintiff.
    Ellison, MacIntyre & Davis, for defendant.
   Truax, J.

I do not understand this motion. There cannot be two plaintiffs to an action, each appearing by a different attorney, and each setting up separate claims; but, under the prayer for other and further relief, the moving party may be made a party defendant, and the summons and complaint may be amended in that respect. If the moving party has a claim against one of the defendants it may set up that claim in its answer in the method provided by the Code.

Ordered accordingly.
