compel the chancellor at Birmingham to
allow him to be a party to the suit
brought by the South and North rail-
way directors for an accounting of the
operations of the same by the Louis
vile and Nashville.

nority stakeholder of the South and
North tried to have a receiver appoint
ed so that the rights of the minor cor
poration might be determined. The SIT
preme court denied the petition. but held
that he had a right to intervene in the
case brought in the chancery court of
Birmingham. This case, he had 1e-

higher court the chancellor had refused
to allow Mr.. Gray to intervene hence it
impossible to get at the matter save
by mandamus. as there is no appeal from
such a ruling. Some weeks ago a rule
