March 19, 1897.) .
Appeal—Notice—Who Entitled to.
Notice of appeal from an order of interpleader must be served on the defendants who were brought in by the order.
Appeal from special term, New York county.
Action by John M. Bemis and others against Collis P. Huntington. From an order of interpleader, plaintiffs appeal. Dismissed.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We do not see how the appeal in this action can be entertained upon the notice of appeal as served. The notice of motion was addressed to the parties who had made claims upon the defendant, and some of these parties appeared in court, as is shown by the order from which the appeal is attempted to be taken. These parties, by virtue of this order, acquired certain rights; and it is sought to deprive them of those rights by the appeal taken herein. No notice of appeal has been served upon them, although they had become parties to the proceeding. The court cannot deprive them of the rights which they had secured, upon an appeal to which they are not parties.
The appeal should be dismissed, with $10 costs and disbursements.
