TUTHILL et al. v. FORBES et al.
(No. 6322.)
(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department.

Costs (§ 131*) — Action in Forma Pauperis.
The mere fact that one of several plaintiffs is indigent does not justify an order permitting him to sue as a poor person.
[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Costs, Cent. Dig. §§ 500-502; Dec. Dig. § 131.*] .
Appeal from Special Term, New York County.
Action by Frank H. Tuthill and others against Margaret E. Forbes and others. From an order granting one plaintiff leave to sue as a poor person, defendants appeal.
Order reversed, and motion denied.
See, also, 161 App. Div. 932, 146 N. Y. Supp. 1115.
Argued before INGRAHAM, P. J„ and CLARKE, SCOTT, DOW-LING, and HOTCHKISS, JJ.
W. L. Cannon, of New York City, for appellants.
E. P. Kilroe, of New York City, for respondent.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The mere fact that one of several plaintiffs is indigent is not sufficient to justify an order permitting him to sue as a poor person. The fact that the cause is not yet at issue seems to be due solely to the difficulty which the plaintiffs have found in drawing a complaint which is proof against demurrer.
Order reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and motion denied.
