(City Court of New York, General Term.
February 7, 1898.)
Security eor Costs.
Code Civ. Proc. § 452, providing that the court must direct the bringing in of any party interested in the subject of the action, is mandatory, and Interveners are not required to furnish security for costs.

Reversed.
Argued before FITZSIMONS, P. J., and O’DWYER, J.
Tracy, Boardman & Platt, for appellants.
H. A. Joseph, for respondent.

Opinion:
O'DWYER, J.
The right of the appellants to be brought in as
parties defendant is absolute, and, this being so, the court cannot require security for costs as a condition for granting such right. Uhlfelder v. Tamsen (City Ct. N. Y.) 40 N. Y. Supp. 372. It follows that that part .of the order appealed from should be reversed, with costs.
