APPEAL from the Sixth District Court for the parish of Orleans. Saucier', J".
Thos. Hunton for Appellants.
•A. Robert and W. W. Howe for Plaintiffs and Appellees:
WháfO a third party interested appeals, and does not cite the defendant in the suit, the appeal will be dismissed.
Where an appeal is taken by a third party interested, he must cite both plaintiff and defendant in the suit, otherwise the appeal will be dismissed for want of proper parties.

Opinion:
On Motion to Dismiss.
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
Fenner, J.
This is an appeal by petition, by third persons, from a judgment to which they were not parties.
The failure to cite, or demand citation of, the defendant in the judgment is fatal to the appeal. This Court has no power to revise the judgments of inferior tribunals, where the parties' thereto are not before it.
State vs. Wickliffe, 21 An. 755. It is unnecessary to consider other grounds assigned in the motion to dismiss.
It is, therefore, ordered that this appeal be dismissed, at appellants' cost.
