Process – In a competition between two persons, claiming to be heirs to an estate, the inquest refused to retour either of them. One of the parties in an action of reduction and declarator, calls the other as a defender; a third claimant now craves to be admitted, as a defender in this action, stating himself to be in the same degree of propinquity with the other defender, which the pursuer acknowledged. The Court having refused to admit this third party as a defender in that action, the judgment is reversed, ex parte.
