90 F. 472 | 6th Cir. | 1898
This petition must be denied, because it does not appear therefrom that the persons who claim to be the beneficiaries and the real parties in interest in the cause of action are paupers, and unable to pay the ordinary costs of the proceeding in error. It is not sufficient, in a suit brought by one in a representative capacity, as is the case with such suits under the Tennessee statutes, to mafce it appear that in his representative capacity he has no funds with which to prosecute the suit. It must also appear that those persons who will enjoy the fruit of the litigation, and who are the real parties in interest, are also in such a condition of poverty that they cannot pay the costs of that which is done for their benefit. The application is therefore denied, without prejudice to its renewal, upon an affidavit which shall remedy the defect herein pointed out, within 30 days.
