delivered the opinion of the court.
The plaintiff is appellant from a judgment discharging a rule, taken on the clerk of the District Court, to show cause why he should not issue an alias execution against the defendants in this case.
The plaint iff had obtained a final judgment, against the defendants, David Rees and J. H. Thomas, his surety, which ordered that a tract of land belonging to Rees, and was mortgaged, should be first seized and sold to satisfy the debt for which judgment was rendered. An execution issued, and the sheriff returned, “ that Rees was dead and his estate insolvent, and administered in the Probate Court by his widow, under the benefit of an inventoiy, against whom no proceedings could be had under the writ of fi.fa“and that the land ordered to be seized was in the hands of a third possessor, who purchased it at sheriff’s sale under a former seizure.” On this return
We have often said, that whoever applies to us for the reversal of a judgment, must bring before this court all those who have an interest that it be sustained. We cannot pass on the rights of those to whom no opportunity has been afforded to be heard. In the present case, the only ap,pellee is the clerk of the District Court, who has nothing at stake and is without authority to represent those who have an interest to support the judgment. There not being proper parties before this court, the appeal cannot be sustained.
It is, therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the appeal be dismissed, with costs.
