Knight filed his petition for interpleader against Alice Jackson as administratrix of Mary Knight, and Kate Penland as guardian of Marvin Penland, both of whom claimed certain funds in his hands. On presentation of the petition the judge passed an order calling upon the defendants to show cause why the relief sought in the petition should not be granted to the petitioner. To this petition the administratrix demurred, and the guardian answered. In her answer the guardian alleged that her ward was entitled to the fund in question, it having been given to him by the intestate of the administratrix in her lifetime, by placing the same with the petitioner in trust for her said ward and to be delivered to him when he reached his majority, or to be delivered to his guardian for him as soon as one should qualify. She prayed that an order be granted allowing said petition of interpleader, and that upon the trial she have judgment awarding to her for the use of her ward said fund. The trial judge passed no order directing an interpleader between the defendants. The court sustained the
Writ of error dismissed.
