1Opinion of the Court

MR. JUSTICE CASTLES:

This is an appeal by defendant from a judgment on a verdict for plaintiffs after defendant was nonsuited on her amended cross-complaint. Her motion for a new trial was denied. The action is founded in claim and delivery. The dispute is between rival claimants, designated “friends” of the insured and successively named beneficiaries in a group life insurance contract. Except for this designation, neither plaintiffs nor defendant *286would have an insurable interest. The contest is solely for possession of the group certificate. Defendant claims her interest is vested.
