Sweet v. Jeffries
Supreme Court of Missouri
Error to First District Court. The court did not err in permitting Breckenridge, Whitson and Maupin to become parties. They had an interest in the result of the suit. Their petition supplemental shows that they asked and obtained permission to be made parties, and certainly their petition shows interest. This practice is allowed by the statute. (Wagn. Stat. 1034, §§ 8, 4; 42 Mo’. 101; 2 Head, 289; 29 Mo. 429; 27 Mo. 227; 3 Conn. 537; 3 Barb.
