Walters v. Pittsburgh & Lake Angeline Iron Co.
Michigan Supreme Court
Appeal from Marquette; Flannigan, J. Bill of interpleader by Thomas Walters against the Pittsburgh & Lake Angeline Iron Company and John Berriman and others to determine the title to a trust fund. From the decree rendered, certain defendants appeal.
1Opinion of the CourtOstrander, C. J.
The court is asked to announce the applicable rule for the distribution of the fund which is now in the hands of the plaintiff, who, because of conflicting claims to the fund, filed a bill of interpleader. Defendants have interpleaded. The interesting and principal question presented in argument by the appellants is answered when the relation of appellants to the fund is determined. If they are surviving members of an association, voluntary or involuntary, which owns the fund which is to be divided, their rights are determined by a principle not controlling if there is no association owner.
