On Rehearing.

LAND, J.

The judgment below rejected the demands of the two plaintiffs with costs, and awarded the fund to O. B. Law. D. E. Corbitt appealed. Morris Jouvenat, the other plaintiff, has not appealed. A judgment cannot be amended as between coappellees. Fields v. Creditors, 11 La. Ann. 545; Converse, Kennett & Co. v. Steamer Lucy Robinson, 15 La. Ann. 433; Lallande v. McRae, 16 La. Ann. 195; Porche v. Lang, 16 La. Ann. 312; Succession of De Egana, 18 La. Ann. 265; Jamison v. Barrelli, 20 La. Ann. 452. Hence the judgment below should not have been disturbed as between Jouvenat and Law.
