The decree should be modified, so as to dismiss the bill without prejudice of the appellants to file a new or amended bill, making said parties not before dhe court on this appeal parties defendant to the bill. *307'The former judgment will be modified to the extent of •dismissing the bill without prejudice to the right of the .appellants to file a new bill, bringing -in all necessary parties.

So ordered.
