Court of Session Inner House First Division.
Facts:
In a petition under the Presumption of Life Limitation (Scotland) Act of 1881, presented by a brother of the absentee, praying for authority to make up a title to his share of the absentee's interest in their father's estate, after the proof had been led certain other members of the family compeared by minute at the diet appointed for hearing the petitioner upon the evidence, and craved the Court to sist them as parties to the petition, and to conjoin them as petitioners therein for their interest in the succession of the absentee. The Court sisted the minuters, and on hearing counsel granted authority to the whole parties, both petitioners and minuters, to make up titles to their respective proportions of the share of the absentee in the same manner as if he had been dead.
