It i< in evidence that the owners of the Three Sisters were Philip Dean, John Dean and
Charlrs Smith. And the Ap tellants resuectfiiHy contend that by Law dll thiownns ojght to have
joined in thi* action and that the ariprllants muy avail theinselvc* of the objection uf the non^
joinder of one of them under the general i^sue.

The Court below however pronounced the following Judgment s
