A leasehold estate conferring the right to mine, dig and carry away coal, is a chattel real, and a levy thereon upon a fieri facias by the sheriff as the property of the defendant, involves him in no responsibility to others; hence in such case he is not entitled to demand an issue under the Interpleader Act.</p>
