Syllabus

<p>1. Appeal — Appealable Interest — Dismissal.</p> <p>Where an attorney for a litigant moves, as such attorney, for an appeal from a judgment against his client, but alleges error to the prejudice of the “mover,” and prays that he (“mover”) be allowed an appeal, and the order, prepared by him, grants the appeal to the “mover,” and it is not pretended that such attorney has any appealable interest, the appeal will be dismissed.</p> <p>2. Same — Absence oe Parties.</p> <p>This court is obliged to notice, of its own motion, the absence of proper parties, since it has no authority to adjudicate the rights of persons who are not before it.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For cases in point, see Cent. Dig. vol. 3, Appeal and Error, § 3140.]</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
