Action by George Peck and others against Ira F. Peck. Judgment for defendant, and plaintiffs appeal. Affirmed. [80 P. 1064]

BAILEY, J.
This action was instituted by George Peck and a number of stockholders of the Mono Mining, Milling & Prospecting Company against Ira F. Peck, the appellee herein. The action was brought for an accounting of the moneys alleged to have been received and disbursed by the defendant as president of the company. The matter was referred, and the referee duly made his report and findings in favor of the plaintiffs. Upon the filing of the referee's report the defendant filed written objections thereto, and moved for a new trial. These objections, in part and in so far as it is necessary to consider them, are as follows: '(1) The facts set out in the complaint are insufficient to constitute a cause of action.'

'(15) That the referee has no power, jurisdiction, or authority to take the evidence or report the findings, judgment, or decree to be entered in this case, for the reason that the Mono Mining, Milling & Prospecting Company is not a party to the action, and there is no reason alleged in the bill or shown in the testimony why it was not made a party.' Upon the hearing of this motion it was by the court 'ordered and decreed that the findings and conclusions of the referee be set aside, and that the bill of complaint of the plaintiffs be dismissed, and defendant recover his costs.' Plaintiffs then moved to amend the complaint by introducing as a party therein the Mono Mining, Milling & Prospecting Company. This application was denied, and the action was brought to the Court of Appeals by the plaintiffs upon appeal, and has been transferred to this court.
It is unnecessary for the court to determine whether or not the allegations of the complaint allege a sufficient reason for not...
