        "text": "Mr. Justice Gary\ndelivered the opinion of the Court.\nThis is an appeal from an interlocutory order granting an injunction. The bill filed by the appellee sets out that the appellant is the surviving executor of the last will of David Whiting deceased; that the appellee is one of the beneficiaries under the will, and David T. Whiting, among others, is another; that under a power of attorney from the appellant, the appellee collected the money accruing to the estate under insurance policies, and that \u201c the equity title \u201d to it is in the beneficiaries under the will; that the appellant has sued the appellee at law to recover the money, and a judgment creditor of David T. Whiting has made the appellee a defendant to a creditor\u2019s bill filed against David T. Whiting.\nThe appellee prayed in his bill that the court would adjust the rights of all parties to the money, and enjoin the suits against him. He brought the money into court under leave of the court, and the injunction was ordered. There is no order for any further proceedings. This bill has no name.\nThe appellee says he prefers \u201c to consider it as a bill for the administration of a trust,\u201d but if on no other ground it \u201c should be sustained as a bill quia timet?\nWe regard it as an attempt to obtain the relief appropriate upon a bill of interpleader, without calling it such, because the case does not permit such a bill. If the case should proceed to an adjustment of the rights of all claimants, they would necessarily be required to contest in some method known to chancery. Bucklen v. Hasterlik, 51 Ill. App. 132.\nThat is no more nor less than interpleading.\n\u201c There is no interpleader between landlord and tenant or principal and agent.\u201d Marvin v. Elwood, 11 Paige 365.\nHere the appellee was the attorney in fact of the appellant.\nHe also claims an interest, which is a bar to his bill. Com. Bk. v. Newman, 55 Ill. App. 534; Wing v. Spaulding, 64 Vt. 83; 23 Atl. Rep. 615.\nSo far as the bill of the judgment creditor is concerned, the appellee needed no protection that he could not get in that suit, for the appellant was also a defendant to it. Badeau v. Rogers, 2 Paige 209.\nIf the appellee can show that part of the money is his, possibly he may have a defense pro tcmto at law, to the suit of the appellee. If not, and there is danger of loss of his share, he may have in equity. Lewis v. Lyons, 13 Ill. 117. But we are not called on now to express any opinion upon either of those questions. There being no foundation for the bill, there was no case for an injunction, and the bill not being capable of amendment, should be dismissed.\nThe statute is, that upon an appeal like this, the court \u201c shall direct such proceedings to be had in the court below as the justice of the case may require.\u201d\nThe order granting an injunction is reversed, and the cause remanded with directions to the Circuit Court to dissolve the injunction, return the money in court to the appellee, and dismiss the bill at his costs, thus placing the parties in statu, quo cmte bellum.",
