## Opinion text

Per Curiam.
Tbe defendant appealed from an order of tbe court below making additional parties defendant. Tbe power of tbe judge to make additional parties to an action is well settled, and it does not appear that tbe order appealed from will change tbe cause of action or work injustice to tbe appellant.
Tillery v. Candler,
118 N. C., 888 , 24 S. E., 709 ;
Mills v. Callahan,
126 N. C., 756 , 36 S. E., 164 ;
Bernard v. Shemwell,
139 N. C., 446 , 52 S. E., 64 ;

Barbee v. Cannady,
191 N. C., 529 , 132 S. E., 281 ;
Wilmington v. Board of Education,
210 N. C., 197 , 185 S. E., 767 .
As was said in
Bernard v. Shemwell, supra,
“It can very rarely happen that making an additional party will be a serious prejudice, and hence such orders are usually discretionary and not reviewable.”
Appeal dismissed.
