The Chase National Bank of the City of New York (Successor to Interstate Trust Company by Merger and Consolidation), as Trustee of the Trust Created by Deed of Trust of James Speyer Dated February 15, 1923, Plaintiff, Respondent, v. Giulio von Kageneck, Individually and as One of the Heirs, if Such He Be, of Marie Schwabach von Kageneck, Deceased, Ellin Yvonne von Kageneck, Individually and as One of the Heirs, if Such She Be, of Marie Schwabach von Kageneck, Deceased, Franz von Kageneck, Individually and as One of the Heirs, if Such He Be, of Marie Schwabach von Kageneck, Deceased, Appellants, and Others, Defendants; William F. Bleakley, as Guardian ad Litem for Infants, etc., and James Speyer, Defendants, Respondents.

Action by a trustee for a judicial settlement of its accounts. Order granting plaintiff-respondent’s motion and dropping appellant Franz von Kageneck as a party defendant, affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, payable to plaintiff-respondent by appellant Franz von Kageneck personally. No opinion. The foregoing decision makes it unnecessary to review the intermediate orders enumerated in appellant Franz von Kageneek’s notice of appeal Appeal from order denying motion of appellants Giulio von Kageneck and Ellin Yvonne von Kageneck to vacate appointment of guardian ad litem for said appellants dismissed, without costs. The guardian ad litem having resigned, the question is academic. The dismissal, however, is without prejudice to the right of the succeeding guardian ad litem, when appointed, to reopen the hearings before the referee and to take such steps as he may be advised are necessary to protect the rights and interests of
