    Appeal from Kings County Court.
    Action by Minnie Dahl against Samuel Levenberg. From an order granting an interlocutory judgment, overruling demurrer to the complaint, defendant appeals. Reversed, and demurrer sustained, with leave.
    Argued before JENKS, P. J., and THOMAS, CARR, MILLS, and RICH, JJ.
    Max Schleimer, of New York City, for appellant.
    Louis J. Halbert, of Brooklyn, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

No final judgment has been entered, but if, in view of the stipulation of the parties, the order may be deemed such, it should be reversed, without costs; and the demurrer sustained, with leave to plead over on payment of costs. There should be united as plaintiffs all the owners of the mortgage, including the personal representatives of any who may have died. If the consent of any one of such persons cannot be obtained, he may be made a defendant, “the reason therefor being stated in the complaint.”

The complaint is also defective on account of the failure to observe the requirement of section 1629 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
