JUDGMENT 1. A preliminary objection is raised whether the appeal was filed on behalf of the plaintiff. The plaintiff was dead, and the pleader was not, therefore, entitled to act for him under the vakalatnama in his favor. This may be so. But, in the circumstances of the case, we treat the appeal as having been properly filed when the present appellants, the plaintiffs representatives, were made parties to the appeal, and we excuse the delay under S5 of the Limitation Act. On the merits, no question of law arises on the facts found, and we, therefore, dismiss the second appeal with costs.
