124 HUGHES V. ROPER. [Tyler Term,
Argument for the appellants.
Parties, ch. 1, sec. 1, p. 11; Story's Eq. Plead., sec. 76a;
Robson v. Osborn, 13 Tex., 299, 305.) And all parties in
interest to be affected in any way by the decree or judgment
sought, if known, ought to be made parties defendant
or plaintiff in the suit. (Denison v. League, 16 Tex.,408;
Allison v. Shilling, 27 Tex., 450.)

of his judgment. And the judgment of the court
undertakes to annul the conveyance from Reece Hughes,

and without any proof of fraud in the conveyance. But
it does not attempt to annul or impair the force and effect
of the conveyance from W. P. and Reece Huglles, jun.,
to the four minors of three-fourths of this same property.
And while the judgment leaves three-fourths of this property
with the legal and equitable title in these minors, it at

to satisfy Roper's judgment. A court of equity surely can
