““The provision requiring other parties to be brought in, where a complete determination of the controversy cannot be had without their presence, has been held to apply to cases ‘where there are other persons not parties whose- rights must be ascertained and settled, before the rights of the parties to the suit can be determined.’ McMahon v. Allen, 12 How. Pr. 39, 45 . This has reference to the necessary parties to the action; that is, to such parties as are indispensable.””
