“the act by which a third party demands to be received as a party in a suit pending between other persons. The intervention is made for the pu rpose of being joined to the plaintiff, and to claim the same thing he does, or some other thing connected with it; or to join the defendant, and with him to oppose the claim of the plaintiff, which it is his interest to defeat. ... A stranger to a proceeding can have no interest, in a legal sense, in the claim asserted in a personal action unless he is a necessary party, in order adequately to enforce or to contest such claim.”
