¶1Defendant Baird having failed to plead to the complaint, his default was entered, and thereupon the following *643judgment or order was made and entered on November 28, 1891: “Now, on the application of the plaintiff, it is ordered that plaintiff have judgment against the defendant, that the defendant disclose to the plaintiff the kind and quality and quantity of the securities held by him through his dealings as broker for Mrs. Hannah Wittram, the daughter of Mrs. Margaret Clarke, deceased, concerning, the money appropriated by said Hannah Wittram of the estate of said Margaret Clarke, deceased, and the investments in which the said money and the proceeds thereof has been placed, and that the defendant account to the plaintiff for the whole and. every part thereof, and that plaintiff have judgment for said property and the whole and every part thereof, and for damages in addition thereto equal to the value of said property, as required by section 1460 of the Code of Civil Procedure.”
¶2On December 24, 1891, upon an affidavit filed by the attorney of Hannah Wittram, the court made an order vacating the default of defendant Baird, and granting leave to Hannah Wittram to file her complaint in intervention, which complaint the order recited was attached thereto, and from this order the plaintiff appeals.
¶3The complaint in the action against Baird is not contained in the record, but the judgment sufficiently discloses its character. The judgment, however, is not a final judgment, but an interlocutory one ordering an accounting. It did not find that he was indebted to the estate of Mrs. Clarke, but ordered that he disclose the kind, quality and quantity of securities held by him through his dealings with Mrs. Wittram, “concerning the money appropriated by said Hannah Wittram of the estate of Margaret Clarke, deceased, .... and that defendant account to the plaintiff for the whole and every part thereof.”
¶4No final judgment could have been properly entered against the defendant without further proceedings. It disclosed, however, that whatever securities the defendant had in his possession he received from Hannah Wittram, and no final judgment or order for the surrender of such securities, or moneys arising therefrom, to the plaintiff, could properly be made without the presence of Hannah Wittram as a party. What the plaintiff expected to accomplish by the proceeding without making her a party, it is difficult to conceive.
¶5*644The order was improvidently made, and was properly vacated upon the interest of Mrs. Wittram being called to the attention of the court.
¶6The objection that an intervention cannot be permitted after final judgment has no application here.
¶7Final judgment could not have been had in the action without her presence, and the plaintiff might properly have been ordered to make her a defendant. Besides, the so-called judgment was vacated, and the case stood as though no judgment had ever been entered at the time her complaint in intervention was filed.
¶8Ho affidavit of merits was required. Sufficient appeared upon the face of the order vacated to require its vacation, and to show that Mrs. AVittram’s intervention was proper.
¶9The order appealed from should be affirmed.
¶10Temple, C., and Belcher, C., concurred.
¶11For the reasons given in the foregoing opinion, the order appealed from is affirmed.
