Holding

The court held that a trustee who fails to object to the absence of necessary parties in a prior equitable action for an accounting cannot later attack the validity of that judgment in subsequent litigation when all beneficiaries are present and have accepted the prior decree, as the rule requiring all beneficiaries to be joined is for the trustee's protection and can be waived.
