Interpleader Nature and extent of the rem-f edy. A bill of interpleader is a bill filed for the protection of a person from whom several persons claim legally and equitably the same thing, debt or duty, but who has incurred no independent liability to any of them, and does not himself claim an interest in the matter.1 The ground of jurisdiction is the apprehension of danger to the person seeking the rem edy, from doubtful and conflicting claims, and the only relief to which he is entitled is to have liberty to pay the money to the persons entitled to it.'
