The issue, raised by a motion to dismiss, is whether insurance companies, which collectively have paid the whole loss sustained by the original plaintiffs herein as the result of a fire allegedly caused by the negligent act of the defendant, may, after the statute of limitations has run, be joined with the plaintiffs or be substituted for them in this action, to the end that the issue of liability for the fire may be determined.
