Ogden, J.

This suit was instituted by the suing out of ‍​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‍an injunction, to stay the collection of certain taxes. A motion was made to dissolve the injunction in vacation, and ‍​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‍the judge in vacation dissolved the injunction and dismissed the bill. This, according to the decision in Grant v. Chambers, 34 ‍​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‍Texas, was such an error as will require a reversal of the judgment.

There is no law giving judges of ‍​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‍the District Courts authority, in vacation or at chambers, to render final judgment in any cause pending in the District ‍​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‍Court.

The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
