Per Curiam,

This appeal is from the decree dismissing the bill, at plaintiffs’ costs, for want ‍​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌‍of jurisdiction.

After referring to the material facts and fully considering the question of jurisdiction raised by the answers of some of the defendants, the learned president of the ‍​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌‍common pleas came to the conclusion that if the plaintiffs have a good cause of action, arising out of the averments of fact set forth in the bill, ‍​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌‍their remedy is not in equity, but at law, by a writ of quo warranto; and he accordingly dismissed the bill.

For reasons fullystated by him,-we are not only ‍​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌‍satisfied that this conclusion is correct, but we also think there is nothing in the specifications of error that requires further discussion.

The decree is therefore affirmed on his ‍​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌‍opinion, sent up with the record, and the appeal is dismissed at appellants’ costs.
