The defendant having a judgment against the plaintiffs, caused execution to issue and property to be seized, whereupon the plaintiffs obtained an injunction on various grounds, prohibiting the defendant and the sheriff “from executing or enforcing or attempting to enforce the writ of fieri facias issued out of” said court. Upon trial the injunction was made perpetual. An alias fieri faeias was issued and the plaintiffs took a rule to quash and annul the same, on the ground that the defendant had. been “perpetually injoined and prohibited from enforcing the said judgment in his favor,” by the aforesaid judgment in the injunction suit. This rule was dismissed and the plaintiffs appealed. They base their proceeding on the assertion that the word on, as copied in the record, is or in the original judgment in
Conceding that the word is or instead of on, we can not adopt the conclusion of the plain tiffs. They did not ask the judgment against them to be annulled, and the only question before the district judge in that proceeding was, in the language of the court, whether the writ of fieri facias, which issued therein, was authorized by the judgment. It is not denied, continued the judge, “that at some future time the judgment would warrant the writ; but it is contended that it was ■issued prematurely,” and be so held, saying, “I am of opinion the injunction must be perpetuated and the writ complained of be quashed.”
Construing the judgment, as we must do, with reference to the pleadings and questions before tho court, we are satisfied that the judgment was not injoined if it be permissible to in join a judgment and have it in vigor. The word or was evidently a clerical error, and the judge a- quo did not err in dismissing plaintiffs’ rule to quash the alias writ.
Judgment affirmed.
