The original bill in the court beloAV Avas exhibited by the appellant against the appellee, setting forth in substance that the appellant A\Tas in possession of certain land under a valid lease thereto from a former oAvner thereof, from whom the appellee purchased the land Avith notice of the appellant’s lease; that the appellee Avas demanding possession of the land, and was threatening to resort to proceedings at law to evict the appellant therefrom; and prayed that he be enjoined from so doing. The appellee ansAvered this bill, denying the appellant’s right to the possession of the land, setting up his title thereto by a cross-bill, and prayed that the appellant’s claim to possession of the land be canceled, that the appellee be decreed to be entitled to the immediate possession thereof, and that such process as might be necessary to put him in possession be issued.

There was a decree accordingly, in Avhicli the injunction theretofore granted wTas dissolved.
