    Cain v. Butler’s Administrators and Dillon’s Administrators.
    [ Chancery Jurisdiction Local.']
    
   Per CuriaM.

Butler had a note on Cain, which he assigned to Dillon, who sued Cain at law, and * recovered. Dillon and Butler dying, a bill in equity for an injunction was filed, and the injunction was granted. The bill alleges a failure of the consideration for which the note was given. The defendants pleaded their own residence and that of their intestates in the county of Davidson, the bill in equity against them being filed in this court.

The decision, in the case of Newnan v. Stewart, also in the case of Childress v. Perkins, Cooke’s Reports, 87, is upon this point. That was an injunction bill; Newnan was compelled to renew his suit in the first circuit. The case in 1 Cranch, 288, is opposed to this decision upon the ground, perhaps, that a circuit court of Virginia could not well punish the breach of an injunction issued to one who had a judgment at law in this State, and should disobey it by taking out execution. It is best for the sake of uniformity to follow our own decisions, founded upon our own acts of Assembly.

Ábate the bill.
