   OPINION OF

THE COURT.

This is a bill praying an injunction, to which a demurrer was filed. The demurrer of course must be decided, before a motion for the injunction can be heard. There is no sufficient averment of the citizenship of the complainant, and this being apparent on the face of the bill, the demurrer is sustained. Leave was given to amend the bill.

THE COURT gave time to the defendants [Driggs & Cargill] to put in a voluntary, answer, and to file affidavits.
