On Petition for Rehearing.

Per Curiam.

We construe the language of the final decree to mean that the chancellor found that there was no fraud in the procuring of the contracts, copies of which are attached to the amended bill as Exhibits 1, 2 and 3 respectively and made a part thereof, as shown by the transcript. The chancellor expressly declined to make any finding as to whether or not there had been any breach of the contract by Bird M. Robinson which might entitle appellant, who was plaintiff in the court below, to recover damages against Robinson, and declined to enter a money judgment in favor of appellant. The rule is well settled in this jurisdiction that in order to authorize a court of equity to retain jurisdiction and grant a purely legal remedy, such as a judgment for monetary damages for breach of contract, some substantial ground' of equitable jurisdiction must be both alleged and proven.

Rehearing denied.
