    / Pinkney Scott, of Bessemer, for appellants;
    The injunction was proper and should not have been dissolved. Rule 96, Code 1907, p. 1538; Gillespie v. Gibbs, 147 Ala. 454, 41 South. 868.

   SAYRE, J.

Complainants, appellants, filed the bill in this cause seeking to enjoin the collection of a judgment rendere'd against' them by the court of probate on the settlement of Catherine Boyd’s guardianship of the estate of George I-I. Boyd, a minor. Complainants were surties on the guardianship bond, and their áverment is, in substance, that, though the estate of the minor had been expended in his necessary and proper support and maintenance, the minor and his guardian, after the former had been relieved of the disabilities of nonage, colluded to bring about a fraudulent judgment in favor of the,ward against the guardian’s sureties; the guardian having removed without the jurisdiction of the court. Upon the presentation of complainants’ sworn bill to a judge of the circuit, a temporary injunction in accordance with the prayer of the bill was ordered, and then, after considerable delay, which followed the filing of the' sworn answer of the defendant George H. Boyd explicitly denying the-equities of the bill, the cause was brought to the attention of the court, whereupon a decree was entered, ordering the dissolution of the injunction upon defendants giving a refunding bond, as provided by section 4525 of the Code of 1907. The bond so ordered having been given, the, injunction, stood dissolved, and eom-.plainants have appealed.

There .was no error in what the court did; the eonrplainants suffered no injury; the decree must be affirmed. Dunham Lumber Co. v. Holt, 124 Ala. 336, 26 South. 663; Rice v. Tobias, 83 Ala. 348, 3 South. 670; Barnard v. Davis, 54 Ala. 565; Rogers v. Bradford, 29 Ala. 474.

We do not see that the, conclusion thus stated should be in any wise affected by the fact that defendant Catherine Boyd had not yet been brought into court. The judgment of the court of probate was in favor of the former minor, and it was the business of complainants to take necessary steps to bring the former guardian into court, and, in any event, complainants suffered no harm, as the cases cited, supra, abundantly show.

Affirmed.
