    Frank J. Wende, Appellee, v. Michael Zimmer, Sheriff, et al., Eli S. Warner, Appellant.
    Gen. No. 20,714.
    (Not to be reported in full.)
    Interlocutory appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook county; the Hon. Thomas G. Windes, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court.
    Affirmed.
    Opinion filed November 19, 1914.
    
      Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Execution, § 120
      
      —right of third person to enjoin wrongful seizure and removal of his property. Where a sheriff and judgment creditor wrongfully levy an execution on the property of a person other than the judgment debtor, the owner of the property is not precluded from maintaining a hill to enjoin the removal of the property from his possession for the reason he has a remedy at law in an action for trespass or replevin, where trespass would afford him no remedy for the consequent injury to his business and his loss of prospective profits, and in replevin the determination of the real issue in the suit would require the production of the books of a company which would not be a party to the suit, and a subpoena duces tecum would be ineffective.
    
      Statement of the Case.
    Bill by Frank J. Wende against Michael Zimmer, sheriff, Eli S. Warner, August F. Osterlind, Louis Becker and Osterlind-Ford Company, a corporation, to restrain the sheriff and Warner from proceeding to enforce payment of a judgment obtained by said Warner against the Osterlind-Ford Company out of certain personal property claimed by complainant and levied on by said sheriff. To reverse an order granting an interlocutory injunction, defendant Warner appeals.
    The injunction was issued upon motion of 'complainant based solely upon his verified bill, after notice to the sheriff and said Warner, who were represented by counsel. No counter-affidavits were filed and no answer to the bill had been filed at the time the motion was heard and the preliminary injunction issued.
    Buell, Abbey & Williams, for appellant.

   Mr. Presiding Justice Fitch

delivered the opinion of the court.

2. Execution, § 122 —trial of right of property as precluding equitable relief. The proceeding in the County Court for the trial of the right of property is a purely statutory proceeding, and does not, in any event, oust a court of equity of jurisdiction.

3. Fraudulent conveyances, § 15 —validity of sales made in violation of Bulk Sales Act. Sales made in violation of the Bulk Sales Act of 1913 are not void, but only voidable as to creditors.
