FRANCIS vs. HAZLERIGG’S ex’rs.
    
      April 16th.
    A circuit court may injoin a ’ judgment of the court oiappeak.
    FRANCIS having had a judgment for costs in this court, on reversing a decree obtained against him by Hazlerigg’s executors, in Clark circuit court, (See ante 48) issued his execution thereon ; which was replevied. He afterwards issued an execution on the replevy bond, which was returned, “Stayed by injunction.”
    
      Littell, for the plaintiff,
    moved for the court to direct their clerk to issue another execution on the replevy bond, notwithstanding said return ; stating that no injunction had issued from this court; and insisting that an inferior court could not injoina judgment of thiscourt.
    
      Clay, for the defendant.
    — -This court does not possess original jurisdiction. If. the defendant has paid the amount of a judgment of this court, or has other matter of equity, and the plaintiff still proceeds with his execution, this court cannot give relief, by sustaining a bill in chancery and granting an injunction.
    If this court has not the power to interfere, the circuit courts must have ; for the party injured must have a remedy where he has a right. If the circuit court improperly interfere, this court must correct their decision in the usual mode, on a writ of error or appeal.
   By the Court.

— rCases may exist, in which it may be proper for a circuit court to injoin a judgment of this court: we cannot decide that they have improperly done so, until the cause is regularly brought before us by writ of errqr or appeal.-rMotion overruled.
