Nelms et al. v. Pinson et al.
    
    That the defendants (twenty-seven in number) intend and threaten, to put the stock law in force on a named future day in a certain militia district in pursuance of the declared result of a local election which the petitioners allege to be void, and will after that day take up and impound stock found running at large in the district, is no cause for injunction. There is no provision of law for attacking the validity of the election either directly or collaterally until some actual case arises which puts its validity in issue.
    April 3, 1893.
    Argued at the last term.
    Petition for injunction. Before Judge Bower. Dougherty county. At chambers, December 24, 1892.
    The petition prayed, among other things, for injunction commanding the defendants not to take up, impound, or in any wise interfere with the animals, stock or property of any of plaintiffs, under the stock law or any alleged rights based on an election which had been declared for “ no fence,” and which plaintiffs alleged was, for may reasons specified, illegal and fraudulent.
    Wooten & Wooten, for plaintiffs. Jesse W. Walters, by Harrison & Peeples, for defendants.
   Judgment affirmed.
