Baker & Brother vs. Burbage.
    A bill was filed to enjoin a trespass on land. Both parties had boxed trees on the land for the purpose of manufacturing turpentine. The complainant’s title rested on testimony of possession for many years and title from one Fort down to complainant, and some evidence of prior possession of late years, but no title was shown in Fort. The title of defendants was broken by a deed, which appears to have been successfully attacked for fraud. The evidence was conflicting, some of it going to show insolvency on the part of the defendants. The chancellor enjoined the defendants until the trial, and required complainant to give a bond to indemnify them for eventual condemnation money. He is solvent:
    
      Held, that this was a proper exercise of discretion.
    
      (a.) If the pleadings are not sufficient for the determination of all the questions in the case, including the question of damages, if any, to defendants, they may be amended.
    Judgment affirmed.
    January 26, 1886.
   Jackson, Chief Justice.
