Va, Brofman, Burger 6 Co. and the Sterling Dynamite company. Watts Coal and Iron company, the Bank of Warrior ct al. are respondents to the bill.
 The bill claims that the Watts Coal and Iron company are indebted to complain ants. Also it is stated that the Watts company confessed judgment for $5570 in the city court in favor of the Bank of Warrior, and that an execution was sued out on the commiSsary stock and other goods of the Watts company in favor of the judgment creditor, the Bank of War rior, who bought the property levied on for $2500 at the sheriff's sale. Complain- ants urge that the judgment and sale were wrongfully made in view of the al- legged existence of an agreement between the Bank of Warrior and the Watts Coal and Iron company, stipulating that the former would lend the latter money to continue business. Compliments ask that the Bank of Warrior be created trustee ''in invitum," and that the prop erty be sold and subjected to complain ants claim
