J. O. Howell v. Sheriff of East Feliciana et als.
Plaintiff can not now be heard to contradict the allegations of his petition in regard to the ownership of the property in litigation, which he made in another controversy, nor can a witness be heard now to contradict the testimony which he then gave.
APPEAL from the Fifth Judicial District Court, parish of East Feliciana. Dewing, J.
D. O. Hardee, Gross & Fiphins, Bice <& WhitaJcer, for plaintiff and appellee. W. F. Eernan & Lyons, for defendants and appellants.

Opinion:
Morgan, J.
This is an injunction suit, instituted against the sheriff to restrain him from executing a writ which issued in the case of Riley v. Howell.
In that case (Riley v. Howell) we annulled the judgment on the ground of want of jurisdiction of the court which rendered it. If the judgment was a nullity, no execution could rightfully issue under it. The judgment of the district court, therefore, which maintained the injunction, is correct.
Judgment affirmed.
