Treat, L.,
{orally.) This is a demurrer to the bill. Some very important questions are involved in these cases, but they cannot be heard on demurrer at present. Both bills charge that judgment was improperly obtained, which, if it should so turn out to be the fact, plaintiffs will have the right to be heard in equity here. In the one case these parties plaintiff say they are the owners of a portion of the stock thus interfered with; in the other, that they are still on the stock books as the owners, though they have parted with the equitable title, and that they seek, by this bill, to protect the unknown holders of these certificates. This court has not been inclined to pass upon that question. The bill sets out an equity, which, if maintained by proper proof, will give tide parties plaintiff a right to be heard to prevent any further action under these irregular executions. The entry, therefore, will be that the demurrer be overruled.
