This proceeding was instituted by the Abilene Independent Telephone & Telegraph Company to enjoin the collection of a judgment in cause No. 3085 of the district court of Taylor county upon the ground that complainant was not a party to said judgment, and that the defendant Williams, who was plaintiff in the judgment sought to be enjoined, and the other defendant Weir, as sheriff of Taylor county, were nevertheless threatening to collect the same from the petitioner. The trial court gave a peremptory instruction to the jury to find for the plaintiff, and the defendants have appealed.
