1Opinion of the Court

Per Cúriam,

The three plaintiffs, describing themselves as “Directors of the Poor and of the House of Employment for the County of Schuylkill, or Directors of the Schuylkill County Poor District,” petitioned for a declaratory judgment, naming the controller and the treasurer of Schuylkill County, together with three county commissioners, as defendants. The court below dismissed the petition on the ground that it failed to show the existence of an actual or potential controversy between the parties and merely asked for an advisory judgment. Plaintiffs have appealed.
