1Opinion of the Court
Jackson, Chief Justice.
This bill was brought to restrain the county commissioners of Chatham county from erecting a new jail in the city of Savannah near the residences of the complainants. Afterwards the bill was amended so as to ask that the city be also enjoined from transferring to the said commissioners the title to the real estate on which the present jail is built, and its surrounding territory, embracing all that jail lot, to assist in the expense of the new building.
The judge refused the injunction and afterwards dismissed the bill. The latter judgment is assigned as erroneous.
