Griffin & Dyson v. Cowan, Dykers & Co.

The opinion prepared by the District Judge contains a clear exposition of the facts and of the law involved in this cause.

But before disposing of this matter, it is necessary to pass upon the bills of exception, which are spread on the record.

1. This suit commenced by an order of seizure and sale; but, an injunction being sued out, it assumed the form of an ordinary action. The defendants in injunction filed an amended answer for that purpose. The plaintiffs objected, on the ground that the character of the suit was thereby changed. The court overruled the objection, and allowed the amendment.
