1Opinion of the Court
Mr. Presiding Justice Horton
delivered the opinion of the court.
In this case a bill in chancery was filed by appellant for the purpose of perpetually enjoining the collection of two judgments obtained before a justice of the peace by the appellee lumber company against appellant. Said judgments were entered June 20, 1898. Said bill was filed July 20, 1898, and charges that appellant had no knowledge of the entry of said judgment until July 16, 1898.
On behalf of appellee it is contended that appellant had a remedy at law by certiorari, and that therefore a court of chancery had no jurisdiction…
