McLaughlin v. McLaughlin
McLaughlin v. McLaughlin
Opinion of the Court
The chancellor -declined to pass on the equity of the bill; and, under the circumstances, we think it our duty to do likewise. Had the chancellor expressed any opinion on the frame of the bill, or its equities, motions and applications might have been urged before him, which we, as an appellate court, are incompetent to pass on.

In dissolving the injunction, the chancellor should have required the defendant to execute .a refunding bond, under section 2982 of the-Code. For failing to do so, his decretal order dissolving the injunction is reversed; and this court, proceeding to
Let the costs of this appeal be paid by the appellee.
