A suit was filed in Hall superior court, for injunction against enforcement of an execution. The defendant filed a plea to the jurisdiction of the court, on the ground that the suit, being one in equity, should have been brought in Fulton County, *713the residence of the defendant. The judge at chambers rendered judgment in favor of the plea to the jurisdiction, and dismissed the suit, and the plaintiff excepted.
