Messimer's Appeal

Opinion of the Court

The judgment of the Supreme Court was entered November 28th 1879,

Per Curiam.

We agree entirely in the opinion of Judge Bredin that, β€œthe case presented on bill and answer is simply the ordinary case of property claimed by one party, plaintiff, in the possession *171of another party, defendant.” It is a mere ejectment bill, and there is nothing to give a court of equity jurisdiction.

Decree affirmed, and appeal dismissed at the costs of the appellant.
