Syllabus

<p>Chancery Courts. Jurisdiction. Equity. Constitutional law. Constitution Í890, seo. 160. Injunction. Suit at law. Multiplicity of suits.</p> <p>A defendant in ejectment, having an equitable defense, may enjoin its prosecution, under Constitution 1890, sec. 160, enlarging the jurisdiction of the chancery court, without yielding any legal defense that he may have to the suit; and all defenses in such case may be made in equity, thus preventing a multiplicity of suits.</p>
