• 21 Fla. 126

Syllabus

<p>1. A bill by a creditor filed for the purpose of subjecting lands to levy and sale on execution, it being alleged that th'e debtor had a good legal title by deed and by adverse possession but that the title deed had been lost and the record thereof destroyed by fire, against a grantee of the heirs of a former owner, who claims title, shows no ground of equity jurisdiction, as the whole matter is cognizable in a court of law.</p> <p>2. Without some supervening equity a court of chancery has no jurisdiction to try a mere question of legal title.</p>
