Syllabus

<p>1. Agreements made and acts done under a mistake of law are (if not otherwise objectionable) generally valid and obligatory.</p> <p>2. A judgment by confession or otherwise will not be restrained by injunction on grounds purely legal, unless a defence at law has been prevented by fraud on the one side or ignorance of facts unmixed with negligence on the other.</p> <p>3. An injunction to a judgment is not a writ of error at law, nor in the nature of such writ as a general rule, and as a general rule ecjuitable proceedings by injunction do not lie to correct the irregularities and errors of courts of law, when such exist.</p> <p>Syllabus 2.</p> <p>Syllabus 3.</p>
