Syllabus

<p>Practice in Chancery—Multifariousness.—A bill is usually deemed multifarious for containing different causes of suit against same persons when these two things concur, to-wit: the different causes must be wholly distinct; and each cause must be sufficient as stated to sustain a bill. Huff v. Thrash, 75 Va. 550. But there is no general rule applicable to all cases. Segar v. Parish, 20 Gratt. 679. And where the causes, though distinct, are not absolutely independent of each other, and it will be more convenient to dispose of them in one suit, the objection for multifariousness will not prevail. Almond v. Wilson, 75 Va. 623.</p>
