Syllabus

<p>Equity — Contracts—Adequate remedy at law — Misjoinder of parties.</p> <p>. 1. A hill in equity against the school directors of a township school district is properly dismissed on the ground of an adequate remedy at law, where from the material parts of the bill it appears that the plaintiffs claim that they had been duly and legally elected by the school board as teachers of certain schools in the township at a fixed compensation and for a specified term, that they entered upon the performance of their duties, and that after teaching for a portion of the time specified they were dismissed from their places as teachers without notice and without any cause • therefor;</p> <p>2. Such a bill is clearly demurrable on the ground of misjoinder of parties where its averments disclose an employment of each of four teachers respectively to teach four different school^ in a township.</p>
