'and the -C. Mfg. Co. were committing and about to commit acts alleged to constitute irreparable injury to the land, and praying that an injunction be issued and the two causes heard together. Upon this bill an injunction issued and from an order refusing to dissolve, as well as the order granting same, an appeal was taken to the ' Supreme Court. Subsequently the first suit proceeded to final decree declaring void the tax deed held by H. from which an appeal was likewise taken to the Supreme Court. The latter court considered both causes together and finding no error in the decree in the first suit, affirmed the same. Held, that the hill filed in the second suit must he dismissed without considering the propriety of the orders appealed from, as under the circumstances stated no practical result can be' accomplished by reviewing them.</p>
