“"The bill of complaint was not founded upon two separate matters or transact ions. The conduct of the appellee complained of consisted ol' the same acts. The legal cpialities of those acts were in some respects different, and the result was that the facts presented a. double aspect. It is upon this consideration that such a bill can be sustained against an objection that it is multifarious. Upon such a bill as this, successive final decrees are not pronounced.””
