PARDEE, J ·. ,This case is submitted upon a motion for an injunction to dissolve the restraining order heretoIt is submitted upon an unsworn bill, alleging fraud, aSWOl'11.answer of Carter & Gibson denying fraud, and two exhibits of chattel mortgages, -one granted by the defendant printing pany, dated· September 15, 1885, in favor of defendants G.

In the sworn answer of Carter & Gibson is this averment: "Further answering, these respondents say that the complainants were fully said stock by the Carter &, Gibson apprised of the purchase of Printing Company, and of the said mortgage given to secure the payment of said notes; and not only were complainants aware of said purchase, but these respondents Cfharge and allege that said complainants approved of said sa.le. And, further, these respondents would show to the court that before the said mortgage given to the complainants by Carter & Gibson Printing Company wasexecuted·.fhat the whole circumstance of the sale and mortgage to these · respondents was explained to the complainants, and they had full knowledge of same:. and, when complainants drew up their said to be signed by the Carter & Gibson Printing Oompany, (and respondents allege that the same was prepared by complainants or their attorneys in St. Louis, Mo.,) they, with a full knowlege of respondents' mortgage, and with a full knowledge of the financial condition of the Carter &, Gibson Printing Company, they expressly proVided and inserted in said mortgage the following clause:"Then reciting the clause above quoted, as to the mortgage to Carter & Gibson. \ ; This showing of the case is not met by the complainants; who, ignoring the recitals in their own contract, and their alleged consent, seem to place their case upon the admitted allegations that the defendant company is and was insolvent; that part of their debt was contracted prior to the mortgage of September, 1885; and the further charge that the pur-

chase of stock from Carter & Gibson, and the mortgaging of the company's property to secure the indebtedness crell.tedby such purchase of stock; was fraudulent as to existing creditors. Without disputing any of these positions, it is sufficient to say that, as the case is presented to the court, the complainants consented to the purchase of stock from and the execution of the mortgage' to Carter & Gibson, and as long as the complainants stand upon the mortgage of November, 1885, which lsthe basis of their bill, they are estopped from attacking the validity of the Carter & Gibson mortgage. The injunction pendente asked for must berefused, and the restraining order heretofore granted upon a bill not setting forth the conceded facts in the case must be dissolved.

This cause was remanded from the supreme court at its October term, 1881, to this court, with directions to dismiss the. bill of complaint. This court, after various delays in the taxation. of costs, in its October term, 1883, entered a final decree dismissing the bill 'and amended. bill of complaint, with coststaxed, and awarded execution for the costs. The plaintiff now in this April term, 1887, moves to set aside this decree, and for further proceedings. It is said, in support of this motion"that this.court went beyond the mandate to dismiss the bill, by dismiflsing not only the bill" but the amended bill. It is understood, however, that the bill. directed to be dismissed :was the whole bill on case rested, including the original bill as anIflnded, which the as well, as the original bill as at first filed. Nothing would be accomplished by dismissing, the original bill,and leaving the an16nded bill" on which the cause depended and was tried, still pending. Perhaps it would have been more proper to have made a decree dismissing the bill merely
