““The petition discloses no ground of relief upon the facts stated. It is to be presumed that they are stated as strongly and fully in favor of the petitioners as the truth will warrant, and yet unless we supply by construction allegations wholly omitted, we cannot find any ground upon which the relief asked for can be granted.” Thruston v. Belote, 59 Tenn. 249, 251 .”
