POWLES VS. DILLEY. 121
Afterwards, to wit, on the 14th of February, 1846, the same
parties filed a second bill in the same court against the same
defendants, and Joseph Dilley; in which the same allegations
in substance are reiterated, and others made, impeaching the
bona fides, of the assignment to Joseph Dilley, which they al-
