  Joseph Lockridge, and William A. Lockridge for an injunction to prevent them
  from executing two judgments against the plaintiffs. In the bill for
  injunction, Lincoln argues that the Lockridges do not hold the title to a
  sawmill and a lot that the Balls and Black purchased from them. The plaintiffs
  seek to stop payments to the defendants until or unless the defendants can
  prove that they hold a legal title to the property. Stephen A. Douglass,
  Stephen T. Logan, and John D. Urquhart represent the Lockridges. <bibl default='NO'>Bill for
