Suit for an injunction by the Holy-Nazarene Tabernacle Church against Mattie L. Thornton and others. From an order of punishment based on a finding that Mattie L. Thornton was guilty of contempt of court in wilfully violating such injunction, she appeals.
*69Abstract of the Decision.
1. Injunction, § 259 * —when order of contempt for violating injunction is erroneous. An entry of judgment in contempt for wilfully violating an injunction is erroneous where the bill of complaint which was the basis for the injunction has been dismissed.
2. Injunction, § 209*—what order constitutes dismissal of Mil. Where a corporation brought suit for an injunction and the defendant filed a plea of nul tiel corporation, and on reference to a master a report was filed, whereupon the defendant moved the chancellor to confirm the report and to dismiss the bill of complaint, an order stating that the court sustained the master’s report and restored the rights of the defendant was, in substance and in view of what was intended, an order for dismissal of the bill.
