Morgan, J.

This is an injunction suit, instituted against the sheriff to restrain him from executing a writ which issued in the case of Riley v. Howell.

In that case (Riley v. Howell) we annulled the judgment on the ground of want of jurisdiction of the court which rendered it. If the judgment was a nullity, no execution could rightfully issue under it. The judgment of the district court, therefore, which maintained the injunction, is correct.

Judgment affirmed.
