Davis, as Chief Fruit Inspector, from enforcing or attempting to enforce, any of the provisions of the Arsenical Spray Law as against grapefruit production by appellees, as provided by Chapter 11844, Acts of 1927, as amended by Chapter 14485, Acts of 1929, which Act the Chancellor held would be unconstitutional if applied to appellees’ production of grapefruit.
