Opinion of the Court — Per Curiam

Per Curiam.

We have considered the exceptions of the plaintiffs to the refusal to submit certain issues, and to the charge, and find them without merit. The issue submitted covers every phase of the controversy, and the charge is free from objection.

The exception to the judgment must be sustained, as the liability of the plaintiffs and their surety on the injunction bond cannot be determined in advance of any loss or damage, proven or sustained. The defendant will be taxed with the costs of this Court. .

Modified and affirmed.
