60 U.S. (19 How.) 271
Syllabus
A court of equity will not entertain a bill where the complainants seek to enforce a merely legal title to land, and in the present case, in the absence of allegations that the plaintiffs are seeking a partition, or a discovery, or an account, or to avoid a multiplicity of suits, the bill cannot be maintained.
The facts of the case are stated in the opinion. clubjuris
