McKee, J.
The appellant (plaintiff in the court below) commenced an action of ejectment for recovery of possession of a tract of land. In addition to the statement of a cause of action in ejectment, the complaint contained averments to the effect that, at the time of the alleged entry and ouster by the defendants, there was upon the land a crop of grain which had been planted by the plaintiff, a portion of which *250 the defendants, since their entry, had cut and stacked upon the land; that they threatened to cut the remainder, and to remove the entire crop from the premises and convert it to their own use; and that they were insolvent, and a judgment against them for the value of the grain would be unavailing. The complaint was verified, and upon filing it, together with an injunction bond, conditioned according to law, a temporary injunction was issued restraining the defendants from disposing of, removing or injuring any of the grain, whether uncut or cut, and stacked upon said premises. But the court afterward, on motion of the defendants’ counsel, and after argument of counsel of the respective parties, dissolved the injunction.
