        "text": "Wood, J.,\n(after stating the facts). Act 181 \u00f3f the General Assembly, approved April 12,1911, is valid. It was recently held by this court that an enacting clause like the one under consideration does not render an act unconstitutional. Ferrell v. Keel, 103 Ark. 96. That case rules this.\nThe court erred in rendering judgment against the appellant and his bondsmen.\nThe temporary restraining order was not \u201can injunction to stay proceedings upon a judgment or final order\u201d of the county court. Section 3998, Kirby\u2019s Digest; Greer v. Stewart, 48 Ark. 21; Stanley v. Bonham, 52 Ark. 354.\nThe complaint on the information of the prosecuting attorney did not state facts sufficient to give the chancery \u25a0court jurisdiction to render judgment against appellant and his bondsmen on the injunction bond. In the case of the State use Columbia County v. Nabors, 103 Ark. 16, the county brought suit against Nabors, the collector of Columbia County; and his bondsmen, to recover interest on funds of the county which were to be turned into the county depository. In that case the court held that suit could not be maintained against the collector and the sureties on his official bond for the interest that would have been earned until \u201ca determination and adjudication fixing the liability\u201d by the county court. In other words, the court held that the determining of the amount of interest, if any, for which the collector and his bondsmen were liable in that case was within the exclusive jurisdiction of the county court.\nIt follows from the application of the doctrine of that case to the facts of this record that the chancery court had no jurisdiction to render the judgment herein for damages. To this extent,the decree will be modified, and as thus modified it is affirmed.",

Statute: \u2014 enacting clause. \u2014 Act 181 of Acts 1911, containing the enacting clause, \u201cBe it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas,\u201d is valid. (Page 212.)\n2. Injunction \u2014 temporary order \u2014 effect.\u2014A temporary restraining order is not \u201can injunction to stay proceedings upon a judgment or final order\u201d of the county court, within Kirby\u2019s Dig., \u00a7 3998, providing that upon the dissolution of a judgment to stay proceedings upon a judgment or final order damages shall be assessed by the court. (Page 212.)\n3. Equity \u2014 liability of treasurer \u2014 jurisdiction of county court.\u2014 Equity has no jurisdiction to fix the liability of a county treasurer for failure to pay over county funds to the county depository, as required by Acts 1911, c. 181; the county court having exclusive original jurisdiction over such matters. (Page 212.)\nAppeal from Drew Chancery Court; Zachariah T. Wood, Chancellor;\nmodified and affirmed.\nSTATEMENT BY THE COURT.\nThe appellant, as treasurer of Drew County, applied to the chancery court for a temporary injunction restraining the county judge of Drew County from establishing a depository for the funds of the county under the provisions of act No. 181, approved April 12, 1911, the enacting clause of which is as follows; \u201cBe it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas.\u201d The appellant executed a bond and obtained a temporary restraining order. Before the final hearing the prosecuting attorney intervened in the name of the State for the use and benefit of Drew County, and filed a complaint against the appellant, asking that the temporary restraining order be set aside, and that appellant be ordered to present a statement of the daily balances of all funds in his custody as treasurer since the restraining order was issued and the amount of all the funds that he would have delivered to the depository, had not the restraining order been issued, and prayed that judgment be entered against the appellant and his bondsmen on the injunction bond at the rate of per cent, on the daily balances. The court, on final hearing, dissolved the injunction and entered a decree against the appellant and his bondsmen \u201cfor damages in the sum of 5per cent, on daily balances in the hands of plaintiff as treasurer from and after October 2, 1911, until paid, and for all other and further damages that may arise by further delay and appeal from this decree until final settlement,\u201d etc. From this decree the appellant duly prosecutes this appeal.\nPatrick Henry, for appellant.\nWilliamson & Williamson and R. W. Wilson, for appellees."
