        "text": "Opinion of the Court by\nJustice Lockwood.\nThis was a bill in chancery, filed by the complainant, to perpetually'enjoin a judgment obtained in the Jackson circuit court, in favor of the defendants, against the complainant. The bill states that the recovery was had on a judgment obtained in the state of Kentucky. The court, after a careful perusal of the bill, are clearly of opinion that the bill discloses no ground for the interference of a court of equity. If the complainant could not prove his defense, it was his duty to have filed a bill of discovery when the suit in Kentucky was pending against him. The law is well settled, if a party has a legal defense to a suit at law, and neglects to make it at the proper time, he is precluded from seeking relief in equity. Judgment affirmed with costs, ,\nJudgment affirmed.\nVide Hubbard v. Hobson, ante, 190. Crow\u2019s executors v. Prevo, ante, 216.\nSee note to More et al. v. Bagley et al., ante, p. 94.",
