Upon tbe bearing, all tbe affidavits and counter affidavits for plaintiffs and defendants were considered by tbe Judge, and be reached tbe conclusion, and so found as a fact, \u201cthat there is a good-faith contention 'on both sides, based upon evidence constituting a prima facie title.\u201d Having made this finding of fact, it became tbe duty of tbe Judge to forbid either party to cut timber trees on tbe land in dispute until tbe final determination. Revisal, secs. 80J, 808. AVe have carefully reviewed tbe record, as we have tbe power to do, and conclude that there is no just ground for reversing tbe judgment. Inasmuch as tbe title to the land is put in issue and is to be tried before a jury, when tbe facts will be fully developed, we content ourselves with simply affirming tbe order of tbe Judge below.\nAffirmed.",
