Opinion

Gilbert, J.

1. The court did not err in overruling the demurrer to the petition.

2. The evidence demanded the verdict as directed for the plaintiff. The right to equitable relief was not barred by laches.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur. John Rogers, for plaintiff in error. Gordon Knox, contra.
