Upon hearing on the demurrer, it was ordered that if B should, within fifteen days, bring into court the amount due on the mortgage and interest and all taxes paid by A, etc., A should be restrained from further prosecution of the ejectment suit, but that if he should fail to do so within that time, the bill should be dismissed and the defendant allowed to proceed with the suit.
