"to Inquire into such Insanity."
3. The Jurisdiction of the Judge of the

there are no substantial appearances of
insanity the application will be dis

a certain tract of land for the interment
of dead bodies one of the vital Issues is
whether such land is a part of an estab

termined that It is not, a resolution after
wards passed by the city council in which
such grounds are situated to the effect that
such disputed ground ia a part of the cem
etery and is not therefore taxable, will not
affect the question as litigated and detenu-

modification or vacation of an order for
a perpetual injunction restraining the de
fendants from the use of such ground for
burial purposes.

there has been no material change since
the entry of the final order allowing a per
