■ The bill before us alleges that the defendants have published, and intend to publish in the future, the name and business standing of the plaintiff in the records and books of a mercantile agency. It does not even allege that the -representations are false or malicious. If he has any remedy, which we do not mean to intimate, it is by an action at law. The bill does not state a cáse within the equity jurisdiction of the court.
