Freeman v. Deming and others.
    
      Nov. 11, 1844.
    
      A defendant is not to be punished for an infringement of so much of a writ of injunction as goes further than the prayer of the bill.
    
      Practice. Injunction.
    
    On a motion for an attachment for violating an injunction, it appeared that the working of the latter carried the enjoinment further than the prayer in the bill.
   The Vice-Chancellor, in the course of his opinion, observed :

The language of the injunction differs from the prayer of the bill; but it is, nevertheless, to be understood as if it followed the prayer: and the defendants are to be enjoined no further than the bill requires.

Mr. Dana, for the complainant.

Mr. A. P. Mati, for the defendant.
