Turpin, Administrator of James, v. Jefferson.
    February Term, 1810.
    Injunctions — Bill Taken for Confessed — Effect.—After a bill of injunction has been taken for confessed, for want of an answer, a motion will not be received from the defendant to discharge it, as having been improvidently awarded.
    The bill in this case was filed for an injunction, which was awarded, and the cause now stood upon an order taking the bill for confessed, and a motion was made to discharge the injunction, upon the ground that it was improvidently granted.
    
      
      See monographic note on “Ini unctions” appended to Claytor v. Anthony. 15 Gratt. 518.
    
   By the Chancellor.

I had very great doubts at first about granting the injunction, but as the defendant is in contempt, such a motion comes from him with rather a bad grace.

Motion denied.
