•~RICHARDS V. - STANLEY.- INJUNCTION TO RESTRAIN
THE Crrrttro or Timneit.—Mr. Bothell and Mr. Beavers
applied fur an injunction ex parte to restrain the defendant,
Sir William Massey Stanley, his agents, or servants, from
cutting down certain timber upon an estate at Bootee, in
Cheater. It appeared that the plaintiff was an ineurabraneer
upon the estate, and Sir W. M. Stanley being abroad, his
agent had marked a number of trees, and had given direc-
tions for their being cut down. Under these cirrumstancen,
the security of the plaintiff would be greatly diminished.
The Vice-Chancellor th ught this a proper case for an
injunction to be granted.

Before Vaes.Chencellor Kelgist Brace.
Pthithorog v. Fosage.—lxrurth-rtore.—ln 184.5 the
plaintiff, who was employed by the Central Railway of Spain
Company to survey and level a proposed line of railway
Madrid to Badajos, entered into a written agreement with
an agent of the defendant, whereby the latter undertook cer-
tain parts of the work at 71. per mile. In October, 1846, the
defendant commenced an action of assumpeit against the
plaintiff for the amount of his charges, and on Dee. 16 the
plaintiff's attorney took out a summons in the eetion to show
cause why the defendant should not produce the agreement
for the plaintiff's inspection, but upon the production of an
affidavit of the defendant, denying that he had ever signed
such an agreement as he was required to produce, the sum-
mons was dismissed. Upon the trial el the action, when a
agreement,witneu of the plaintiffta Laisentar.env.esarn..inaliasonka.sdtitihtehwe terms
of
whether the agreement was in writing, and on his answering
in the affirmative the court declined bearing peed evidence
of its contents, in consequence whereof the defendant re-
covered 2641. 14s. damages in the action, which was alleged
to be considerably more than the suns to which he was en-
titled under the agreement. The plaintiff then filed the
present bill to restrain execution in the action at law, on the
ground that the defendant bad obtained an undue advantage
in the action by the course taken with respect to the written
agreement. The defendant, by Lis answer, however, stated
that a correspondence, containing all the terms of the agree-
ment, had without objection, been submitted to the jury,
who bed thus all the facts before thee:D.—Mr. Russell and
Mr. Risdall wive moved for the Jejuna:on, and Mr. Wigram
and Mr. Busk opposed the motion.—The Vion-Chancellor
said that he must take it to be true as it appeared upon the
answer, that the counsel for the defendant in the action at
law allowed documents to be read disclosing the actual terms
of the agreement, and upon that ground alone, without ad-
verting to other elifficulues, on which it was not necessary to
give an opinion, the motion must be refused, but without
costa.
