In SO barbarous a proceeding this victim OF
sel6shness should be visited with The fate OF the
original god.seeker, Nidas-eyery thing ne
touches, food and all, should be turned into
gold. Indeed, this fable seems to be in great
degree realized in California, from the scarcity
and exorbilant prices Of the necessaries OF life
Bachelors are regarded as great nuisaDces to
society-but, compared with the above married
man, they are innocence itself.

ports showing that 1t is not right for court Of equity
to interfere, under these circumstances with prei-
mpsry pjuDeton; he, therefore conceived that these
parties ought to be left to suit for nuisance by
action at law In folio 70, complainant prsys for
from the ordinary line from Canal street street.
and be ordered to take away much as we have laid
down-a perpetual Injunction against laying down
rails, and there Is NO prayer for preliminary injunc
tion and he contended that preliminary injunction
must be prayed for He asked that II the Court could
suppose some principle Of right was invaded by the
railroad that II should leave IL to a trial aud exami-
nation Of evidence and not grant an injunction for a
long term of years on the ground that il would be i'm
possible 10 compensate for the injury accustomed by
interference IL II should afterwards appear that an in
junction should not have been awarded whilst full
and ample compensation Is liable to be granted the
. complainants by an action at law.
Mr.. LORD would occupy the court but very few
league. He would however say that the compainants
had perfect knowledge that the works contem-
plated and in progress and yet they delayed entering
these proceedings till 3st October until the said par
ties had engaged In It, and gone far that they could
not retreat Under these circums ances he contended
it was too late to apply for ipuncton they let them
for an Injunction against laying the rails that are
already laid; and he would ask the gentleman for an
authority for preliminary injunction for compelling
them to take up the rails that laid down He
cluded by submitting that after the Corporation had
the authority of the Legislature for the construction Of
this railroad the court could not INTERFERE It is in
vain for complainant to come into court Of justice
ture He should be ashamed to trespass the court
by travelling over the ground ably argued by his
learned friend Mr. O'Conor.
Mr. CUTTING rose to reply in conclusion, for plaintiff
and would coDhne himself to the argument on the
other side The first proposition Is, would this CON-
pany have had this right without getting authority
from the city OF New ork! and If they had not have
the Corporation conferred 1t! II not have plaintiffs
right property owners to restrain the breaking up
OF the street, and also TO the authority of de-
PENDANTS being first limited to Fifty secoud street.
Was the legislative grant of itself sufficient to give
the company the right Counsel read from article 4,
Of the act OF I6 and further read from the BILL that
the company shall not have the right to lay the track
without the consent Of the Corporation Of New York.
and continued to that such had not legally been
complied with. The court adjourned and Mr.. Cutting
