This the second application tor an injunction 10
restrain the transfer OF large tract OF and 10 the TO
man Catholic Orphan Asylum. This morning Judge
Davies rendered the following opinion, denying the
motion for injunction:
Assuming the statements of the complaint to be true,
the defendant during the progress of this suit, can
sustain injury by the doing OF the act which ne
fears.
1t not usual to grant an injunction, unless TO re-
strain an injury which may be lrreparabe. 1t such
prac has been any extent obtained recent events
admonsh us that this power should be exercised with
caution. This writ Is the strong arm OF the Court,
and should be outstretched or uped except TO
protect the weak and restrain an injury FOR winch no
other relief can be afforded
For these and reasons heretofore stated in the case,
cannot see tiny duty to interfere by injunction in the
present stage of thin cause ana the motion is thereore
denied
Mir Blunt, counsel for the plaintiff, has appealed
from the lrst order Of Judge Davies denying the lnlunc-
ton asked for, and he will immediately appeal from
