THE INJUNUTTON.
Further Hearing Postponed I'm.
til Monday.

The motion of the city authorities,
through their attorney, Col. r J. Nor
gan, for g modification or dissolution o.
the Injunction granted by the Chancellor
to certain parties already mentioned, re.
straining the Finance Committee from
the use of the half million OF bonds
lately voted, except in funding the due
indebtness at dollar for dollar, came up
for q hearing, yesterday, before the Chan
cellor.
Judge Thomas r. Smith, who has been
employed to assist Col. Morgan, opened
the Ease for the city. He was fol-
lowed, in reply, by Col. Phelan and
Judge l. lett, for the eDjOiner5. AT tee
close of Judge Eilett's remarks, about
half past three O'Clock, the further hear
ing OF the case was postponed until Mon.
day morning, at half past nine o'clock.
The point made by the attorneys for
the eDjOiners was simply that the letter
of the law demanded the use of the
bonds as stated in their petition for the
injunction. Col. Morgan, in his motion
for q modification or dissolution, raises
the question of the s~igni6cation OF the
term "funding,n in commercial ussge,
also IS to the spirit of the law.
Meanwhile neither this agitation, nor
the proposed future action Of the "Citi-
zens' Union |" seems to make much effect
on the holders Of the eity's securities, for
while the case eXcites considerable inter-
est in certain quarters, and is freely die
cusstd, the general opinion is that the
motion will be granted, and the injnnc-
ton modified or dissolved. The Finance
Committee-those of them with whom
we have cOnversed are sanguine of such
a result.
