Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-04-21

e~ertifcate Of election, presented his bonds
to the lawfully constituted tribunal, took
the oath and was invested with the Office
of Sheriff Of Shelby county-was so de-
clared and recognized as such. Curry,
late Sheriff, applied for, and, without no
Sice to Wright, obtained an injunction re-
strsining him from performing the duties
of Sheriffor taking possession Of the Office.
General Wright since then fled his bill
for an Injunction to restrain said Curry
from usurping and performing he du-
ties Of Sherin-his term Of Office having
expired by constitutional limitation and
by the qualification of his successor. Be
fore granting the injunction the Court al
lows Colonel Curry to appear and resist
the same upon not only his answer, bat
also afidavits in support thereof, thus
opening the merits oft case as in a con
tested election. This favor was not ex-
tended to General Wright on Colonel
Curry's application to eniOin him. How
ever, the result of the present hearing
will virtually decide the contest. The
question before the Court as agreed upon
by the counsel is, "Shall the injunction
now restraining General Wright be dis
solved, and an injunction TO restrain Cur
" be granted, or will the Court override
General Wright's motiOnin both cases'"'
Able counsel appear on both sides, and
the ample scope and latitude given en-
ables the Court to determine in this case
the rights of the parties to the office.
Perhaps the most elegant and fashion
able wedding Memphis has ever known
Was solemnized last night at calvary
