BOSTON & MAINE INJUNCTION CAsE-This
is bill in equity filed in behalf of Andrew j.
Nealley ct ais, owners of certain lands in the
town of Berwick, over which the extension of
the Boston & Maine Railroad as now located
passes, to obtain an injunction to prevent the
building of the road as located over the land of
the complainants.
1t is claimed on the part of the compliments
that the charter of the Boston g. Maine Rail-
road which authorizes the building of the road
'from some convenient point ON its present
road in Berwick or South Berwick, in this
State, thence through the towns of South Ber-
wick, North Berwick if necessary, Wells, Ken
nebunk, Kennebunkport, Biddeford, Saco,
Scarborough and Cape Elizabeth to some con-
venent point in the city of Portland" does not
authorize the present location of the road,
which is from point on the road in Berwick
and from thence extends through the town of
Berwick, North Berwick, and other towns to
Portland, leaving out entirely the town of
South Berwick as mentioned in their charter.
They further claim that the present location is
a palpable deviation from the route authorized
by the charter, and is therefore void, and the
road as constructed by the defendant corpora
ton is a nuisance to the complainants.
After the case for the compliments was out,
Judge Walton suggested that, inasmuch as this
was very important matter to all parties, and
any decision he might make at this hearing
would not be conclusive upon either party, it
might be advisable to make up the case and re-
port it directly to the full Court for a speedy
decision. To this the compliments acceded,
but the counsel for the road asked for time to
confer, and the hearing was adjourned until o
o'clock Friday morning, at which time the de-
PENDANTS will elect whether they will proceed
upon the question of a temporary injunction or
report the case directly to the full Court.
