TRENTON, n. j., Feb. 5.-The Vice
Chancellor delivered an elaborate opinion
this morning on bill praying for prelimi-
nary injunction against the National Rail-
road Company-the Stanhope Railroad
Company and others, Pennsylvania Com
panies, being the complainants. The
several charters by which the said railroad
company proposed to construct through
road between Philadelphia and New York
were reviewed at length and the conclusion
in each was that they had no right under
them TO construct through road and that
to use them for that purpose was fraud.
He ruled for complainants on every point
and granted the injunction against the

boat. The body was taken in charge by
