AN INJUNCTION CASE. This morning
Judge Wylie granted temporary restrain
ing order in the case of Georgetown Col
lege agt. t. NJ. Lanahan, j. T. Gull. Juan
Boyle and Frank Barnum. Messrs Merrick
and MOTIFS file the bill, which reciteS that
Lanahan is the beneficiary in certain deeds
of trust, and creditor of Boyle & Barnum
ana that Gull Is the trustee in said deeds;
that on May 2ith, 1874, Boyle 4 Barnum were
indebted to them for $4,000, for which they
gave their note, payable in three months,
secured by deed of trust To F. E. Chew, on
lots !, and 3, square 63i which property was
represented as free and unencumbered, and
they (complaiEants) now chhrge that said
representations were false and unfOunded
and said lots were then and now are encum-
bered by deeds, liens, and charges to the
amount of sixteen or eighteen thousand dol
lars some dating back to 1871. and the
greater part of the notes secured by such
deeds have gone into the hands of Ianahan
who, they charge, has other securities suff-
cient TO secure him from loss, and that the
attempt Of Lanahan to enforce payment is a
fraud upon the complainants, ard chiefly
INTENDED to benefit Barnum 4 Boyle, and
enable them to evade the claims OF their
creditors. They further state they have
commenced an action at law to recover the
amount, and they believe the defendants
Boyle 4 Barnum are insOlvcnt. and will be
unable to pay the same. They therefore ask
an injunction to restrain the sale, and that
an account be taken, &c.

the service OF the summons, &c. The COM
pany claims that they can proceed under the

deny that they can thus proceed. Mr. Mer-
rick, for the defendants, opened the case with
quite an argument, ia which he claimed that
the original agreement had been violated by
the company, and that defendants were per-
lectly willing 10 pay their rents as they be-
camedue, on receiving proper receipts. but
1hey VIII not pay on the receipts offered. lin
which is clause by which the dealers will
be placed under the landlord and tenant actD

garded themselves as outside of the landlord
and tenant act, for they had attempted 10
procure the passage of an act to give them
ih1s right. He also cOntended that no such
receipt as was proposed to be given was gOoI
in law. Before Mr.. NJ had Completed his
argument the case was adjourned.
