acrimony exhibited In some parts OF the
pleadings In this cause and the public
clamor which has been raised about this
controversy. Neither has bad any effect In
causing IL to reach the conclusions It has in
this cause, and IL hopes and believes that
neither will ever control or affect its judg-
ments. They are referred TO only TO ex-
press the regrets OF the Court that they
hsve been engendered. The truth Is
that there IS now, and probably al.
ways will be, sufficient water In the
James river for both the plaintiff and the
city the plaintiff has, as 1t had q right to
do, by strengthening IT'S dam. &c, (see
CotoeH Us. Tdyer, Metcali, 253,) better
utilized its means OF supply in these times
OF low water, caused only by the act Of
God, than the city, aud the latter ought not
by any means 10 attempt TO visit lis misfor-
tunes or throw its burdens upon others,
without at least agreeing to idemnify them
against any loss which may be occasioned
thereby.
Being clearly OF the opinion, then, that
THE PROPERTY OF THE PLAINTIFF HAS BEEN
ILLEGALLY INVADED
and taken, and by such means as 10 render
the damages which may be occasioned
thereby rreparable, the Injunction will be
awarded to enioin and restrain the Defend
ants from further interfering with said prop
eTty. In the present emergency surround
ing the defendants, however, the Court
thinks 1t but right to give three days time to
the City Council TO see II they cannot, by
proper negotiations, make some contract
with the plaintiff for usiag the water now
turned from its canal into the river for the
use OF its citizens. or take proper pro-
& OH ri IN
10 take possession Of said water, or at least
to agree TO indemnify the plaintiff for any
loss which it may sustain by reason OF the
Invasion OF its property In the manner COM
planned Of. II nothing Is done at the ex-
piraton OF that time the Injunction will be
granted.
JUDGE CHRISTIAN
said that he thought 1t proper to inform
counsel that on Friday or on Saturday
morning be would leave the city for a rest
which he needed 10 prepare him for the
work OF the ensuing term OF the court.
His physical condition was such that he felt
bound to leave. He would, however, write
an order and leave it with the clerk-not TO
be placed in the hands OF an officer until II
NJ. Saturday, by which hour he hoped the
CITY Council would meet and be able TO
have an understanding with the railroad
company.
Cny-Attorney Kelley stated that under
the charter no ordinance involving the pay"
meut OF money could be passed by one
branch Of the Council until three days after
the meeting Of the branch which first acted
on Il.
Judge Christian: will then say Monday
at Z. NJ.
Mr.. C.. u. Williams: Your Honor, do /
then understand that the clerk will be au-
thorized TO put the Injunction into the
hands OF sn officer at 4 p. NJ. Monday il |
then report to him no arrangement has been
nader
The Judge: Yes, sir.
WHAT SHALL WE DO now?
The city authorities have not yet definitely
determined what they will do. One Ian Is
to ask Jndge Wexford upon his return
here, which will be in a day or two, to dis
| solve this Injunction and failing, then aud
there to endeaYOr 10 procure an appeal. IL
| Is also contemplated to ask for an iDIunc-
ton against the railroad company to pre-
vent iis diyerting the water from the river
into the canal to the detriment OF the inter-
este Of this city.
President Clarke said last night that the
Common Council had not yet been called,
nor did he know that IL would be. H.,
however, any plan or scheme could be sug-
pested likely to remedy exiting difficulties,
| he would at once order the Council to be
called.
II is quite likely that action will be taken
| 10. day looking TO a meeting OF the Councll
this evening or tomorrow.
