Injunction Perpetuated.-Ont

I'M unctlOn h-erpetuhteu.-O
of the most interesting and, with regard
to principles involved, one of the most
important decisions made at the recent
session of the Circuit Court was the one
handed down by Judge Armstrong on
last Friday. The decree in effect estab-
lished the validity of an oral exchange
of realty under certain conditions and
circumstances; at least such would be
legitimate deduction from the Courts
opinion. Briefly stated, the history of
the case is about as follows: In or about
the year 1856, one Smith ION whose
lands were certain liens) agreed orally
to give Joseph Criswell parcel of land
to be converted into road, in exchange
for small corner of land to be received
by Smith from Criswell as Quid pro quo.
In 1872 or the property OF Smith, then
deceased, was sold by the Administra-
tor; James Lakewood becoming the
purchaser, and subsequently conveyed
it to his wife. Several years elapsed and
Criswell still retained use of the road,
and the Hazlewoods continued to farm
the small corner of land mentioned in
the exchange above.N Finally the Ha-
zlewoods built fence across the road,
thus depriving Criswell of the right Of
way. The fence was thrown down and
an action of trespass was brought by
Mrs. Hazlewood against Criswell which
resulted in judgment being given
against the defendant. Payment of the
judgment was refused, and a bill was
filed in chancery praying the court to
enjoin the collection of said judgment.
Evidence in the case was taken and the
case argued by Messrs. Faulkner and
lngles for the plaintiff in equity, and
Messrs. Flick, Rohrbaugh and Wisner
for Hazlewood, the defendant in the in
junction proceedings. On Friday it was
decreed that it was against conscience
and equity to enforce the collection of
said judgment, and perpetual injunc-
ton was granted.-Natinsburg States
