BROOKLYN. y. Y, Dec. 25-Judse
Edgar NJ. Cullen, OF the supreme Court
this city, has granted "A stay 10 John \.
McKane and others concerned IN thf
Gravesend contempt cases. on the ground
that there is doubt as 10 the validity OF
the Injunction order which Jusice Barn"
ard issued and the defendants disobeyed'
If the Injunction be invalid, Justice Cul'
len says. McKane and his assocites can
not be punished for contempt.
Justice Cullen says that in his mlnd
there is no doubt about the validity of the
intunction that Justice Barnard did right
I'm issuing it, in the first place, and that
he properly found McKanc and the others
guilty of contempt on the facts: but that
as the whole question OF the validity is a
matter Of law, on which the decisions are
of a doubtful character, he thinks the
stay should be granted so that the Cen
eral Term can rule on the issue.
T.. VI. Grout. w. J. Gaynors lawyer,
said: IF Justice Cullen is I'm doubt at all

Why he should make public the call in
