yuit In equity of the Blackstone Wool
en- Company VS.. Richard 'Wsterhouse to
restrain the defendant, who has begun

proceeding with his suit.
Mr.. Waterhouse, for great many years,
was superintendent Of the plaintiff com
pany's mills, which are in North Smith
field in this state and in the bill in
equity filed today 1t is claimed that In
1886 an agreement was entered into be-
tween Waterhouse and the Blackstone
Woolen Company in which he was to
work for them for five years as superin-
tendent of its mills for which he was 10
receive $4,000 and IL per cent OF the profits
annually as his compensation. That in
Novemb ber, 1890 just previous TO the ex-
piration OF this agreement another was
entered into to extend to April, 1923, by
which Waterhouse was TO receive instead
OF II per cent. OF the profits, 20 per cent.
OF the same.
Every six months II was the custom OF
the firm, the bill also declares, TO make
up statements OF account by taking the
face value OF bills receivable, edding in
terest thereto, but these could not be con-
sidered statements OF property no- were
they ever considered as such by the MEM
bers OF company nor by MIR. Waterhouse,
though he now endeavors TO sue them IN
q court OF law.
In support of the bill, claiming that the

ing an unfair use of the so called stated
accounts, and that IL was the duty of the
court of equity to interfere in the mat
ter, also that no body would be injured
by the court taking action in the matter.

sition TO the court interfering In the

presented by him IN evidence were in re-
.ality stated accounts he would be obliged
