j
Charleston, Juno 10.--.Judge
Simonton issued an order this after
noon temporarily restraining and en-
joining the dispensary constablcs from
interfering in any way with the
maintenance and conduct Of the es-
toblishment Of j. S. Pinkussohn, at
200 King street.
The injunction was issued at tho
Instance Of NJ. j. N. Nathans, tho
legal representative Of w. G.. Moore
OF Now York and his agent, Mr.. j.
3. Pinkussohn. AS will be soon be-
low it is Of tho omnibus orCor. The
injunction omphatically warns tho
constables to keep their hands off of
liquor, wines and becrs, which,
Moore may send into tho State. con
signed to Pinkussohn,- .Ifcro is no
misunderstanding IT'S torms, for it is
perfectly plain in all its provisions.
Iho entire constabulary forco is
affected and all other officers ewho
may claim to act under the dispen-
sary law and attompt to Interfere
with the liquor.
The injunction was issued upon
tho filing of lengthy bill of COM
.rla'nt. The bill among other things
states that the complainants have
already been damaged by constab,
lIlary interference to the extent of
$4,000. They aver that they arc
now threatened with damages to tho
amount Of $4,000, by tho seizure of
thor liquor and tho restraints upon
their trade.
Tho bill re"ites tho facts relative
TO the arrival Of tho liquor in tho
city and tho opening of the cstab.
Ilshmont and tho recent constabu-
larry interference with which the
peoplo Of the State arc familiar.
Tho bill concludes with a prayer
for temporary injunction and Il
rulo to show cause, why The injunc-
ton should not be permanent, both
OF which orders were granted by tho
court.
Judge Simonton has fixed tho
18th instant at II H. H., as tho date
FOR tho hearing Of the rulo to show
cause.
1t will be soon from tho Injunction
that not only arc the constablcs on
joined from interfering with the
liquor at any place, but they arc
'orblddcn to exercise any of their
'Il"god prerogativcs at any time
save Sunday. This means that thcy
&cahhotF enforce tho closing Of MIR.
Pnkussohn's doors at sunset, as
they claim they have the authority
TO Go.
Tho injunction will not be in the
nature of a surprise, as it wa. OK.
pocSod. 1t happened however, to
DO issued few days earlier than was
looked for in consequence Of Judge
''lmonton's arrival in the city sooner
than was expected.
Tho federal courts in junction pro.
tccts Pinkussohn's liquor now stor cd
in tho city and what liquor is now
en- route here from seizure, detention
or conlScation.
AS far as this, tho situation as re-
CARDS the ''original package" ostah
lishmont IS changed; but bnyond,
matters are in a statu quo. BY tho
terms of Judge Benot's Injunction,
MIR. Pinkussohn cannot dispose of
any 81 his liquor.
w. speaking of tho case Mr.. j. N.
N;ahans, Jr, said to-day that the
oraer simply protects Mr.. Pin
->Kussohn, but the solution Of tho
troubles will have to be heard in both
tho federal and State courts
