Chief Justice Stiness today denied the
petition of the complainant in the equity
suit Of Charles r. Johnson VS.. William
II. Sprague for a temporary Injunction to
restrain the defendant from trespassing
on plaintiffs land in Kent county. The
complainant brought suit at law against
the defendant and verdict was given
for the latter by jury under direction
OF Judge Dubois. An appeal from the
verdict was taken and then Mr.. Sprague
went on the land and did some digging
This angered Mr.. Johnson and he brought
the equity suit
James A Pirce OF the law firm of Com
stock e. Gardner argued that an injunc-
tion should not be granted in such a case
as the one before the court where a YER
dict had been given by jury in favor OF
the defendant unless some irreperable
damage seemed imminent TO the COM
plainant He argued no such damage was
shown In this case.
An Injunction was denied because the
trespssses complained OF were 100 trivial.
