INJUNCTION
GRANTED
BY COURT

Judge Tillinghast has granted the In
junction asked for by Mrs Inez Sprague,
wife OF former Governor William Sprague
against the Sea View Railway company.
He finds that upon the evidence submit
ted the respondent corporation has not
acquired any right TO erect the dispatch
er's tower. and sub-station on Mrs
Sprague's land.
In the course OF the rescript filed, Judge
Tillinghast says. IF the case had 10 90
as was evidently contemrta ted by her
respondent. and she should seek 10 en-
join the further use of her land for such
purposes, the numerous cases cited by
counsel FOR respondent would be In point
and doubtless controlling In it's favor.
But no such fact appears. She Is not
seeking TO prohibit the respondent from
enjoying the easement which she agreed
to convey, upon the completion Of the
the road, but simply to prevent any ad-
ditional and further use OF her land than
that which was contemplated by the
term right of way contained In her
note OF July 8, 1890.
THAT is highly important from busi-
ness as well as from legal point OF view
TO have the rights of the parties in the
premises finally determined before further
expense is incurred. would seem 10 be
a proposition so plainly as hardly TO re-
quire argument"
