RETURN TO SUMMONS.
| Following is the official transcription
of Lightfoots oral return to the sum-
mons:
Mr., Lightfoot:-B way Of return
to the order to show cause we object
to the relief herein prayed for being
| granted on the ground that court of
equity is without jurisdiction to grant
the relief herein prayed for, in the
| first place because there is no alleg-
alton of the insolvency of the defen-
dants or any of them. And it follows
that there is no allegation supported
by the facts alleged in the bill or
affidavits that the petitioner or the
complainant is without a plain ade-
quate, speedy and complete remedy
at law.
We further return that the court is
without jurisdiction to grant the re-
needles herein prayed for in that the
bill seeks an injunction to restrain
the commission Of a crime, or the
commission of crimes.
We further return that the court
is without jurisdiction to administer
the relief herein prayed for, for the
reason that the bill seeks relief
against events of the past and not
against an infringement of the civil
rights of people in the future.
We further return that the court
is without jurisdiction to grant the
relief prayed for in that, in case the
relief prayed for were granted, the
defendants and each of them would
be deprived of a legal right which
they have under the law.
We further return that there is a
misjoinder of parties defendant, in
that certain relief is sought from all
the defendants as to the conduct and
articles and publication of a certain
newspaper called the Nippu Jill where
as it afirmatively appears on the face
OF the bill that only four people, to
wit Sega, Negoro, Tasak and Kawa-
kami are editors of that paper.
