Injunction granted by Judge r. II
Cardwell, OF the Court OF Appeals, en-
Joining and restraining the sale as a
whole of twenty-nine lots of the prop
erty Of the Centre Hill Corporation.
This motion to dissolve was made yes
terday imm ediately after Judge Card

evening: Judge Mullen refused to dis
solve the Injunction, which remains
effective until September 5, and con-
uHued all matters connected with the
