Walker, City Solicitor, and Hoadly, Jackson & Johnson, contra.
Reserved to General Term. — At Special Term a motion was made by tbe defendants to dissolve a restraining order tbat bad been granted to prevent tbe use of ~Wal nut street, Cincinnati, for the car track and route of a street railroad, better known as “Route No. 9.” It was argued by the plaintiff on the ground of irremediable injury to the plaintiff* if the defendants were permitted to occupy the thoroughfare, and by the defendants that the plaintiff had no exclusive right to exert and the remedy, if any such right existed, was by action at law to recover damages. The judge, at Special Term, who heard the argument, vacated the order on condition that the defendants should enter into an undertaking, with sufficient surety to the satisfaction of the clerk, in the sum of $10,000, conditioned to indemnify and save harmless the plaintiff from all damage which might accrue and arise from the dissolution of the restraining order, as well as to comply with any order the court might subequently make.
To this order the plaintiff filed its writ of error in the General Term, which the defendants moved to dismiss.

Opinion:
Storer, J.
We are now asked to reverse the action of the court in Special Term for alleged error, and the defendants move to dismiss the writ of error, on the ground that the proceeding sought to be reversed is not such a judgment from which a writ of error will lie. The cases of Worthington v. Rogers, decided by this court November last, and Taylor et al. v. Fitch, 12 Ohio St. 169, we think decide the question. They give a legal construction to section 512 .of the Code, which defines the meaning of a final order, which in effect determines the action and prevents a judgment.
The writ of error will be dismissed and the cause remanded.
