April Term, 1789.
MAYFIELD versus HAWKINS,
THIS was a bill of injunction granted, after a former bill of injunction for the same cause had been dismissed, for not having been served on the defendant in time; for which cause these was a plea in abatement, and on argument the court ordered the plea to be overruled.

Opinion:
Ashe, J. William, J.
that in future they would not allow such a bill to stand, without affidavit of some particular hardship, and that there is no omission on the part of the complainant.
But
Spencer, J
was clear that a second injunction might be granted, without any such circumstance of hardship.
