From an order that writ issue, upon the filing of a bond in the sum of one thousand dollars, defendants appeal.

Bernard J. Larkin and James M. Slattery, for appellee ; Henry D. Bottum, of counsel.
Abstract of the Decision.
1. Injunction, § 219*—when order granting injunction is conditional. An order granting an interlocutory injunction “upon the filing of a bond therein in the sum of $1,000,” is merely a conditional order whereof the condition remains unexecuted until the bond is filed.
2. Injunction, § 385*—when order will he reversed because informally entered. An order granting an interlocutory injunction “upon the filing of a bond therein in the sum of $1,000” which does not require the injunction to become operative within the time limited for taking an appeal therefrom is informally entered, and on appeal from such order when no bond has been filed and no writ of injunction has issued, the appeal may not properly be dismissed, but the order will be reversed because informally entered.
