Head Matter:
Bellin & Wood vs. Raymond J. Chase
Eq. No. 10937.
July 21, 1931.
Por complainant: Prank N. Beilin.
For respondent: Joseph C. Cawley, F. J. Barlow.

Opinion:
CHURCHILL, J.
Heard on prayer for a preliminary injunction.
The only point raised by the respondent in this case is that the agreement for liquidated damages in case the respondent should breach his covenant not to engage in business ousts the jurisdiction of equity.
The great weight of authority is to the contrary.
