Concurring and Dissenting Opinion by
Judge Mencer :
I concur in the dismissal of the appeal to No. 949 C.D. 1971 from the order entered to No. 111 January Term, 1972, Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, for the reason that the chancellor had reasonable grounds for refusing to grant the requested preliminary injunction.
I dissent to the dismissal of the appeal to No. 600 C.D. 1971 from the order entered to No. 246 October Term, 1971, Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County. I hold the opinion that the unfortunate impasse that has existed between the police trial court and the Mayor has not created the irreparable harm necessary to warrant the issuance of a preliminary injunction.
Further, I would resist the call of the parties to pass upon the substantive legal issues involved in these cases on appeals from the granting and refusal to grant a *378preliminary injunction. Our scope of review is limited to the narrow issue of whether the chancellor had reasonable grounds for his action. McMullan v. Wohlgemuth, 444 Pa. 563, 281 A. 2d 836 (1971).
