Crandall v. Woods
California Supreme Court
Crandall v. Woods, 6 Cal. 449 (Cal. 1856)
Heydenfeldt
Crandall v. Woods
Opinion of the Court
Mr. Chief Justice Murray and Mr. Justice Terry concurred.
When the county judge exercises the power given him by statute of granting an injunction upon a bill filed in the District Court, his act is auxiliary to the jurisdiction of that Court, and must have the same force
The appeal in this case being well taken, it is conceded that the answer denies all the equity of the bill, if it has any, and therefore the order was improvidently granted, and is here reversed.

- The granting an injunction by a county judge on a bill filed in the District Court, is auxiliary to the action of that Court, and has the same force and effect, for all intents and purposes, as if it were the direct act of the latter. Such an order may therefore be appealed from, in the same manner as if made by the District Court. Where the answer to a bill for an injunction denies all the equity, if any, of the bill, a preliminary injunction should not be granted.
