Hemmer v. Dunlavey
Hemmer v. Dunlavey
Opinion of the Court
The evidence introduced on the hearing of the application for a temporary injunction showed without dispute the sale of intoxicating liquors by the defendant Dunlavey in the building described, in the petition, admitted to be the property of defendant Lorenz. The grounds of resistance to the granting of an injunction were that another action in which the same relief was asked, brought by the same plaintiff against the same defendants, was pending in the same court, and that intoxicating liquors were being kept and sold on said premises in strict compliance with a foamier decree of the said court, entered in an action brought by one C. M. Thorne against the defendant Dunlavey, in which action one John J. Keane had been substituted for said Thome as plaintiff, which decree was entered on June 12, 1907.
• The pendency of another action by this same plaintiff against these defendants was pleaded in bar and by way of estoppel; but, as no injunction had been issued in that case, the pendency of such action did not deprive the court of jurisdiction to proceed. The pendency of another action is pleadable in abatement only. Code, section 3642. A writ of temporary injunction was refused by the court, “it appearing, among other matters, that a decree was entered granting a permanent injunction against the same defendants and the same premises in the action brought by Thome as plaintiff, in which Keane had been substituted.” But that decree was held subsequently to be invalid, and was annulled in a certiorari
Appellee Lorenz has transmitted to this court what purports to be a certified transcript of proceedings in the case of Keane against these defendants, above, referred to, subsequent to the time of the refusal of the trial court to grant the preliminary injunction now complained of; which it is claimed shows that the business of selling liquor is no longer conducted on the premises of defendant Lorenz. But this showing was not made in the record of this appeal; neither has it been relied upon as a ground why the appeal should be, dismissed. Indeed,, the certification of the record referred to has not in any.- proper way been made a part of the record in this case; and we can not consider it in determining this appeal. It must be presumed that the record of this appeal presents all the proceedings in the lower court necessary to be considered in determining the correctness ,of the court’s action, and for the reason pointed out the refusal to grant a preliminary injunction appears to have been erroneous.
The order of the court is therefore reversed.
