Michigan Central Railroad v. Long

Michigan Central Railroad v. Long
Indiana Supreme Court · Decided May 30, 1854
5 Ind. 153

Michigan Central Railroad v. Long

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

This was a bill by Long against the railroad companies above named, praying a temporary and final injunction restraining said companies from constructing their road through his homestead. The bill alleged a case of emergency as an excuse for not giving notice.

A temporary injunction was granted by the circuit judge. Appeal from the grant. There is no brief in the record.

We have looked through the bill, and think it made a case for a temporary injunction. Whether it would be perpetuated on the final hearing, it is not necessary now to inquire. The only question at present, is, did the bill make a ease for a temporary injunction?

The decree is affirmed with costs.
