New Jersey Court of Chancery, 1866

Carr v. Weld

Carr v. Weld
New Jersey Court of Chancery · Decided May 15, 1866
18 N.J. Eq. 41

Counsel

Defendant, pro se, in support of the motion., Mr. J. Wilson, contra.

Carr v. Weld

Opinion of the Court

The Chancellor.

The answer of E. A. Poole, and Mary Elizabeth his wife, which latter is the real defendant in point of interest, is both formally and substantially defective j it simply avers that the facts stated in a paper, which is called the answer of E. I). Weld in this cause, are substantially correct as far as they are concerned. Comment on such an answer would be superfluous. Besides, their answer was sworn to before the answer of E. D. Weld was sworn to or filed, and therefore before it had any existence as an answer; it was the draft of an answer, subject to alteration and correction.

Even if there was a full denial of the equity of the bill correctly before the court, this is one of the cases in which the discretion always exercised in such matters, should induce the court to retain the injunction until the final hearing.

The case is by no means free from suspicion, and were the injunction dissolved, the complainant might lose all remedy.

The motion is denied.
