Carter v. Cockrill & Rogers

Opinion of the Court

(in the absence of the president,) Judge Roane pronounced the opinion of the court, “ that the remedy of the appellees (if it existed) might have been asserted in a court of law; and this court not being satisfied* if th¡3 were not the case, that a court of equity ought to afford them relief, against the effect of an engagement entered into- with a full knowledge of all the circumstances, reverses the decrees of both courts, dissolves the injunction, and dismisses the bill.”
