““The remedy may be inadequate because the procedure at law is too inflexible to suit the exigencies of the case, or because the relief which a common-law judgment can afford is not adaptable to the particular facts. When neither of these diflicultles are in the way, there can bo no reason for resorting to a court of equity”--citing Boyce’s Ex’rs v. Grundy, 9 Pet. 275 , 9 L. Ed. 127 ; Hipp v. Babin, 19 How. 271 , 15 L. Ed. 633 ; Parker v. Winnipiseogee, etc., Co., 2 Black. 515 , 17 L. Ed. 333 ; Insurance Co. v. Bailey, 13 Wall. 616 , 20 L. Ed. 501 ; Lewis v. Cocks, 23 Wall. 466 , 23 L.
