Murray F. Tuley, Judge, presiding. This was a hill in equity by plaintiffs in error against defendants in error to restrain the latter from erecting a certain building on their own premises, upon the corner of Monroe and Laflin streets, in the city of Chicago, so as to transcend a certain building line along said Monroe street said to have been irrevocably fixed by an original plat or plan duly made by the owner, who laid out the subdivision.

Per Curiam.

¶1We are of opinion that, upon the undisputed facts, the alleged right of complainants, as appurtenant to their respective lots, to have the building line in question observed by every other lot owner, is too doubtful to justify a court of equity in awarding a permanent injunction against defendants ; and that this doubt arises from the peculiar clause contained in the deeds from Laflin, through wdiich and whom, each party to the suit derives title. We have, therefore, substantially upon the grounds and for the reasons set forth and given in the opinion of the chancellor decided to affirm his decree dismissing the bill for want of equity.

¶2Decree affirmed.
