98 Miss. 649

Smith v. Holifield

Mississippi Supreme Court

Decided October 15, 1910

Mississippi Supreme Court · decided 1910-10-15

Hon. Sam Whitman, Chancellor. Bill for temporary injunction filed by W. W. Holifield against W. J. Smith. From a decree for complainant, defendant appeals. The facts are fully stated in the opinion of the court. I fail to see how, on the proof in this case the chancellor was warranted in finding that the injunction- was rightfully sued out, or that this was a case for injunctive relief at all.

Relies on Frederick and Samuel Barnard and Henry Hawley v. John Gibson · Wilson v. Pugh

Decided 1910-10-15

Smith, J.,

¶1delivered the opinion of the court.

¶2Appellee, by his bill filed in the court below, sought and obtained a temporary injunction restraining appellant from cutting timber alleged to be the property of appellee, and prayed for an accounting for the value of timber previously cut. By the decree of the court below, appealed from, this injunction was made perpetual, and a master appointed to ascertain and report to the court the amount of damages sustained by appellee by reason of the cutting of his timber. This is an interlocutory and not a final decree, and consequently, if an appeal lies therefrom, it must be taken within the time and in the manner provided by section 35 of the Code of 1906. Wilson v. Pugh, 61 Miss. 449; Barnard v. Gibson, 7 How. 650, 12 L. Ed. 857; Richmond v. Atwood, 52 Fed. 10, 17 L. R. A. 615.

¶3This not having been done, the appeal is dismissed.
