XVI. INJUNCTIONS IN CASES BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT, As to re-
straining waste by a tenant see this note supra, sec. II. A sub-lessee may
be restrained from violating the stipulations in the original lease, without
making the lessee a party. Maddox v. White, 4 Md. 72. A tenant con-
structed certain marine railways at great expense upon the demised prem-
ises, with the knowledge of his landlord. The tenant held under a lease
from year to year and repeatedly asked his landlord for a more permanent
lease who as often refused, and afterwards gave notice to quit. Held, that
the tenant had no equity to an injunction to restrain the landlord from pro-
ceeding to gain possession. West v. Flannagan, 4 Md. 36. Where a tenant
fails or refuses to re-deliver possession, or being a trespasser so refuses, or
being in possession under a contract of renting, refuses to pay the rent due,
the remedy is at law and not in equity by injunction. Hubbard v. Mobray,
20 Md. 165. A landlord cannot maintain a bill for an injunction and receiver
against his tenant merely because the latter is a bad manager and insolvent.
Blain v. Everitt, 36 Md.. 82.
A bill by the assignee of the original lessee of property for an injunction
to restrain the landlord from proceeding by distraint to collect certain rent
claimed by him to be due, charged that the rent had been paid to the land-
lord by his lessee as was evidenced by an account furnished by the former
to the latter. The account was not exhibited with the bill, nor was a reason
given for its non-production. The injunction issued as prayed. On appeal,
held, 1. That to support the averment of payment the account should have
been exhibited or some satisfactory reason assigned for its non-production,
and in the absence of such prima facie proof the injunction ought not to
have been granted. 2. That the injunction ought not to have been granted
because complainant had a full, adequate and complete remedy at law by
an action of replevin, or of trespass, or by a special action on the case, and
by a suit against his assignor for a breach of the contract to pay the rent.
Banks v. Busey, 34 Md. 437. Injunction to restrain landlord from tearing
down the demised premises refused. Johnston v. Glenn, 40 Md. 200. In-
junction to prevent tenant from removing fixtures refused. Gallagher v.
Shipley, 24 Md. 427.
XVII. MISCELLANEOUS CASES. Equity has jurisdiction to grant an in-
junction restraining defendant from disposing of a single bill, purporting
to be the single bill of complainant and alleged by him to be a forgery.
Dennison v. Fost, 61 Md. 140. The specific legatee of a chattel of peculiar
value has an equity to restrain the executor, who is also the heir-at-law,
from applying that chattel to the payment of debts for the purpose of pro-
tecting his inheritance, the creditors being passive and content to take pay-
ment out of either fund. Alexander v. Worthington, 5 Md. 472.
Injunction granted at the instance of remainder-man to prevent life-tenant
of personal property from removing it from the State. Somerville v. John-
son, 1 H. & McH. 348. Cf. Abercrombie v. Riddle, 3 Md. Ch. 331. Injunction
