344 HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY. SAMUEL 0. COCKEY MARY ANN CARROLI. AND MARCH TERM 1849 FRANCIS B. LAWRENSON. [INJUNCTION TO PREVENT TRESPASSES,] THE Court of Chancery in this state will not interfere by injunction where the injury is not irreparable and destructive to the plaintiff's estate, but is sus- ceptible of perfect pecuniary compensation, and for which the party may obtain adequate satisfaction at law. [The bill in this case was filed for an injunction to stay waste, the complainant, Cockey, being an infant and suing by David Carlisle, his guardian and next friend. The bill, in substance, alleges, that Edward A. Cockey, the father of the infant complainant, died in 1834, leaving a will, by which he devised to complainant a tract of land in Baltimore county, which he had. purchased many years before, and of which, after having long been in undisputed possession thereof, he died seized and possessed, and of which, since his death, complainant, by his said guardian, has been in the full and un- disputed possession. That defendants, Canroll & Lawrenson, occupying an adjoining farm, have, within the last few months, entered with their teams and wagons, servants, carts, &c., upon said land, and have committed, and daily persist in com- mitting, against the remonstrance and warning of his guardian and himself, the most injurious and destructive trespasses upon the said land, traveling and hauling loads over the whole breadth of the same, and cutting and removing the timber thereof, and doing the greatest and irreparable injury to com- plainant's said freehold and title by prostrating its forests and wood lands and arable lands, and removing the barriers placed there to insure the just enjoyment thereof, and to impede and prevent the incursions of said defendants, their servants, teams, &c. That he has commenced his action of trespass against them, for said wrongs and trespasses, in Baltimore County |
