Norfolk Southern Railroad v. Rapid Transit Co.

141 S.E. 882, 195 N.C. 305, 1928 N.C. LEXIS 72

Opinion

Staoy, C. J.

The facts are in dispute; they can be determined only by a jury. A continuous trespass may be enjoined, without an allegation of insolvency. C. S., 844; Kinsland v. Kinsland, 188 N. C., 810, 125 S. E., 625; Cobb v. R. R., 172 N. C., 58, 89 S. E., 807. . And where it can do no harm to grant the injunction, and a refusal is likely to subject one of the parties to further litigation, cost and trouble, the court will ordinarily interfere by orders until the facts can be found and the way made clearer. McCorkle v. Brem, 76 N. C., 407. See, also, D. L. & W. R. R. Co. v. Morristown, U. S., decided 20 February, 1928.
