U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Kansas February 18, 1891 (Hemsley v. Myers)

Caldwell, J.

The bill is bad on three grounds.

1. Viewed in the light of a bill for an injunction to restrain the violation of a constitutional or common-law right, or the commission of a trespass, it fails to state a case cognizable in equity. The complainants own no property, and have no property rights to be affected.
