Syllabus

<p>Equity — Jurisdiction—Continuing injury — Slander and libel.</p> <p>The right of action for a tort such as libel or slander is at law, and a bill in equity cannot be maintained to restrain it as a continuing injury, unless the complainant’s right is so clear as to be conceded, or already established by the verdict of the jury. If the complainant’s right depends on facts, the burden of proof of which is on the complainant, the case is necessarily for the jury in the first instance.</p>
