Syllabus

<p>Equity — Equity practice — Preliminary injunction — Mandatory injunction.</p> <p>On a bill in equity to prevent encroachment on a street where it appears that the defendants have not sought to obtain an advantage by secretly or suddenly changing their status as it was at the time the bill was filed, the court cannot in granting a preliminary injunction make a mandatory order directing the defendants to remove an addition to their house which had been practically completed at the time, and which took the place of a porch previously standing, and encroached less upon the highway than did the porch itself.</p>
