Syllabus

<p>1. Equity Jurisdiction and Relief— Remedy at Law. — Where there are conflicting claims to personal property, possessing no pretium affectio-nis, the remedy is adequate at law, and equity will not take cognizance of the case, though one of the parties be a trustee, claiming the property under a trust deed. Sheppards v. Turpin, 3 Gratt. 357.</p> <p>2. Idem — Injunction—Irreparable Injury. — Where irreparable injury is imminent, against which there is no adequate protection at law and which is not compensable in damages, equity will take jurisdiction by injunc- ■ tion. The bill must set up the facts which exhibit the imminence and irreparableness of the injury.</p> <p>3. Idem — Injunction — • Dissolution. — Where the answer denies all the grounds of equity set up in the bill, and those grounds are unsustained by proof, the injunction must necessarily be dissolved. Hogan v. Duke, 20 Gratt. 344.</p>
