Syllabus

<p>Corporations — Water companies — Eminent domain — Preliminary injunction — Equity.</p> <p>A water company chartered under clause 18 of the second class in section 2, of the Act of April 29, 1874, P. L. 73, is presumably a corporation for private uses which cannot constitutionally be invested with the right of eminent domain. If such a company attempts to condemn land, it will be restrained by preliminary injunction until the facts and rights of the parties are shown upon full hearing.</p>
