Syllabus

<p>Appeal — Final Order.</p> <p>Complainant, having obtained an injunction against the maintenance of certain suits in a state court affecting its water rights and right to cut off service in order to coerce payment of back debts, filed a bill, the object of which was to have defendants made parties to the original bills, and to obtain against them a perpetual injunction restraining further prosecution of certain suits which defendants had brought in a state court for the same purpose. Held, that a order modifying a temporary restraining order against defendants, so as to permit them to prosecute their suits in the state court with reference to questions not determined in the prior proceedings, but not determining the cause on the merits nor ordering that the bill or motion be dismissed, was not a final order from which an appeal could be taken.</p> <p>[Ed.
