Syllabus

<p>1. Ne exeat—not allowed when complete remedy exists at law. A writ of ne exeat will not be granted where it appears from the petition that a complete remedy may be had at law.</p> <p>2. Chancery—will not necessarily take cognizance of a case because it may. Because a court of equity may take cognizance of a case it does not necessarily follow that it will. Equity powers ought not to be invoked unless it appears that a court of law can not afford sufficient remedy.</p>
