Syllabus

<p>(a) A contract between a natural-gas company and the owner of a glass works provided that the former should supply gas for fuel to the latter, “ for all purposes connected with the manufacture of the wares aforesaid, .... so long as natural gas may continue to be produced from the territory now or hereafter owned or operated by” the former, “its successors or assigns: ”</p> <p>1. On a bill averring that, relying on the contract, the plaintiff’s works had been constructed for the use of natural gas only as fuel, and that the company had shut off the entire supply while the works were in operation, endangering loss incapable of accurate adjustment, it was error to refuse a preliminary injunction mandatory to the extent of restoring the status quo.*</p>
