The  Master  of  the  RoLiis.  April.
This  is  a  motion  for  an  injunction  to  prevent  the
Defendants  from  employing  the  funds  of  the  company
in  obtaining  powers  from  parliament  foreign  to  the
objects  and  purposes  of  the  company  as  originally
established.
This  is  the  principal  object  of  the  motion,  but  besides
this,  the  Plaintiff,  on  the  same  grounds,  seeks  to  restrain
the  company  from  employing  steam-boats  for  the  con-
veyance of  goods  and  passengers  beyond  the  limits  of
the  railway.  The  first  object  mentioned  is  the  most
important,  because,  if  the  bill  which  the  company  is
DOW  soliciting  in  parliament  should  pass  into  an  act,  it
will  enable  the  company  to  perform  all  the  acts  at  pre*
sent  complained  of,  which  the  Plaintiff  seeks  to  restrain,
and  the  injunction  for  the  latter  object,  if  granted,  could
only  operate  for  a  few  months.
