Bmith resumed his concluding argument for the rail- ronds, . By citations from tho Constitutions ‘of other Btates, he showod that tho jurisdiction of the Buprome Cowrt in case of Injunation was as indeflnitoly oxpressed as in tho Wisconsin Constitution; and, by rulings of tho various Supromo Courts, proved that they naver had talion original jurisdiction of an in- junction, The dofondants desired tho Court to decido tho quostion whother the Goporal Rail- road law, under which recent ‘companica bad boen organized, could bo amendod by s spocinl onsciment of such o law a8 tho = Potter net. Ho would also propound to the Court the question. the Court had nsked of Lho counsol, Why wss mjunction named among the writs within the provines of the Suprowe He could not auswer the quostion any more then ho could tell why trial by jury was also connected with tho Buprome Court In the snme Constitution, when it 18 known that such s thing nover was heard of, and nevor was intonded, Roforring to public soutiment regarding tho Pottor law, Gon. Smith said no statute law can bo onforced unless it moats the gonoral appro-~ bation of “ihe public. Tho ~siatuto lns boon in force since April 28, and every man dis~ eatiafied with the ratas charged,or knowa of any- ouo so diseatiafled, has boon at liberty to bring auit for tho penaltics, yot throughout the Btato, oxcopt in a fow fustauces, where under upuclni proceraes, j 3 THERE JMAVE NOT DREN SUTFICIENT COMPLAINTS to wnauut to au nxgreuukuu of public apivion in its favor, .

Loginning with .0 eursory. roview of tho nrgumonis on hehalf of the dofenvo, he utoutly dofended tha exorclso of tho reserved powor vested in the Logislaturo, Tho olalm of defondant's counsel that the rail- ronds woro ossontial to tho peoplo, proved they wero monopolies, Tho power of determining how much of tho fruits of industry should bo takon into tho coffers of the mouopolics must lie somowhore, Tho railrond mavagors wore not any loss soldlsk, or any wmoro to bo trusted than othor men. It was, thoreforo, wisely provided that an umpire should bo vested with tho power, and the Legislature buiufi equnlly tho roprosent- ative of- the peoplo and tho corporstions, the powor waalodged with them, Coming to TUE QUESTION OF JUBISDICTION, the' Chiof-Justico nsked Mr, Sloan if he had found any preciso precodents to support his potition. The Cowrt had looked diligontly, and could find no casos whare in‘jmmunu wad evor issued without a bill or petition prnymfi for tho issuunco of tho writ, Tlo subject of tho juris- diation of tho Court boing discussed in the po- tition, Mr. Sloan urged that the Constitution gnv&éuflamntiou 10 thio Court, Judge Ityan—The Coustitution caunot impose impossiblo " things upon tho Court. How cau this or any other Court hesr and determine tho writ of injunction nu it oxisted at tho timo this Constitution wns made? Weo can Lar and dofermine writs of quo warranto, ba- bens corpus, mandamus, cortiorari, and of pro- hibition, though not named, We can hear and detormino thoso writs, but how can any court, understanding tho word injunction ns used in tho souso in whick it i8 neod in English jurispru- deuco, hear aud determine a writ of injunction ? Atty-Gon, Sloan—It does mob siriko mo that the phraso in the Copstitution is any more applicabla to hoaring and dotermining tho writ of quo warranto any moro n&-:pwpflntaly than the tho writ of injunction. You really hear the subject matter of tho writ. I caonot e why you may not hoar and dotormina a writ of in- Junotion za woll a8 n writ of quo warraoto. Judgo Ryan~Ts tho oporation of that phraso in the Constitution giving this ono writ to tho Court which novor beforo was a jurisdictional writ, and_clasalng it with o numbor of other writs, which wore” jurisdictional writs, and ara casontinlly fo 7 Ts'th offcct of that phraso to mako the writ of injunction n jurisdictional writ? Attorney-Goeneral—Undonbtedly, I think, in tho sonso that it gives this Conrt jurisdiction ovfi it. It fs botha romedial and proventive wri Judge Ryan—The difforonco is thia, ‘I atata it frankly, us it I8 in our minds: If you como hora with n statemont of facts, vorified by afildavit, without plondings Mod in tho cnso at all, to put tho case on motion, by your motlon ore tenus at tho Lar, we will givo yoii a writ of quo warranto, or cortiorari, bocauso thoso writs aro jurisdic- tional writs, and this Court has jurisdiction to isuuothom,andncodsno ploa whutovor toput them in motion. Thore iy ono ense inEngland where actually, without afiidavit, on mero ox parto mo- tion, i open court, the Court issuod n wrt of hubens corpus, As soon s tho facts were mado 0 appear, tho Court issucd tho writs, But it is not o, as I undorstand it, with injunctious, You must firat filo your ploadings, aud iu that ploading show a cnso of oquitablo jurisdiction, pray for tho issuanco of the writ dopondent upon the equitable jurlediction of tho Court over the matter, the writ bolug by all authori- tios puroly dlserotlonary with the Oourt, The ~ Court assumoes Jurisdietion, not upon your affidavits, but upon the power inhoront in tho Court of issuing tho writ. Wo liave no doubt that this Court hus original juris- diction of all tho writs named horo which aro urfudictional writs, The difficully in our minds 4, wo do not mi‘lecl‘tbn word injunction ua a sur- plus word at ail.

Through- ot tho entiro Constitution, excaept that word injunction, thera Is no original juriadiction con- forrod upon this Oourt betwoen individunls, Now, oxaiuding Al ariginal Juriediotion in this Court betwoen individu which includes cor- rations, of courso, over individuals in cases of nw and equity, why wea ft tho Constitution, ii your construction, gavo thnt ainglo {urlnvficdon not foundod on tho nature of tho litigation, but on the naturs of “the peouliar writ which should bo a romedy forit ?
