North Kingstown, 16 R. I. 15, 27 Am. St. Rep. 724, 11 Atl. 173. The court stated that it ought not to be in the power of a defendant in an injunction bill to oust the court of its jurisdiction by committing pendente lite the very act to prevent which the suit was begun. So, although, pending suit to enforce liens, the lien law under which such suit is brought is declared unconstitutional, equity will retain jurisdiction to grant a money judgment, especially where there is no reason to doubt that, when the bill was filed, the equitable right to enforce the lien was asserted in good faith, and was not a subterfuge to give jurisdiction. Cincinnati & C. Traction Co. v. American Bridge Co. 120 C. C. A. 398, 202 Fed. 184. And where, pending suit to restrain The facts are stated in the opinion. 931; Woodbury v. Marblehead Water Co. 145 Mass. 509, 15 N. E. 282. Where a defendant in an action at law is fraudulently prevented from prosecuting an appeal from the judgment rendered against him, and execution is issued and, pending suit to enjoin enforcement of the execution, the judgment a temporary injunction is paid to prevent a sale of the property levied upon, having been refused, equity will retain jurisdiction to award damages, although the equitable relief prayed for cannot be granted because of the consummation of the fraud. Everett v. Tabor, 127 Ga. 103, 119 Am. St. Rep. 324, 56 S. E. 123. And in Bigelow v. Washburn, 98 Wis. 553, 74 N. W. 362, it was held that where, pending suit to set aside a tax levy and to restrain the levy of the tax upon property, the town went ahead and levied the tax, and the property owner paid the tax in order to prevent a sale of the property, a court of equity was not ousted of its jurisdiction on the ground that an adequate remedy at law was available. Equity is not ousted of its jurisdiction a lost note by the fact of a suit on that, after the bill is filed, but before 639 Mr. Charles I. Dawson, Attorney Gen-, eral of Kentucky, in propria persona, argued the cause, and, with Mr. W. T. Fowler, filed a brief for appellants: Plaintiff below had an adequate remedy at law.

Also in Hamlin v. Hamlin, 56 N. C. (3 Jones, Eq.) 191, where an obligor on a bond had falsely stated that he had destroyed the bond, and the obligee commenced an action in equity to recover on such bond, alleging it to have been lost, it was held that the court was not ousted of its jurisdiction by the obligor's subsequently producing the bond. And in Lyttle v. Cozad, 21 W. Va. 183, it was held that a court of equity is not ousted of its jurisdiction to enforce a lost bond although, after the filing of the bill, but before the hearing, the bond is found. To the same effect is Clark v. Nickell, 73 W. Va. 69, 79 S. E. 1020, Ann. Cas. 1917A, 1286. In a suit to restrain the withdrawal of money from a bank pending determination as to the ownership thereof, jurisdiction of equity is not lost by the fact that the equitable question is eliminated by the deposit of the money in court, thus leaving the case simply an action for the recovery of money. Supreme Lodge, K. P. v. Dalzell, 205 Mo. App. 207, 223 S. W. 786. An action does not cease to be an action for the abatement of a nuisance, and within the equitable jurisdiction of the courts, because, after its commencement, the defendant, of his own motion, causes its abatement. McCarthy v. Gas 78 Pac. 7; Smith v. Ingersoll-Sargeant Rock Drill Co. 7 Misc. 374, 27 N. Y. Supp. 907; Moon v. National WallPlaster Co. 31 Misc. 631, 66 N. Y.

Y. 548, 76 N. E. 1110. So, an action to restrain the operation of a manufacturing plant in such a manner as to injure plaintiff's adjoining property, and to recover the damages already accrued, is properly brought in equity, and defendant is not entitled to have a jury trial as a matter of right, although the right to the injunction has ceased, because of the abatement of the nuisance at the time of the trial. Miller v. Edison Electric Illuminating Co. 184 N. Y. 17, 3 L.R.A. (N.S.) 1060, 76 N. E. 734, 6 Ann. Cas. 146. In Van Allen v. New York Elev. R. Co. 144 N. Y. 174, 38 N. E. 997, it was held that the fact that plaintiff, pending a suit to restrain the operation of an elevated railroad in front of his premises, sold the premises, will not deprive a court of equity of jurisdiction to award damages prior to the sale, although there was an adequate remedy at law.

And the fact that the contract has expired pending hearing in a suit to rescind will not preclude the court from retaining jurisdiction to give any relief to which the plaintiff is entitled. Raftery v. World Film Corp. 180 App. Div. 475, 167 N. Y. Supp. 1027. St. Louis, I. M. & S. R. Co. v. Williams, 251 U. S. 63, 64 L. ed. 139, 40 Sup. Ct. Rep. 71; Wadley Southern R. Co. v. a nuisance, it was held that by the expira- | tion of the lease, and by the vacation of Co. v. Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. 91 the premises before the hearing, the ground for injunction had disappeared, and defendant was entitled to a trial by jury on the question of damages, since the trial by jury had not been waived; distinguishing Van Allen v. New York Elev. R. Co. supra, as being a case where a jury trial had been waived. The court further distinguished Beedle v. Bennett, 122 U. S. 71, 30 L. ed. 1074, 7 Sup. Ct. Rep. 1090, and Clark v. Wooster, 119 U. S. 325, 30 L. ed. 392, 7 Sup. Ct. Rep. 217, cited in this note, stating that, though the Federal courts have cognizance of both equitable and legal causes, the practice and the pleadings are entirely different for each class of cases, and if a proceeding brought on the equity side of the court is not one of equitable cognizance, the cause must be dismissed and a new proceeding must be instituted at law. The court said that the Federal courts have adopted the practice disclosed by these two cases in order to avoid a multiplicity of suits, and to save both parties from the hardship of resorting to another action for the decision of a controversy in a case where, when the suit was begun, plaintiff was entitled to equitable relief, a hardship which did not exist in New York state, since there the changed conditions would only entail a shifting from the equity to the law side of the court, the trial proceeding on the same pleadings. And the fact that a tenant's right to an injunction against his landlord's interference with his enjoyment of the premises terminates pending suit by the expiration of the term will not prevent equity from retaining the suit to assess damages. Case v. Minot, 158 Mass. 577, 22 L.R.A. 536, 33 N. E. 700. So, in a suit to enforce a restriction in a deed, if the restriction expires before the final decree is rendered, damages may be assessed for the violation of the restriction while it continued in force, although the court had no jurisdiction to restrain a violation of the restriction. Langmaid v. Reed, 159 Mass. 409, 34 N. E. 593. In a suit for specific performance of a contract, performance of the contract before entry of decree, but subsequent to the filing of the bill, will not oust a court of equity of its ancillary power to decree damages.
