This is a suit brought by appellant to enjoin appellees, who form the commissioners’ cоurt of Calhoun county, “from opening the polls * * * and counting the votes cast thereon оf a certain local 'option liquor election,” "and from mailing an order declaring the result of said election,” and “from causing the publicаtion of the order of the сourt declaring the result and prohibiting the sale of liquors.” The mаtter was heard in chambers in De Witt county by the district judge, and a general demurrer sustained to the pleadings, and the injunction denied.
This appeal cаnnot he sustained unless it was taken from an interlocutory ordеr refusing a temporary injunctiоn, as provided in article 4644, Rеv. Stats. The pleadings in this case did not seek a temporаry writ of injunction, but the prayer is fоr a permanent injunction. It has been held in some states аnd is found in the chancery practice of others, that a temporary writ or restraining оrder will not be granted unless spеcifically prayed for in the bill. Savage v. Parker,
“Obviоusly this prayer cannot be hеld to relate both to a restraining order, or temporary injunction, and to a perрetual injunction, and, to say the least of it, it is left in doubt as to which was intended. That it is irregular and imрroper to grant a prеliminary or temporary injunction or restraining order, unless [it] is specifically prayed for in thе bill. See equity rule 25. * * * ”
See, also, Beach on Injunctions, § 132. An injunction will not be granted under a prayer 'for general relief. ‘
The cause will be dismissed.
