Atkinson, Justice.

1. “The granting and continuing of injunctions shall always rest in the sound discretion of the judg'e, according to the circumstances of each case. The power shall be prudently and cautiously exercised, and except in clear and urgent cases should not be resorted to.” Code, § 55-108. A judgment denying an injunction will not be disturbed by the Supreme Court when it appears that the decision of the judge was based on conflicting evidence, and that there was no abuse of discretion. Hightower v. Lane, 114 Ga. 348 (40 S. E. 238). Under the pleadings and the evidence, this ease comes within the rule just stated. The discretion of the judge in refusing an interlocutory injunction will not be disturbed.

Hill v. McBurney Oil & Fertilizer Co., 112 Ga. 788, 793 (38 S. E. 42, 52 L. R. A. 398).
