4 Kan. 223 | Kan. | 1867
In November, 1865, the defendant in error filed her petition for divorce and alimony, and praying for a temporary injunction.' The injunction was granted.
The plaintiff in error moved to discharge the injunction, because of the insufficiency of the petition and affidavit. This motion was heard at chambers on the 14th day of December, at which time, the agreed case shows that the judge “quashed the affidavit,” and continuing the injunction, gave the defendant in error until the 18th to amend her affidavit, at which time further time was given, till the 20th, when the amended affidavit was filed, and the injunction so modified as to discharge it as to part of the property, and continue it as to the residue. If this statement of the case shows a somewhat anomalous set of proceedings, it is not because 'this court has misunderstood the record.
Neither the petition nor either of the affidavits are shown in the record, and if this court has jurisdiction of the case, there is nothing for it to do in the matter.
The presumption is, that there was sufficient showing at the last hearing, to authorize the order of injunction. As there is no complaint' as to that order, as presented in the record, it must be taken as the granting of a new injunction upon proper grounds, and we can make no order whatever in the case. Nor are we disposed to comment on the alleged irregularity of the proceedings. Whatever may be our opinion of the propriety of an order “quashing an affidavit,” upon a motion to discharge an injunction or continuing an injunction without an affidavit, we cannot in this case enforce our views by any appropriate order. We cannot direct the discharge of the injunction, because we must, in
If has been suggested that this court has no jurisdiction of this matter. (See §16 of Oh. 81, Comp. L.) This section must be deemed conclusive,, as to the whpt of jurisdiction of this court, and would of itself, Require the dismissal of the cause, in this court.
