Portrait of Noah Haynes Swayne Noah Haynes Swayne French v. Hay (89 U.S. 250) — Opinion of the Court

A stronger equity can hardly exist than that which is developed in favor of the appellee in the case before us.
The order of the court below, annulling the decree upon which the suit at law in Pennsylvania was founded, was fatal to that action, and entitled Hay to a perpetual injunction, without reference to the final result of the prior case.

Portrait of Noah Haynes Swayne Noah Haynes Swayne French v. Hay (89 U.S. 250) — Opinion of the Court

The prior jurisdiction of the court below took the case out of the operation of that provision.
If the State courts should persist in proceeding-a thing not to be expected-the wrong will be on the part of those tribunals and not of the court below.
DECREE AFFIRMED.
