ID ENJOIN‘TIGER' Ruling Brings the Order of In junction Within Rule Already Established. The Supreme Court F'riday in the case of Watkins against Wilkersoa, from the Superior Court of Floyd, af firmed tj’e ruling of Judge Moses Wright, with directions and modifi cations, fixing the limits within which Superior Courts may enjoin “blind tigers” as nuisances. The ruling brings the order of in junction within the rule established by the Court in the Cassidy Case from Macon, which is that these “blind vi gors” may be permanently enjoined as nuisances onl. after a .jury bear ing. Temporary injunctions may bo granted for the purposes of interloc u tory hearings, but questions of fact must not be adjudicated by judges finally in such proceedings. The court also held that for dg purposes of injunction nuisances must be located with a reasonable de gree of certainty, and that part of Judge Wright's injunction whh ii sought to restrain Watkins from op erating in the place complained of “and elsewhere” is modified by strik ing the word “elsewhere.” As the o**- der stands of permanent record, it re strains Watkins merely from “selling liquor” in any circumstances, but leaves the matter of determining whether he is or has been selling is a question of fact for jury settle ment.
