1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
Mr. Justice Woods.
This action was brought by W. G. Childs to enjoin the city of Columbia from cutting off his water supply or charging him a water rate alleged to be exorbitant, discriminatory and unreasonable. Judge Shipp, on September 28, 1910, made a temporary restraining order, in which the city was required to show cause why an injunction should not be granted. On hearing the return of the city, Judge Shipp refused to enjoin it and rescinded the restraining order. The appeal is from this order refusing the injunction.
