Wattenbarger v. Powers

This is an injunction bill, in the nature of an ejectment proceeding. It sought to restrain the defendants from trespassing on land claimed by complainant. The bill averred that complainant was the owner of the land it sought to protect, that defendants were cutting timber thereon, felling upon the land timber from adjoining lands, and erecting and maintaining a pipe line across complainant's land and taking water from his creek, all of which it sought to enjoin. It sought damages for the trespass, for all timber cut and removed, and prayed for specific and general relief.
