Beveridge v. Lacey ( 1824 )

Judge Cabell,

delivered the opinion of the Court.^*

It is not the province of a Court of Equity, to correct abuses merely public. It interferes on the ground of private injury only. There is, in the present case, no such injury, either actually sustained, or justly apprehended.

The decree is therefore reversed, and the bill dismissed.

* Judges Brooke and Carr, absent.
