## Opinion text

Furches, J.
In July, 1898, the plaintiff commenced a Special Proceeding against the defendant Alleghany Com
*8
pany and others, to have her lands processioned and lines established, under chapter 22, Acts 1893.
In August, 1898, and while the above-mentioned proceeding was still pending, the plaintiff applied to Brown, Jfor an injunction, based upon affidavit made in said proceeding, in which she alleged that the defendant company was committing trespasses upon her lands by cutting and carrying timber therefrom. This prayer for injunction was denied and the plaintiff appealed.
We must sustain the action of the Judge in refusing to grant the injunction prayed for, and for the reasons assigned by him. A Judge in some cases of Special Proceedings, pending before the Clerk, may grant injunctive relief, as is held in
Hunt v.
Sneed, 64 N. C., 176 , cited and approved in
Sprinkle v. Hutchinson,
66 N. C., 450 . But to authorize the Judge to issue injunctions in cases of Special Proceedings, the relief sought by the injunction must be subsidiary to the relief asked in the Special Proceedings.
Hunt v. Sneed, supra.
That could not be so in this proceeding, which gives no substantive relief — settles no rights, or titles to property, but only locates the dividing lines between the parties.
Williams v. Hughes,
at this term. So the injunction could not be in aid of any relief demanded or attainable in the Special Proceedings to locate the dividing line between the parties, under chapter 22, Acts 1893, and
Hunt v. Sneed
does not aid the plaintiff.
The judgment of the Court refusing the injunction is affirmed.
