Richard W. Brass, Appellants v. Albert Rathbone, the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of…

Summary

The Court affirmed the dismissal of the plaintiffs' injunction action, holding that the water commissioners have statutory authority and an implied contract to shut off water for nonpayment, that the owners, not possessing the premises, lack standing to enjoin such shutoff, and that the complaint's unsubstantiated claim of irreparable injury is insufficient for equitable relief.
