said, that the injunction was irregular, or rather a nul-
lity, not by reason of anything irregular on the face of
it, or in the proceedings themselves, but because they
were coram non judice; because the Chancellor was
rendered incapable by interest of hearing the motion;
and because the bill was not regularly preferred, as it
ought to have been, not to the Chancellor, but to the
Queen. But these questions are also questions of
which, we apprehend, in a Chancery suit, the Chan-
cellor, and the appellate Court to which there is regu-
larly an appeal from the Chancellor, viz. the House of
Lords, are the sole judges; for whatever may be the
rule in courts of law as to the degree of incapacity con-
ferred on a judge by interest, or as to the authority to
which a complaint, which would lie to that judge if not
interested, ought to be made if he is interested, it does
not follow that the same rule prevails in courts of

not, of course, the mere application for a writ, if the facts
were not known, but the application on the supposition
that a Court of law can, or at least will, deal with the
case substantially—that is, with the question whether
Mr. Dimes ought to be liberated or not*. No doubt
the writ is obtainable in reference to a commitment by
any authority; but the real question that the Court of
Queen's Bench will be asked to determine is, whether the
decretal order made by the Lord Chancellor, restraining
Mr. Dimes from doing the acts specified in the injunc-
tion, was valid and proper: for nothing can be clearer
than that, if that order was a valid and proper order,
the Lord Chancellor had authority to commit Mr.
Dimes for a breach of it, which was a contempt of
Court the mode of enforcing an order of the Court, or
of punishing contempt of its order, being, according to
its long-settled practice, the committal of the party
guilty of the contempt. The committal could, there-equity; and the judges of the common law, in deciding
fore, only be unlawful if there was no order, or no
valid order, for an injunction. Now, has a Court of
law jurisdiction, or, which comes to the same, has it
ever exercised or will it exercise jurisdiction, to deter-
mine on the validity of a decree or decretal order made
by the Court of Chancery?

We have always conceived, that, if there is any rule
of jurisdiction that may be called well settled, it is, that
no Court will directly question the validity of the order
of another Court of superior or equal jurisdiction. To
this rule the Court of Chancery strictly adheres, in the
exercise even of its extraordinary jurisdiction of restrain-
ing proceedings in other courts by injunction, in doing
which, it never assumes to question the legal validity
of any order of another Court, but only to question the
equitable right of a party to avail himself of it. But in
the case brought, or possibly to be brought, before the
Court of Queen's Bench, the Court will not be asked
whether, admitting the validity of the Chancellor's in-
junction, the Grand Junction Canal Company can be
in any manner prevented by a Court of law from using
it, but it will be asked to discharge Mr. Dimes out of
custody, on the ground that his commitment by the
Chancellor was unlawful; the lawfulness, or, in other
words, the validity of the injunction, must therefore be
the direct subject of inquiry. We apprehend a Court
of law has no jurisdiction to make such an inquiry;
but, if it had the jurisdiction, technically speaking,
has it the means of prosecuting the inquiry? The
principles on which injunctions are granted are purely
equitable; they are, we conceive, judicially known only
to the equity judges; indeed, the Courts of law have
specifically repudiated the possession of the jurisdiction
to grant them; and how can they have judicial know-
ledge of a law which they say they have no jurisdiction
to carry into effect?

To ascertain whether the Chancellor's injunction was
valid, the Court of Queen's Bench would require to hear
the motion for it re-argued; in other words, to rehear it,
by way of appeal from the Chancellor. But then it is

* Since these observations were written and printed, the
Court of Queen's Bench has heard argument on the return to
the writ, which was so framed as not to bring the real question
before the Court. Possibly an attempt may yet be made to do
so; and the foregoing observations are therefore still appli-
cable.

these questions, would be, in effect, deciding what are
the procedure and practice of Courts of equity-a sub-
ject on which, we conceive, they can have judicially
no knowledge.

We await, with some curiosity, the sequel of the
application in question, which, we confess, appears to
us simply an attempt to appeal from the Lord Chan-
cellor to the Court of Queen's Bench, instead of ap-
pealing to the regular Court of appeal from the Chan-
cery, which is the House of Lords.
