82 CHANCERY. [ART, 16.

53. If any person against whom an attachment has issued
under either of the preceding sections, shall satisfy the court
that no waste has been committed since the service of the injunc-
tion, he shall be discharged with his costs.

54. Whenever an application shall be made by an executor or
administrator for an injunction to stay proceedings at law, the
court may, in its discretion, prescribe the penalty of a bond,
which shall be executed to the plaintiff at law, with security
approved by the court, before the injunction shall be granted,
and the condition of such bond shall be, to perform such order or
decree as the court shall finally pass in the cause on the hearing
of both parties; and whenever an injunction is obtained by an
executor or administrator, on filing a bill and executing a bond
as aforesaid, the court shall have full power and discretion to
decree against such executor or administrator, as equity and
good conscience shall seem to require.

55. In all cases where a sheriff, or other officer, is prevented
by an injunction from selling personal property taken in execu-
tion, he shall deliver back the property taken in execution to the
party from whom it was taken, and shall not be answerable to the
plaintiff at law on account of the same.

JURISDICTION.

56. The judges of the several judicial circuits, the judge of the
Circuit Court for Baltimore city, and the judge of the Superior
Court of Baltimore city, shall each, in his respective circuit,
have and exercise all the power, authority and jurisdiction
which the Court of Chancery had at the adoption of the present
Constitution.

57. Each of the circuit judges may grant injunctions, or pass
orders or decrees in equity, at any place in his circuit, to take
effect in any part of his circuit, and may require in writing the
original papers in any case, or abstracts and transcripts to be
produced before him, wherever he may be in his circuit.

58. Whenever lands lie partly in one county and partly in
another, or partly in a county and partly in the city of Balti-
more, or whenever persons proper to be made defendants to pro-
ceedings in chancery reside some in one county and some in
another, or some in a county and some in the city of Baltimore,
