WINDER v. DIFFENDERFFER.—2 BLAND. 155
this company not only have a right, but that it is their duty to ex-
tend the canal into the port of Washington, as being the most
* central, and the chief port or pool of that space of tide in 166
the District of Columbia,'specified by their Act of incorpor-
ation, as the point of its eastern termination. And consequently
that all expenditures of the corporate funds, in order to carry it
down into the port of the City of Washington, at Eock Creek, or
elsewhere within that port, are legitimate, and cannot be prohibi-
ted by injunction.
Upon the whole. I feel perfectly well satisfied, from the facts and
circumstances disclosed by these pleadings and exhibits, supposing
them to have been presented as between proper parties and in the
most correct form, that there is no ground whatever for granting,
renewing, or continuing any injunction against The Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company.
Whereupon it is ordered, that the injunction heretofore granted
in this case be and the same is hereby annulled and dissolved.
And it is further Ordered, that the attachment heretofore
awarded in this case be and the same is hereby quashed with
costs.
It appears from an inspection of the docket entries as late as
the 1st of January, 1839, that alter this order no further proceed-
ings had, up to that time, been had in this case.
