XV INJUNCTIONS PERTAINING TO CONTRACTS Where defendant made a
parol contract with plaintiff to sell to it all its coal tar at a certain price,
and after part performance, defendant refused to deliver more at the stipu-
lated price it was held, under the circumstances of the case, that plaintiff
was entitled to an injunction to restrain defendant trom otherwise disposing
of the subject matter of the contract Eq Gas Co v Coal Tar Co 63 Md
287 The breach of a contract which cannot be specifically enforced will
not be restrained by injunction but where it can be enforced the Court will
interfere, though the negative obligation not to otherwise dispose of the
material may be only implied from the positive terms of the agreement Ibid

Where a husband made an agreement for himself and wife that his wife
should perform at a certain theatre during a certain period, &c equity will
not enjoin the wife from performing at another theatre nor her husband
from permitting her to change her residence, nor another manager from
giving hei employment within the term. Upon such a contract, affirmative
in all its provisions the execution of which could not be specifically en-
, forced, equity cannot be asked to engraft a negative stipulation and restrain
its breach by injunction Button v Marshall, 4 Gill, 487, note When the
object of a bill is to obtain specific performance of a contract and an injunc-
tion is prayed for only to protect the subject of the contract against the
wrongful acts of the defendant pending the contest, and is ancillary to
specific performance the injunction cannot be maintained unless the case
presented by the bill would authorize the Court to enforce the contract

thereof together with the right to use the same name, and covenanted that
he would not, at any time thereafter, carry on in the City of Baltimore, the
trade of a djer nor compete in said business with the vendees afoiesaid, it
was held 1 That this covenant was valid, not being too comprehensive in
its restriction, and its violation would be restrained by injunction 2 That
the resumption of business in the name of the son was a breach of the cove
nant of the father, the allegation of the bill which must be taken as true,
being that the name of the bon was used as a mere cover to conceal the inte-
rest of the father Guerand v Bandelet, 32 Md 561
