        "text": "Mr. Justice Shepard\ndelivered- the opinion of the court.\nUpon an ex parte application the appellee obtained an interlocutory order of injunction restraining the appellants from interfering with the possession of herself and her tenants of certain described improved real estate. This appeal is for the .purpose of procuring a dissolution of such injunction. Appellee, by neglecting to appear in this court, does not interpose any defense to the injunction.\nIt may be, as argued by appellants, that the fair and proper inference from the allegations of the bill is that appellee\u2019s tenant and not herself is in possession of the premises, and that the alleged threatened trespasses are against the possessory interest only, and that therefore the bill should have been filed by the tenant, and not by the appellee as owner of the reversionary estate.\nThere is, however, an allegation of a physical injury to the premises committed by appellants, which, though slight, and perhaps not permanent in its nature, we will, for the purpose only of considering the injunction, treat as sufficient to justify the appellee\u2019s right to sustain the bill in her own name. ,\nOther and further relief than by injunction, is asked by the bill, though this appeal in no manner affects any such other relief.\nThe bill alleges in general terms that unless appellants are restrained from interfering with the possession of appellee and her tenant she will suffer irreparable injury. One act of trespass and only one is alleged. All other grounds for relief by injunction consist in general allegations of threats by appellants that they will take and keep forcible possession of the premises from appellee.\nIn -what such threats consist is not made to appear. It may be that they consist only in threats to dispossess appellee through legal process in furtherance of some lawful right which she has the right to defend against in regular course; or of a vain and empty character such as equity will not attempt to relieve against. The bill contains no allegation of the insolvency of the appellants, or any one or more of them, or of their inability to respond in damages to any amount that appellee might recover against them.\nIt thus appears-that the only grounds for equitable relief by way of injunction that the bill sets up are the allegation of irreparable injury in general terms, without any facts or circumstances stated from which irrevocable mischief may be seen to be the result of what is complained of; the single act of trespass already cbmmitted, without any allegation that it will be repeated, and the allegation of threats by appellants, in general terms, that they will take and keep possession of the premises.\nGeneral allegations of irreparable injury, without an allegation of insolvency, or inability to respond in damages to the amount of loss that may be suffered, are not enough to warrant the enjoining of a threatened trespass. \u00dcSTor is the fact of a single trespass having been committed, sufficient.\nThe rule is well stated in terms applicable to this case in Owens v. Crossett, 105 Ill. 354; Foyer v. Village of Desplaines, 123 Ill. 111; Cicero Lumber Co. v. Town of Cicero, 176 Ill. 9.\nFor anything made to appear, appellee has a complete remedy at law for everything against which the injunction is directed, and the order of injunction will therefore be reversed.",
