It is improper to grant an injunction where the written undertaking required by section 341 of The Code is not filed or tendered.\n2. Where there was no allegation of insolvency of the defendants, but on the contrary, there was an admission in plaintiff\u2019s affidavit that the defendants were amply able to respond in damages for any wrong done to plaintiff, it was improper to grant an injunction against defendants who cut off the water supply from premises allotted to the plaintiff as dower, and built a high fence around the same so as to close up her windows.\nMotioN for an injunction, heard before Bryan. J., at December Term, 1896, of Buxcombe Superior Court.\nJohn Wilson died in August, 1893, leaving certain property, which descended to. his only child, Clara Feather stone, and out of said property his widow (the plaintiff) was allotted her dower, the same consisting of certain lands, \u201ctogether Avith the improvements thereon.\u201d After the allotment of dower defendants built a high fence on three sides of the property so allotted, completely closing up every window on three sides of the house, and also an alley way which afforded a rear entrance to the property. They also cut off the water supply which was in the premises at the death of \"Wilson. The defendants alleged, as a reason for their action, that the plaintiff had rented the house so allotted to her to disreputable women and the fence was necessary as a protection to their own property from the nuisance adjoining.\nHis Honor granted the injunction and defendants appealed.\nMessrs. Merrimon da Merrimon, for plaintiff.\nMessrs. Jones do Barnard and T. H. Cobb, for defendants (appellants)."
