Feb. Ctjbiam:

On 6 November, 1908, a restraining order was issued in the case of Hefner v. The Carolina, Clinchfield and *468 Ohio Railway, pending in the Superior Court of McDowell County, enjoining the railway company above named and its agents from using a certain tramway across Hefner’s land, as well as from removing certain steel rails laid down upon a tramway over said lands. This injunction was served on 1 November, 1908.

It was for willful disobedience of this order that the proceedings for contempt were instituted before his Honor, Judge Adams, who was the successor of Judge Murphy as judge of the Fifteenth Judicial District.

We have carefully examined the findings of fact made by his Honor and the evidence introduced upon the hearing before him, and are of opinion that the findings of fact and the judgment of the court are fully warranted. The judgment is

Affirmed.
