Without attempting to discuss at length the principles of law governing the issuance of injunctions, it may be well to bear in mind the following general propositions in considering the instances and authorities about to be reviewed. § 1008. Definition of injunction.- An injunction is a writ issued out of a court of original jurisdiction in pursuance of an order theretofore entered, either restraining the party or parties named therein from doing the things specified in the writ, or commanding the party or parties named therein to do the things specified; or the writ may both restrain and command. From the definition it is apparent that the order granting the injunction, together with the writ, must be carefully framed, since it embraces only the parties named therein and commands or forbids only the acts specified therein. The writ should. follow the order of the court, and should be no broader than the relief complainant is entitled to under the bill filed. Both the order of the court and the writ may refer to the bill for a more complete description of the matters and things commanded or forbidden, but such practice is not advisable, and in every such case it must clearly appear that knowledge of the contents of the bill has been brought home to the defendant, otherwise he is not guilty of violating the injunction if he does things not specifically enumerated in the writ. The language of the writ will be construed in connection with the allegations and prayer of the bill and the subject-matter of the suit. 1009. Personal in effect. The writ of injunction is personal in effect, and to become effective knowledge of the issuance of the order upon which the writ was founded must be brought home to the parties affected thereby.
