courts of equity will restrain a party from further litigation ,
by a writ of injunction ;
for example ,
after two verdicts on trials at bar ,
in favor of the plaintiff ,
a perpetual injunction was decreed .

And not only between two individuals will a court of equity grant this relief ,
as in the above case of several ejectments ,
but also ,
when one general legal right ,
as a right of fishery ,
is claimed against several ,
distinct persons ,
in which case there would be no end of bringing actions ,
since each action would only bind the particular right in question ,
between the plaintiff and defendant in such action ,
without deciding the general right claimed .
