pied by the appellees, or to do an act that will occasion :njury to any considerable extent. Thedamages,if any, to which the appellees can' lawfully lay claim, are certainly very small, if not purely nominal. We recognize the rule that legal 'rights of every description are entitled to protection, no matter howslllall their money value may he, but a 'court of equity is not bound to afford protection by an unconditional order of injunction, when adequate relief may be afforded in Bome other manner, whether the right involved is of great or little value.

We are of the opinion that the' circuit eourt would' have gone quite far enough in the case at bar, had it required the appe+Iant to give a bond in a 8um, not exceeding $2,500, conditioned to pay snch damages. if any, as the complainants below might thereafter be adjudged to be entitled to, by any court of competent jurisdiction, in consequence of the allegedadditionaJ.. servitude imposed or tbrel:'ltened to be imposed on its right of way. Entertaining these views, the order of injunction appealed from is bereby vacated and annulled, the existing injunction it dl8sd1ved,the cause is remanded to the lower court, with directions to take a bond for the protection of the appellees not exceeding the amount. and with conditions as above indicated.
