Last Friday, Thomas J. Keech, Nelson J. Keyer, Geoige F. AUruendinger, and Aloses Seabolt, by City Attorney Kearney, presented a bilí of complaiot to Judge Kinne in chancery, asking for an ir junction restraining Jauaes L. Gilbert, Morton F. Case and James M. Kress from presenting bilis for expenses in fighting the Ann Arbor charter in Lansing. As ij well kuown, the board of supervisor?, last January. vo'.ed to allow those gentlemen $2 per day and expendes while they nrght be engnped in lobbying against the charter. Mr. Kre.-s has taken but litlle if any part in the lobbying, but Messrs. Gilbert and Case have speut a good dea! of time in Lansing, and are said to have had a pleasant vacation. Their bilis are said to amount to $100, and it is impudently expected that Ann Arbor shall help pay tbem. . The coolness ol the proposition it something astonishing. As the coauiy clerk had authority to draw warrants for the junketing trip bilis as soon as they were presented, the injunction is probably jast in time. He is restrained from doing so, the lobbyists must not present the bilis, nor can the county treasurer pay the warrents should they be preented ta him. After reciling the aotion of the board of supervisors, the bill of complaint avers itis "contrary to equity and good conscience and tends to the manifest wrong and injury of your orators." They deny that the board of supervisors had auihority under the consütution and laws of this S:ate to take fuch action. l
