Appeals — Review — Order refusing preliminary injunction — Abuse of discretion.
An order discharging a rule for a preliminary injunction on the ground that there is not sufficient evidence to warrant a decision in favor of either party and the case should go to a final hearing, will be affirmed on appeal, where examination of the testimony fails to establish an abuse of discretion.

Argued May 21, 1934.
The record in this appeal discloses a controversy between two factions of the congregation of St. Gregory Armenian Apostolic Church. The matter was partially heard in the court below on a rule for a preliminary injunction. The trial judge, after hearing the evidence presented, stated in substance there was not sufficient evidence to warrant a decision in favor of either party and that the case should go to a final hearing. The rule for a preliminary injunction was discharged. An examination of the testimony justifies the action of the trial judge and fails to establish an abuse of discretion.
Appeal dismissed, costs to await final determination of the proceedings.
