456 FEDEEAL REPOBTER. �eaid iudgment and levied upon the only property of said Schwed & Newhouse within the state of Missouri, to-wit, a stock of watches and jewelry, and that attachments in favor of plaintiffs have been levied upon the same property. After the uling of the bill in the state court, and after all the defend- ants had appeared, a motion for a temporary injunction to restrain the execution of said judgment -was heard by that court, and an injunction allowed to remain in force until a final hearing of the cause. Afterwards the cause was removed to this court. The defendants here move to dissolve the injunction granted by the state court upon grounds which will now be considered. �1.

No doubt this court may, upon proper showing, in a case removed, vacate or modify an injunction allowed in the case by the state court, and before removal; but such ��� �
