If the circumstances of a case are such as would make it the duty of one court in this country to restrain a party from instituting proceedings in another court here, they will also warrant it in imposing on him a similar restraint with regard to proceedings in a foreign court.
The fact of a foreigner having property in this country, enables the Court here to make effectual an injunction issued to him; but, especially in the case of a foreigner who seeks no assistance from the courts here, the issuing of such injunction ought clearly to be shown to be required as conducive to justice.
