S.52(1) must be read as subjecting the power to grant injunctions to the subsection's limitations and injunctions in the District Court are only available ancillary to causes within its jurisdiction; a restraint on leaving the colony to secure payment of a simple debt for hotel charges is not ancillary to the substantive cause and the ex parte application was therefore beyond the Court's jurisdiction and properly dismissed, also absent sufficient evidence of urgency or defendant's presence.
