Purcell, 131 Mo. 312, 33 S. W. 13; Stephens v. Ozbourne, 107 Tend. 572, 64 S. W. 903, 89 Am. St Rep. 957. Inadequate remedy at law. Within the meaning of the rule that equity will not entertain a suit if there is an adequate remedy at law, this does not mean that there must be a failure to collect money or damages at law, but the remedy is considered inadequate if it is, in its nature and character, unfitted or not adapted to the end in view, as, for instance, when the relief sought is preventive rather than compensatory.
