It appears from the record that on November 19, 1917, in the superior court of Napa County, in an action wherein the people of the state of California was plaintiff and said Mary M. Selowsky was defendant, a judgment was duly given, made, and entered wherein it was ordered, adjudged, and decreed that the premises therein described were, at all times recited in said judgment, maintained by said Mary M. Selowsky as a place of lewdness, assignation, and prostitution in violation of the laws of the state of California, and that said premises, at all of said times, constituted a public nuisance; said judgment decreed that said nuisance be abated and that said Mary M. Selowsky, as the owner of said premises, be perpetually enjoined from directly or indirectly maintaining or permitting such nuisance, and from directly or indirectly permitting the use of said premises, or any part thereof, for the purpose of lewdness, assignation, or prostitution, and from directly or indirectly maintaining and permitting on said premises, or any part thereof, any act of lewdness, assignation, or prostitution.
