The opinion of the court was delivered by
Anders, J.The Richelieu Hotel and the Palmer House are adjoining buildings, situate on the east side of Occidental avenue, between Washington street and Main street, in the city of Seattle. When these buildings were constructed, only one wall was erected between them, and each of the respective owners paid one half of the cost *198thereof, and also one half of the cost of the hall, stair, and elevator ways, and all rooms over the hall-way space; and they agreed in writing that the said party wall, hall, stair, and elevator ways should be maintained at the expense of the owners in proportion to their interests therein. It appears that the main entrance to these buildings is on Occidental avenue, and that, on the first floor, a hall extends back from the entrance to an elevator, which is in the Eichelieu Hotel building, and to a stairway, which is in the Palmer House. It further appears that the said elevator and stairway connect with a hall on the second floor of the buildings which affords ingress and egress to and from the said elevator and stairway for both of the buildings, and that said hall is reached from the Eichelieu Hotel through an archway in the wall next to the main portion of said building. One Thomas Winsor is conducting a hotel business in the Eichelieu Hotel building, and the German Savings & Loan Society, a corporation, or the relator herein, H. Quandt, as its lessee or agent, is carrying on a like business in the Palmer House. On April 21, 1902, the said Thomas Winsor instituted an action in the equity department of the superior court of King county against the said German Savings ■& Loan Society and the said H. Quandt, and alleged in his complaint, in substance, among other things, that the said defendants themselves, and by their agents, servants, and employees, had placed at the archway in the hall of the Eichelieu Hotel building fire proof shutters, and had from time to.time closed and locked the same when there was no fire, and no apprehension of any, and solely for the purpose of preventing the plaintiff and his guests from going to and from his hotel by way of the front entrance, stairway, and elevator above described; that the placing of side shutters upon the said premises was a trespass, and a violation of the said party-*199wall agreement; and that the plaintiff had as many as three times taken said shutters down, or unlocked or broken them, but the defendant again replaced and locked the same; that, when these shutters are thus closed and locked, the guests of the Richelieu Hotel are unable to reach said stairway or elevator, and are put to such inconvenience and annoyance thereby that they quit said hotel as guests; that lodgers, and the public generally, wishing to stop at the Richelieu Hotel, are unable, because of these iron shutters, to gain admission to said hotel by the said front entrance; that the plaintiff is constantly sustaining great loss on account of the inability of persons to use the main entrance to his hotel, and has already sustained damages amounting to $250, and unless he can obtain relief from the court his damage will be irreparable, and that unless the defendants are restrained by the order of court the plaintiff will be without adequate remedy, and will suffer great and irreparable injury. The prayer of the plaintiff is for a writ of injunction restraining and inhibiting the defendants from placing in said hall of said building shutters at the place mentioned, or any obstructions which interfere in any way with the occupants of said Richelieu Hotel in passing to and from said hotel by the main entrance on Occidental avenue, or which will in any way hinder or impede said occupants from reaching said stairway and elevator; that an emergency exists demanding the issuance of a restraining order; and that upon a final hearing the said injunction be made perpetual; and for such other and further relief as may be equitable.
Hpon presentation of said complaint and an affidavit, a restraining order was made, restraining and prohibiting the defendants from closing, or in any way keeping closed, the shutters mentioned in the complaint; and the hearing was set for April 28, 1902, to show cause why an injunc*200tion. should not issue. On that day,' all parties being in court by their attorneys, the plaintiff moved for a mandatory injunction, which, after argument of counsel, was ordered to be issued, commanding the defendant to unlock, and keep open, the shutters in the complaint mentioned; which order, omitting the title and number of the cause, is as follows:
“This cause coming on to be heard, on the order heretofore made on the defendants to show cause; and the defendant, H. Quandt, having asked for a continuance of the hearing; and it appearing to the court that the hallway in the complaint mentioned is obstructed by the shutters in said complaint, it is therefore ordered that said defendant Quandt unlock and open said shutters, or take the same down, immediately upon the service of this order, and, in the event that said Quandt cannot be found, that then the plaintiff be authorized to unlock and open said shutters, or to remove the same.”
On April 30, 1902, the defendant Quandt demurred to the complaint, and the court sustained the demurrer. On May 6, 1902, the defendant Quandt moved to dismiss the complaint, and the plaintiff, on the 10th day of that month, asked and obtained leave to file a supplemental complaint. The defendant Quandt demurred to the supplemental complaint, which demurrer was sustained, and the plaintiff thereupon, by leave of the court, filed an amended supplemental complaint. A demurrer to this complaint was also sustained, and the action dismissed on June 14, 1902, and the plaintiff thereupon appealed. Thereafter, and on June 1Y, 1902, the plaintiff requested the court to fix the amount of the bond to be given by plaintiff to keep in force the injunction theretofore issued, which the court was disposed to do; and to prevent such action on the part of said superior court, and the judge thereof, the defendant Quandt applied for and obtained from this court an alternative *201writ of prohibition, commanding the Hon. Boyd J. Tail-man, as judge of said court, to desist and refrain from any further proceedings in the matter of granting an order fixing the amount of a supersedeas bond in said action on appeal, for the purpose of continuing in force and effect the said restraining order (so-called in said writ) and approving a bond therein for that purpose, until the 25th day of Tune, 1902, and until the further order of this court, and to show cause before this court at the court room in the city of Olympia, at the hour of 10 o’clock a. m. of said last mentioned day, why he should not be absolutely restrained and prohibited from any further proceedings in such suit or matter.
On the day specified in said writ, the said judge filed his return thereto, setting forth therein the proceedings - had and taken in the said original action, and which we have hereinbefore mentioned, and asked that the prayer of the relator be denied. It is here contended, on the part of the relator, that the order of the court directing the relator herein to “unlock and open said shutter, or take the same down, immediately upon the service of this order,” cannot legally be continued in force during the pendency of the appeal, and that the judge of the superior court has no right or authority of law to approve or fix the amount of a bond for such purpose. A contrary view is entertained by the respondent, and in his behalf it is urged that our statute affords full and complete authority for the contemplated action, on the part of the respondent, which the relator now seeks to prohibit. We think the respondent’s interpretation of the law is the correct one, in view of the facts disclosed by the record. It is true, this court held in State ex rel. Miller v. Lichtenberg, 4 Wash. 407 (30 Pac. 716), and in Coleman v. Columbia & P. S. R. R. Co., 8 Wash. 227 (35 Pac. 1077), that a restraining order, under the *202statute therein referred to, issued without notice to the defendants, on the ground.of a temporary emergency, cannot he kept in force by plaintiff during the pendency of an appeal. But the order of the learned judge of April 28, 1902, as above set forth, is something more than a mere restraining order issued without notice to the defendants on the ground of a temporary emergency, and, therefore, the cases above mentioned are not applicable here. It was evidently considered by the judge who made it, and rightly so, we think, as a temporary mandatory injunction. It was issued after notice to all parties, and a hearing by the court, and, in our opinion, it is just such a “temporary injunction” as may properly continue in force during the pendency of an appeal, under § 6507, Bal. Code (Laws 1893, pp. 123-4), which provides as follows:
“In all cases where a final judgment shall be rendered by any superior court of this state in a cause wherein a temporary injunction has been granted, and the party at whose instance such injunction was granted shall appeal from such judgment, such injunction shall remain in force during the pendency of such appeal, if, within five days after service on him of notice of the entry of the final judgment, such appellant shall file with the clerk of the superior court a bond, with one or more sufficient sureties, in a penalty to be fixed by said court, conditioned that the appellant shall pay to the respondent all costs and damages that may be adjudged against the appellant on the appeal, and all costs and damages that may accrue to the respondent by reason of the injunction remaining in force.”
Manifestly, the judgment appealed from by Mr. Winsor was a final judgment, and, inasmuch as the temporary injunction in question was granted at his instance, it seems quite clear to us that he has the right, under the above quoted provision of the statute, to file a bond with sufficient sureties in a penalty fixed by the court, and thereby con*203tinue in force and effect such injunction during the pendency of his appeal; and, that being so, it follows that the peremptory writ of prohibition should be denied, and the petition discharged, at the cost of the relator, and it is so ordered.
