The appellants’ counsel is right in his position that section 324 of the code applies as well to injunction orders as to other orders. The special provision made by section 225 is in addition to the powers conferred by section 324, and not a substitute for them. This was expressly held by the court in the third district, at general term, in the case of Bruce v. The Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, (8 How. Pr. Rep. 440,) and we concur. It follows from this ruling that a judge of this court, or a county judge, has power, on an ex parte application, to vacate'or modify an injunction order made by himself, without notice.
But it does not follow that such power may be used under all circumstances, without regard to the equitable rights of parties to be affected thereby, or that it should be left to each judge in the state to determine for himself under what circumstances he will exercise it. The practice respecting it should, as far as practicable, be uniform and consistent with equity; and to accomplish those ends it may be regulated by the court. I assent to the opinion expressed in Bruce v. The Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, (supra,) that a judge should never vacate or modify an injunction order, without notice, “except when, from the urgency of the case, it is necessary to guard against serious loss, which sometimes may be occasioned by the delay incident to serving notice.” This I have no doubt is the intent of the statute.
In the case under consideration nothing of the nature above stated was made to appear to the judge, and the application was not made till more than a year had elapsed after service *549of the injunction upon the defendants or some of them, and not till after all of them, except Coolc, had appeared and answered.
[Monroe General Term, June 2, 1863.Under these circumstances, the order modifying the injunction without notice was improvidently granted, and the special term properly directed that it he set aside for that reason, and that the original injunction order be reinstated, with leave to the defendants to apply to the court, on motion, for such modification as may be just.
The order of the special term should be affirmed, with costs.
