The injunction order in this case was merely preliminary to an order to show cause why the injunction should not be continued. That order was returnable on the *106twenty-third instant, and is now pending before the special term. The order of this court should not interfere to prevent its hearing. On such hearing the parties may present additional facts affecting the right to the injunction, and its continuance, not now before us.
Under the provisions of section 626 of the Code, the application to this court should be ex jpa/rte and wholly based upon the papers upon which the order was granted. The Code does not contemplate a hearing of both parties on such an application. In directing notice in this case the court went beyond the proceeding contemplated by the Code, and its action in that respect will not be deemed a precedent for future cases.
•Upon the original papers a prima, facie case for an injunction was shown. We cannot say that the justice exceeded his powers in granting the order. We cannot regard it, therefore, as invalid and set it aside for that reason. The case as presented by the papers was one, however, upon which it would have been better to have required notice of the application before granting the order. We feel it our duty, therefore, to so modify the injunction order that the hearing may be had- upon the order to show cause at special term without delay, and yet the defendants not be prevented from proceeding with the construction of the pier in the meantime.
Our order will, therefore, so far modify the in junction as to suspend its operation till such hearing of the motion to continue the same, and the decision thereof.
The plaintiffs will have it in their power to proceed at once under the direction of the special term, and will be fully protected if that court shall conclude that the injunction should be granted.
