248 OCTOBER TERM, 1907. November 25, 1902, when, upon hearing, the court dissolved the injunction and discharged the order to show cause. The work was then continued until its completion in April, 1903. Subsequently the decree of N?vemher 25, 1902, was affa?med by the Court of Appeals, and the cause was referred to an ditor to ascertain the damages caused to the defendants, or any of them, by the wrongful suing out of the injunction. The auditor reported that Mrs. Munn had sustained damages to the amount of six thousand dollars, and that the other defend- ants had sustained no damage.

It is further contended that, as Mrs. Munn was never served .with a subp?na, or notice either of the order to show cause or of the restraining order, she is not entitled to the benefits of the undertaking. The order of the court was served !mmediately upon the architect and the builder, and the work was instantly stopped. No injury from the wrongful acts of the injunction was inflicted upon either of the defendants served with the court's order, but only upon the owner of the house. It is now
