order.

If he is not willing to take such different order, the Court shall refuse the motion.

Where an order is made on a motion ex parte, any discharge of party affected by it may, within seven days after service of it, apply to the Court by motion to vary or discharge it; and the Court on notice to the party obtaining the order, either may refuse to vary or discharge it, or may vary or discharge it with or without imposing terms as to costs or security, or other things, as seems just.

The Court shall take a note of the material evidence, if taken viva voce,

The Court may adjourn the hearing of any summons when necessary.

Summary Orders before Suit.

Where the extreme urgency or other peculiar circumstances of the case appear to the Court so to require, the Court may on evidence on oath, without any petition having been previously presented make ex parte an order of injunction, or an order to sequester money or goods, or to stop the clearance of a ship, or to hold to bail.

Before making such an order the Court shall require the person applying for it to enter into a recognizance (with or without a surety or sureties as the Court thinks fit), signed by the party applying (and his surety or sureties if any), as a security for his being answerable in damages to the person against whom the order is sought, or to give such other security for that purpose by deposit or otherwise as the Court thinks fit.

224. Any such order shall not remain in force more than twenty-four hours, and shall at the end of that time wholly cease to be in force, unless within that time a suit is regularly instituted by the person obtaining the order.
