102 BINNEY'S CASE
no bail having been taken, the party is before the court in custody,
and, therefore, to obtain a discharge from confinement, has a right
to have his case heard before any other matter now ready to be
presented to the court.
9 But considering this attachment as being, in reality, nothing
more than an auxiliary to the injunction, the judgment upon it
may be much better adapted to its chief purpose after, than before
the court has determined, whether the injunction shall be continued
or not; since it is obvious, that if the injunction should be dis-
solved, nothing will be left, under the attachment, but the bare
contempt; whereas, if the injunction should be continued the
court may order the party to remove any injurious work he may
have erected, after the service of the injunction, as a part of the
punishment, under the attachment.
Upon which the solicitors of the plaintiff, at once, waved all
claim to have the attachment enforced, in any other respect, than
as an aid of the injunction; and consented, that the two subjects
should be considered together; and that the attachment should
abide the fate of the injunction. With this understanding the
case proceeded upon the motion to dissolve the injunction; and
the bill and answers were read and explained.
