1. ““But another and a fatal objection exists to the order in this case; it was made without previous notice to the necessary and interested parties. As a general rule such notice is necessary; but the rule is subject to exceptions in special cases where irreparable injury would be sustained by the delay. In the present case it was not shown that special circumstances existed which rendered it necessary or proper to put a receiver upon the property of appellants without giving them an opportunity to be heard. The People v. Norton, et al., 1 Paige, 17 ; Sanford v. Sinclair, 8 Paige, 372 . The record informs us that two of the appellants, Crowder and Newman, who are interested, with the appellee, in the property involved in the litigation, reside in Madison county where the bill was filed; and there is nothing in the record to show that they could not have been readily notified of the application.” ( 52 Ala. 220, 221 )”
