28 There is no requirement that the application for leave of the surrogate must precede the application to the court. Either application may precede the other. See Kerr v. Kreuder, 28 Hun, 452. Ordinarily it is better to get leave of the court whose judg ment is to be enforced, before applying to the surrogate.

An order to show cause is necessary, for the reason that it is essential that such order should provide for the manner of giving notice of this application for leave to issue execution to the persons whose interest in the said property will be affected by a sale by virtue of the execution, because [some of] the said persons, viz. [naming them], are not residents of this State, but reside in in the State of [or otherwise state reasons for
