100 Ill. App. 316 | Ill. App. Ct. | 1902
delivered the opinion of the court.
The affidavit of Demmon, filed September 26,1900, as of June 2, 1900, and which seems to be the basis, “no other basis appears,” of the order entered August 17, 1900, from which this appeal is prosecuted, contains no mention of allusion to appellant other than the following :
“ Your affiant further shows that said owner of the premises in question, Samuel E. Magill, was not a party to the foreclosure, and is not now estopped from setting up his right to the funds of the receiver, collected during the period of the equity of redemption, and which belonged to the said Samuel E. Magill, and which have been disbursed for the interest of the purchaser, and without notice to the said Samuel E. Magill.
Stephen D. Dbmmon.”
The greater portion of Demmon’s affidavit is devoted to an attack upon the solicitor for the complainant in the foreclosure case.
The notice to appellant may have been served upon him, although that does not appear, but if it were, neither by it nor by the affidavit of Demmon did the court acquire any jurisdiction to make the order it entered.
The foreclosure proceedings terminated February 3,1898; the receiver’s final report was approved and he discharged May 9, 1899.
All jurisdiction over him was lost at the close of the May term of that year, the 31st day of May, 1899. More than a year elapsed after his discharge ere any attempt ivas made to proceed against him in the suit in which he had been receiver.
When a receiver is discharged all right upon the part of the court to proceed against him summarily ceases, and he is ho longer subject to its jurisdiction, except such jurisdiction as is acquired in the ordinary methods available to all suitors. Smith on Receiverships, Sec. 133; High on Receivers, 3d Ed., Sec. 848.
In chancery all final orders and decrees must be supported by the record. , There is nothing in the affidavit of Demmon or in the record of the foreclosure case, if that were upon this order to be considered, -warranting the finding that the receiver had fraudulently diverted $193.32, or any other sum, or justifying the order that he pay this amount to Charles J. Magill.
The order entered August 17, 1900, is entered:

There was then no such cause pending; it had. been terminated for more than a year, and there was nothing before the court tending to show that appellant, who had once been receiver in such cause, had then a penn}^ of the funds that had come into his hands as such receiver, or that he had not faithfully accounted for and paid over all he had so received, in accordance with the order of the court.
Hot from the record, but by the briefs of counsel, we learn that it is claimed that the receiver should not have paid the taxes upon the premises that fell due during the period allowed for redemption. If the mortgage created a charge upon the rents, and provided that a receiver might be appointed, and that he, out of such rent funds in his hands, should pay such taxes, then he had a right so to do. First National Bank v. Illinois Steel Co., 72 Ill. App. 640-647; Oakford v. Robinson, 48 Ill. App. 270.
The order of the Superior Court is reversed.
