The appointment of a receiver is quite a distinct question from ‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‍that of an injunction. The cases cited principally relate to a receiver under such circumstances. Á receiver can act. He is a ‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‍substituted trustee. But after injunction no person can act, and what *49ure to become of the rights of other legatees, and of debtors and ‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‍creditors? They cannot demand, or receive, or pay, for there is no representative of the estate. The power of the executor is ‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‍wholly suspended. Such an extraordinary measure as an injunction, in the first instance, going to the whole power of the executor, seems ‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‍not to be conformable to precedents, and might be very injurious.

Motion denied.
