I. The parties to this record are many, their interests various, and consequently the pleadings and proceedings are somewhat lengthy and ■complicated. Counsel have discussed the case with much care and elaboration, and with extended quotations from authorities, with the view, no doubt, of anticipating every question that might suggest itself upon an examination of the case. As we understand the record, the controlling questions are these: (1) 'Whether, in this state, a court of equity has power to appoint a receiver of a state banking incorporation on the application of a stockholder; (2) if so, whether the plaintiff stated in his petition sufficient grounds Tor such- relief; (3) whether, under the law and the facts, appellants should be held to be now estopped from denying the legality of the appointment in ■question.
