[Woodmansee et al. filed their petition for an attachment against W. G. Robinson, Jr., and R. Y. Robinson, alleging, in brief, as follows: Under a bill filed by the petitioners, a receiver was appointed to take charge of the effects of W. G. Robinson and the business lately conducted by him, and injunction was issued, restraining the defendants from interfering with the assets in the receiver’s hands or from collecting any amounts on claims growing out of the business. This injunction was violated, and the defendants had proceeded to collect claims growing out of the business, but failed to pay them over to the receiver on demand. Attachment nisi was issued and served on W. G. Robinson ; R. V. Robinson being absent from the state, was not served.
On the hearing, upon the petition, answer and certain affidavits, the court ordered the respondent to be imprisoned for twenty days, to be discharged upon payment of $82 to the receiver. The respondent excepted.]
