This case was affirmed (Purvis v. Elder, 175Ark.780,1S.W.2d36), whereupon appellee moved for judgment on the supersedeas bond, which was granted. In keeping with the order, the clerk of this court entered a judgment for $2,592, using as his guide the amount shown by the receiver's report in the record. The judgment rendered in the trial court was not for a specific sum. Our attention has been called to the fact that the judgment was not for a specific amount but for a portion of the assets in the hands of the receiver, and that the receiver's report appearing in the record was not his final report but, on the contrary, was his first report, which did not show all legal disbursements.
