    In an action of unlawful detainer to recover possession of a rural estate brought in the District Court of Mayaguez hy Maria Moreno against Victor Martinez, the plaintiff applied for an injunction to restrain the defendant from continuing to collect the products of said estate and from using certain •establishments thereon, and the injunction having issued, the said plaintiff applied to the district court for the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the gathering of such products and the maintenance of said establishments. The appointment having been ordered and there being no appeal from such order, the defendant made an application to the Supreme Court to issue a writ of certiorari to the District Court of Mayaguez requiring it to transmit the record of said proceedings and praying for a modification in due time of the order objected to, on the ground that the appointment of a receiver in this case was not comprised among the cases enumerated in section 182 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
