ser Rocoiger. In tho bl It is charged that tie
parties woro partners defendant deniea it, but
they arc bolh ngrced that tho business, whosho1
1t was that Of partnership or principal and
agent, should bo closed up and Receiver up
pointed. Defendant argues TINT though they
aro not partners as botwocn themselves tnongl
thoy are to the world, yea they are willing te
assume that such is tho fact, and hence,
by the law they are Of course entitled to the up
pointmaut OF a Receiver. The defendant con.
tands that ho is the absolute oHncr Of tue prop
erty, aud therefore asks to be made Koeeiyor
himself. Counsel for the plaintiff argued that it
would appear from tue bill TINT no stnto Ct facts
EXISTED Whiol, would call for RECOVER. Tha bill
was accordingly read. 1t will be remembered
+tiat the bill charges Kronberg with 2 long-con
timed series Of fraudulent entrioa with intent tt
t1eiraud Krarss out Of his share OF tho profits
Judge Farwcll thought as .thcae charges worf
still not tiiAproyed, it would not bo proper t.
arpnint kronherg ut least and as the counsel
for complainant would not submit to any one
else, ho should refuse tho motion. -
