THE MIDDLETON FAILURE.
Mr. Frank NlOrey Appointed Receiver
Hearing I'm the Equity Court ON Mrs.
HutchinsOn"s Suit To-day.

In the Equity Court this morning the case Of
MIS- II. VI. Hutchinson against ID. v. Middleton ct
al-biu for q receiver on account and to set aside
certain conveyances-was called before Judge
Macarthur. Messrs. ". B. Webb and Enoch Totten
appeared for the complainant: MesSrs. Gordon i
Gordon for the assignee: y. Wilson, l. c. Hine, j. S.
Bradford, p F. Larner, Hagner & Maddox, James
Coleman and h. Christy for other parties.
Mr.. Webb said they were satisfied that the case
could not be maintained TO the real estate under
this pill and they would consent to dismissal as
10 the parties holding the real estate. This being
the case he presumed that there would be OppO-
sttion To the appointment OF receiver as TO the
partnership assets. and i'll behalf Of d number OF
creditors lac named Mr.. Frank M0rey.
THE DIRECTIONS TO Mr.. GREEN.
Mr.. j. II. Gordon thought that it should be first
shown why Mr.. q. F. Green, the assignee, should
be removed.
Mt. Webb said that Mr.. Green had been the conn
DENTAL cler, or the firm for number OF years, and
remarked Incidentally that The schedules presented
by the assignee showed sI1O0U UverdraftS on
examination IL was found that these were not what
IS usually known overdrdftS, but they arose
from transactions on stock margins. the losses
being put down as overdraftS. While they did not
1Inpu2n MI. Green's Integrity they submitted that
he Was not the proper person TO act the assignee
Mr.. Gordon read portion OF Mr.. Green's an
swer, In which he denies any knowledge OF fraud
on his part. and states that he entered upon the
work with the view OF giving the creditors state
ment as soon as possible: that the schedule was
not made public ut the request of creditors: that
he knows of no peculiar reasons why he was
selected assignee. and denies that he incOmDe-
tent TO perform the duties that he Is not re-
sponzibe.
The court said that IL would never appoint Is the
receiver Of a bankrupt trn The confidential book
keeper OF the firm. aud that 10 deny the appllca-
ton would be virtually continuing the assignee as
receiver.
Several of the attorneys presented petitions OF
Creditors. asking that Gen. NOrey be appointed,
and the court said they seemed 10 be Unanimous
On the question
NJ. TOtten. In reply TO a question by the court,
Said that the assets were i65 90.
Nh NOREY APPOINTED.
The court Said he would appoint Mr.. Morey as re-
ceiyer.
Mr.. Maddox suggested two receivers or assignees.
one OF counsel remarked that there was not
enough money TO pay one.
The court said the bond would be SIS .0GO, and re-
Ierred tie aSssnees account 10 the auditor.
