 And ''old books, papers and uncollectable ac counts" having no sum or value given, ln sald ac- counting.
 This honorable court therefore is petitioned to pass an order that said Russell, receiver, shall file an amended report, in which shall be enumerated the said notes held by him for $1, 200 particularizing each. Also to enume- rate and describe the notes and bills receiva- ble held by him for $61710. And also to in dicate what old books, papers and un- collected accounts, he makes mention of as holding-with no value attached thereto and noted as of nominal Value."
 So that it may be known by the creditors of said estate precisely what the rest and residue of said estate consists of and amounts to, with reference to determining to whom said assets belong, and in what manner they shall be disposed of.
 Also that this honorable court shall pass an order for said Russell, acting as receiver of the American Mutual Life Insurance com pany to report whether or not he has in his possession any assets belonging to the said American Mutual Life Insurance company, and if so, what they consist of, and their value, so that it shall appear of record in said Supreme court what assets said Russell, receiver, mas III n1S pOSSSSS1OH U0lOuSluS tO each or either of said companies and the nature and value thereof. And. further, That this honorable court shall restrain said Russell, receiver, from pursuing to the Superior court of the United States in Wash ington, D. O., an action which he brought against one, A. T. Post, of New York, manF years ago, for large sum of money, which suit was first brought in the Supreme court of New York and then transferred to the U. s. court of New York, which said court after partial hearing of the case, like as said Su- preme court had done before, ordered said Russell to deposit with said court $2,0 ,0OO to abide any damages which the said court might in it's discretion award the defendant for loss of time and expenses in defending a case which was wrongfully brought, having perhaps no foundation; and said court upon full hearing of the case, adjudged that the said Russell, receiver, had no cause of action, and so found as the decision of said court; whereupon it seems by said RusselPs report herein referred to, as incomplete, that he ap- pealed said case to the Supreme court of the United States at Washington, thereby keep ing the estate of said insurance company open and unsettled for certain number of years; in the end submitting to @ heavy award of damages and to enormous court and law expenses, to the great loss and injury of the policy holders, whom this court is seeking to protect: for said suit has al- ready cost several thousand dollars, and s, ,O0O in cash is held for damages; besides there will be added large expense at Wash ington jeopardizing not less than $5,0O0, the which would be calamity to said estate besides keeping it open for indefinite years.
 And lastly, this honorable court is peti- tiond to extend the time for the paying out of the moneys in the receivers hands as a dividend on said estate to the first day of Janunary, 1887, and not before, to the end that the interest on the U. s. bonds then due may be added to the estate, and in the prospect that said bonds after the 1st day of January next will sell for as much or moro than they will now; and in the hope that during said period of delay way may be provided to avoid serious issues coverin g questions of law which are still open and especially increased by the price the build ing was sold for.
