I'm view of the order heretofore made by
Mr.. Justice Brown, while assigned to this
district i am prepared to sign an order
similar as to form to that signed in the
court CT so-called primary jurisdiction-con-
solidating the two suits, accepting the resig-
nations of the old receivers and appointing
new ones-but with clause providing that
there shall be kept within this jurisdiction
sum of money not less than 100000, to
provide for the claims of any creditors here,
and further providing for the service OF
papers on such receivers in any cause begun
here. Inasmuch as the new receivers are
aon-residents and this court therefore has
no means of enforcing their compliance with
the above terms by personal service, they
should give a joint bond in the sum of
