cission in the case of the old
National Bank of Grand Rapids,
Mich, and the Southern National
Bank of New York appellants, VS..
S. r. Cockriil, receiver of the First
National Bank of Little Rock, ap-
pellee. The appeal was brought
from the circuit court of Arkansas.
The controversy arose over the dis
tribution Of the proceeds of some
cotton mills in Little Rock and
the land on which they stood.
Cockrill, the receiver Of the First
National Bank, was awarded a
judgment of all proceeds OF the
property for the benefit of the
creditors of the bank. The old
National Bank and the Southern
National Bank joined in an appeal
from this decree. j. E. Butler as
trustee of a deed of trust on the
land also joined the appeal. The
court of appeals reversed the judg-
ment of the lower court with in
structions that out of the fee raised
by the sale of the property in ques-
ton, the receiver of the First
National Bank be allowed 81 ,229
for expenses and taxes, the re-
mainder of the funds be distributed
between the receiver, the Southern
