case of Charles H. Ross q Co. and VIM. T.
Cummings against the Canton Distilleries
Company. in which the plaintiffs asked that
a decree be passed for the appointment of a
receiver for the defendant company. Judge
Burke, in ar exhaustive opinion, denies the
| application for the appointment OF receiver
| and dsmisses the bill of complaint. The
| opinion states that while there have been dis
| sessions among the stockholders of the COM
| pany, the court fails to conclude that such q
| state of affairs exists that receiver should be
| appointed by court ofRquity on the petition
| of minority stockholders. Mr.. E. Allen Sauer-
| vein, of Heuisler & Sauerwein, and Mr.. Ed
ward H. Cans, of Cans & Haman, argued the
case for the Distileries Company and Messrs.
| Mcintosh & Son for Messrs. Ross & Co. and
