 Jurlsdiction.

The application of Captain J. W. Dimmick in the City Court in Equity for receiver for the interests held by M. c. Stokes in the Alabama Gen. tral Railway and in certain timber rights in Autauga county, was yester- day partially sustained by Judge A.
 According to the decree of the Judge, the court refused to authorize a receiver for the stock held by Stokes In the Alabama Central Railway on presided oyer by Chancellor W. L..
 But the court granted the applica. ton for q receiver to take charge of the interests of Stokes in the timber rights. on the ground that the timber rights. being about to expire by limit tation. receivership was necessary to prevent loss to the complainant, John A. Kirkpatrick was named as receiver under a bond of $500. Judge Sayre fixed the appeal bond at $1, 900 on that part of the decree refusing to appoint a receiver for the stock.
 The position taken by Judge Sayre in regard to the Jurisdiction by Chan cellor Parks. has allusion to the case of M.. c. Stokes vs. Captain J. W. which the chancellor recently render ed a decree appointing a receiter for the Alabama Central Railway. So far. Judge Bradford Durham has not uuai. filed as receiver of the road, and M. c. Stokes has not made the necessary security bond of $1.000.
