BANKRUP FIRM
Purchase of Direct Line Coal
Company From Receiver
BY George kaseman Was
Regular, Opinion Says.
BY STAFF CORRESPONDENTS

kbh 5iAI NNINhEsSf YIN bt4AN y -
Santa Fe, Dec, 2S.-The state SUI
preme court today affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court in the
case of Arthur A. Jones, ct al,
plaintiffs in error, against Gregory
Page, Receiver, ct al, defendants
in error. The suit arose over the
sale of the Direct Line Coal COM
pany by Mr.. Page. as receiver, to
George a. Kaseman of Albuquer-
que.
The case started when the Gal
lup Mercantile company and the
Gallup Cold Storage company
brought an action in district court
tending TO show that the Direct
Line Coal company was insolvent,
A receiver was asked. The court
appointed Mr.. PAGE as receiver and
issued an Injunction as asked in
the complaint.
on the hearing relative to the
permanency of the injunction, the
court entered an order conform
ing to the prayer of the complaint
joined in by the defendants. The
receiver, Mr.. Page, thereafter
made regular reports to the court
until April, 1919, when he applied
to the court for permission to sell
the property, which permission
was granted on that day. Later
two petitioners asked the court to
set aside the order of sale and to
restore the property to the coal
company on the ground that the
corporation was not insolvent at
the time of filing the petition, or
when the receiver was first APP
pointed.
In the syllabus Of the court, it is
pointed out that judicial sale is
not to be set aside for inadequacy
OF price unless 1t is so gross az to
shock the conscience, or unless
there be additional circumstances
which would make it inequitablc
to allow the sale to stand. 1t is
stated that as a condition precedent
to the right to a reeonveyance Of
the property to the corporation in
receivership proceedings, the debts
must be paid or their actual pay
ment provided for.
IN judicial sales by receivers,
the sopinion states, the court may
confirm or refuse to confirm the
sale in the exercise of its judicial
discretion, and unless there is man.
fest or gross abuse of that discre-
>ion shown, the action of the court
thereon will not be disturbed on
appeal"
The opinion was written by Chief
Justice Frank w. Parker with JUS
tiee c. j. Roberts concurring. JUS
ice Herbert Reynolds was disqual-
flied and did not participate.

more than 200 gallons he must
