1. A judgment-creditor’s bill; and which had been taken as confessed. It had been put upon the calendar; and the question was, as to the extent of the decretal order. The counsel for the complainant proposed it should embrace, npt only the appointmnet of a receiver and the examination of the defendant, but also that the receiver' should pay the amount to be found by the master due to the complainant and his costs out of the first monies. The Vice Chancellor considered the order should not go so far; and the following form was entered, as settled:
