A Receiver Hot a Shield. Judge Arnold Rules That Insolvent Corpora tions Have Not Peculiar Legal Rights. President Judge Arnold, of Com mon Pleas Court, No. 4, Philadelphia, on Monday handed down an opinion determining the lien of a mortgage upon the property of a corporation m the hands of a receiver in which the decision is to regard an insolvent cor- poration as an insolvent individual, and to enfarce a first mortgage as rigidly upon the former as upon the latter. The opinion is important, in that under the prevalent practice of receiverships it has been held that there was no such thing as a first mortgage on a railroad or other cor poration. The opinion was delivered in the case of the Real Estate Title Insur ance and Trust Company against the Mahoning Rolling Mills Company, The Mahoning Mills Company has its rolling mills in Danville, Mon tour county, Pa. There is a first mortgage against its property for $ioc,ooo, the interest on which has been in default since May 1, 1804. In December, 1894, the president of the company was appointed its re ceiver, with power to carry on the business. In July, 1896, the Real Estate Title Insurance and Trust Company, as trustee for the bond holders, applied to the Common Pleas Court of Montour county for leave to bring suit on the mortgage, and the court granted the leave, but soon af terward revoked it. The suit was commenced, however, and the re ceiver pleaded in defense that the company was in his hands as receiver. The suit was then brought Sn Com mon Pleas Court, No. 4. of this county, and Judge Arnold's ruling is mat the leave to sue is not requisite. and that the existence of a receiver is no defense to a mcfhgage. He savs - rropeny in ine nanos ot a re ceiver wjiU be treated the same as if it were in the hands of the Sheriff. If the receiver is proceeding with proper aiiigence to sell the property his pos session will not be disturbed by any omer court, it, however, he is carry. ing on business with the property, he cannot delay other creditors who have a right to sue for and collect their claims against it " If the plea of a receivership is a good defense to a suit by the first mortgage bondholders now, it may be good forever, and thus there will be both a delay and a denial of justice. The assertion that when property is placed in the hands of a receiver, with authority to continue the busi ness, it is in the custody of the Court, is a mere Jegal fiction. If the busi ness were being run by the Court, the Court should be responsible for the debts created in the business and sub ject to suit therefor." Judge Arnold proceeded then to arraign the present practices of the Courts, saying t "The truth is that all the Court does is to restrain the president and officers of the corpora tion from the further conduct of its business, and then appoint the presi dent a receiver to carry on the busi ness, instead of selling the property and paying the indebtedness of the concern. When the receivers are sued they run to the Courts which ap point them and claim sanctuary. There, if creditors petition for leave to intervene they are refused. They are told that they cannot sue without leave of Court, and when leave is withheld they are held down while their security is being diminished. Then on application of the receiver the Court authorizes him to borrow money to pay those unsecured credi tors who are persistent and will not be put oft with further excuses, and the Court assumes the power to make this new indebtedness, generally call ed receivers' certificates, a lien prior to existing encumbrances." These practices Judge Arnold's decision tends to render less likely, if not im possible. TOWH 00UK0IL. The regular meeting of the council was held on Thursday evening last President W. R.
