Opinion of the Court

The chancellor refused to appoint a receiver as to assigned property upon a creditor’s bill, where the defendant and the assignee swore that the whole of the assigned property was not sufficient to paythe debts for the security of which it was assigned, and that there was no intention to defraud creditors.
