National Bank of Augusta v. Warren
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
This is an appeal from a final decree made by his Honor, Judge Bowman, at the October term of Court, 1914, for Hampton county; and the appellant states the facts in his “Points and Authorities” as being as follows: “This is an action by the plaintiff-respondent against the Brunson Cotton Oil Company as maker of a note and a number of endorsers of the note, defendants-appellants, H. Ginn being one of the endorsers, and his receiver, E. F. Warren, is the only one now before the Court.
On the - day of February, 1913, H. Ginn died intestate, after suit had been commenced against the maker and endorsers of the said note and H. Ginn had filed his answer. The executors of Ginn’s will adopted his answer to the complaint.
The executors.of the will of H. Ginn commenced a suit in the Circuit Court for Hampton county among themselves, alleging insolvency and threatened suits, for the appointment of a receiver, and on the 13th of September, 1913, Judge Memminger in the suit appointed E. F. Warren receiver of the estate and effects of Ginn. The attention of the Court is here called to that part of the said order and the latter part of folio 15.
The advertisement was duly published under said order of Judge Memminger, and claims amounting to thirty-odd thousand dollars were filed with the receiver, the plaintiff-respondent not having filed its claim as required by the order of Judge Memminger.
On the 30th day of January, 1914, Judge Rice passed an order authorizing the plaintiff-respondent to make E. F. Warren, receiver of the estate of H. Ginn, a party hereto. Notice of appeal was given from this order, but afterwards abandoned for the reason that the receiver reached the con- *455 elusion that Judge Rice had no jurisdiction to pass such an order in the face of Judge Memminger’s order.
Under the order of Judge Rice, E. E. Warren, receiver, filed an answer to the complaint under protest.
