Balfour-Guthrie Investment Co. v. Geiger
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The appellant, having commenced an .action to foreclose a farm mortgage, applied for the appointment of a receiver to take possession of the property ■and apply the rents and profits to the payment of the mortgage debt. A receiver was appointed, and subse■quently thereto, but prior to the entry of a decree in the principal action, the court, on motion of the respondents, vacated its previous order of appointment, and thereupon fhe plaintiff appealed.

The cases of Dickson v. Matheson, 12 Wash. 196 (40 Pac. 725); Greene v. Williams, 13 Wash. 674 (43 Pac. 938); Burnham v. Spokane Mercantile Co., 18 Wash. 207 (51 Pac. 363), and State ex rel. Grady v. Lockhart, 18 Wash. 531 (52 Pac. 315), are not in point, because the question in each of these related to the power of the court to disturb a final order or judgment.
The order appealed from is affirmed.

- RECEIVERS-APPOINTMENT IN FORECLOSURE SUITS'—POWER TO SET ASIDE. Under the statutes of this state, giving the mortgagee the right of possession of the mortgaged premises until foreclosure ;sale, the appointment of a receiver in foreclosure proceedings is unwarranted. An order appointing a receiver pending suit is interlocutory, and, until the case is terminated by final judgment, the court retains jurisdiction to vacate any previous order improvidently made.
