an action against the railroad company for the injuries received by his wife through its negligence, and recovered a judgment for $500 and costs. On October 30, 1893, the Farmers' Loan & Trust Company, appellant herein, instituted foreclosure proceedings against the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, and receivers were appointed to take possession of, manage, and operate the property of said railroad company. L. W. Nestelle intervened in said foreclosure proceedings, and on April 1, 1896, the circuit court made an order directed the receiver to pay the judgment obtained by Nestelle against the railroad company, with interest and costs. This appeal is taken from that order. The judgment in favor of Nestelle was obtained prior to the appointment of the receiver. Upon the principles announced in Farmers' Loan & Trust Co. v. Northern Pac. R. Co. (No. 319) 79 F. 227, and the authorities there cited, the order of the circuit court is hereby reversed, with costs in favor of the appellant.
