Sumner Iron Works v. Wolten

Chadwick, J.

(concurring) — A petition filed in a receivership proceeding is not an action against the receiver, within the meaning of the rule requiring leave to sue, and in reviewing the order striking the petition from the files we are not required or permitted to look beyond the face of the petition itself. On its face, it discloses a clear right in the appellant to either a return of its property or the payment of the balance due on the purchase price. If there is a defense to the petition not appearing on its face, it must be presented by answer and not by motion. I concur in the judgment of reversal.
