There are two appeals before us in this case. The first is from the injunction order granted by Mr. Justice Fursman; the second, from the refusal to appoint a receiver in the motion made before Mr. Justice Edwards. Upon a consideration of all the facts before us, we think that the injunction order was properly granted, and should be affirmed, with costs.
In regard to the refusal to appoint a receiver, the court required the plaintiff to give security' to the amount of $20,000. The court probably considered that the plaintiff, being one of the partners, should, under the circumstances, be allowed to close up the partnership business on giving proper security. The defendants, however, insist that they could not, with any convenience, control the action of the plaintiff in such closing up of the business, if he should not act properly; that if a receiver were appointed, his action would be under control of the court. We might, perhaps, appoint the plaintiff receiver, and thus obviate the defendants’ objection to the present situation. But there might be this difficulty, viz., that, on any sale of the partnership property made *92by the plaintiff in his capacity of receiver, he would be unable to be a purchaser in his private capacity. He would, therefore, be unable to protect himself against loss on such a sale. Having this in consideration, we think it will be best not to appoint the plaintiff receiver, and not at the present time to appoint any receiver. The partnership is ended, and it remains now the duty of the plaintiff, in whose- control the property is, to close up the business as expeditiously as may be, with due regard to the interests of all concerned.
In case the plaintiff shall neglect to perform this duty, or shall perform it improperly, it will be the privilege of the defendants to move again, on showing such facts, for the appointment of a receiver. Bach of the orders appealed from is affirmed, with $10 costs and printing disbursements, but with the privilege to defendants, on showing plaintiff’s neglect of duty in closing up the partnership, to renew the motion for the appointment of a receiver, and with privilege, also, to the plaintiff to make the same motion. All concur.
