Syllabus

<p>Statutes — Foreign Laws — Presumptions. In the absence of allegation, it will be presumed that the bankruptcy laws of a foreign country are the same as our own.</p> <p>Receivers — Temporary Receivers — Actions—Capacity to Sue. A temporary or act interim, receiver in bankruptcy, not being vested with tbe title to the estate of the alleged bankrupt, cannot maintain an action on behalf of the estate, in the absence of a showing that the property sought is in danger of being dissipated; and hence has no capacity to sue on mere choses in action or for unliquidated damages.</p>
