Syllabus

<p>Receivers — Compensation — Allowance • — ■ Interlocutory Order. An ex parte order approving a receiver’s report and allowing him compensation is not void because made ex parte, as the same is interlocutory and reviewable on the final accounting.</p> <p>Same — Compensation — Allowance — Reasonableness. The reasonableness of an interlocutory allowance to a receiver for services must be viewed as of the date it was made, and not by reference to subsequent claims that came into existence after exhaustion of the assets.</p> <p>Same — Compensation—Amount. An allowance of $750 to a receiver who acted diligently for seven months as his own attorney, held reasonable, although only about $1,300 was collected.</p> <p>Same — Actions—Costs — Personal Liability. A judgment for costs against a receiver is not a personal claim against him where he acted in good faith and in accordance with the orders of court.</p>
