Syllabus

<p>Appeal (237)—Supebsedeas— Right to — Judgments Affecting Rights. Where a receiver, appointed in a suit by mortgagees, was required by stipulation of the parties to make reports only to the mortgagees, but was subsequently ordered, at suit of minority stockholders, to make report to the court, and was adjudged in contempt for failure to so report after dismissal of the action in which he had been appointed receiver, he is entitled, on appeal from the order requiring him to report and adjudging him in contempt, to have the order requiring a receivership report superseded pending the appeal, where it appears he is acting in good faith, that the question to be presented to the appellate court is debatable, that no injury will result to the stockholders that cannot be compensated in damages, and that his appeal might be rendered nugatory by repeated citations for contempt.</p>
