Syllabus

<p>Receivers — Appointment — Notice. An order appointing a receiver without notice, and without limiting the appointment to a day certain fixed by the court upon which a hearing can be had, is without jurisdiction and void.</p> <p>Same — Appointment—Proceedings—Yaridity—Estoppel. Where an order appointing a receiver without notice was void for want of jurisdiction, a motion to quash the order of appointment, and acquiescence in the order of the court denying the motion, does not estop the party from questioning the subsequent acts of the court in issuing a writ of assistance to put the receiver in possession; since the appointment being void, the court was without jurisdiction to issue the writ'of assistance.</p>
