1. ““ ‘We think the circuit court of appeals was right in reversing the order of the circuit court in appointing a receiver. In that court the costs of the receivership were assessed against Palmer, the original complainant. The receivership has gone on pending the proceedings upon appeal, and we are of opinion that justice will be done if the costs of the receivership are paid out of the fund realized in the Federal court, and it is so ordered.’ (Italics ours.)””

2. ““ ‘The just rule and that rule generally adopted by the courts is that property which is benefitted by the receivership should bear its share of the cost and expenses of the receivership including receiver’s fees. If property is placed in the hands of a receiver and is preserved or otherwise acted upon for the benefit of the general creditors, they should pay the receivership expenses, including the receiver’s fees.’ ””
