“So long as the property of the corporation remains in the custody of the court and is administered through the agency of a receiver, such receivership is continuous and uninterrupted until the court relinquishes its hold upon the property, though its personnel may be subject to repeated changes. Actions against the receiver are in law actions against the receivership, or the' funds in the hands of the receiver, and his contracts, mis-feasances, negligences and liabilities are official and not personal, and judgments against him as receiver are payable only from the funds in his hands.”
