1. ““The receiver agreed with the sheriff that his taking possession should not affect the validity of any lien which might have been created by the sheriff’s levy and continued in force until the receiver's taking possession. The arrangement made by the sheriff and the temporary receiver is to be commended. It was a judicious compromise to avoid a conflict between Jurisdictions, .and certainly this court will not permit the commendable spirit of confidence which the sheriff showed in the justice and equity of this court to be made a ground for depriving him or those whom he represented of the rights in the property which had been acquired and maintained by lawful levy and subsequent official custody. The finding of the master that the judgment creditors, by reason of these levies, acquired a priority of lien, is confirmed.””
