IN THE MATTER OF RACHEL COLVIN. 3Q5
would be rendered powerless for good, and prolific only of
inconvenience and mischief.
In the answer of the receiver, filed on the 14th inst., he says
distinctly that he has no interest in the estate, and therefore
no disposition which can be made of it can in any way concern
him. I therefore consider it my duty to enforce obedience to
the order of the 19th of April, 1853; but inasmuch as the re-
ceiver disclaims expressly in his answer any intention to disre-
gard the authority of this Court, or to treat its orders with con-
tempt, I am not disposed, at once, to direct an attachment to
issue against him, but will pass an order which will enable him,
by yielding promptly to the authority of the Court, to protect
himself against the consequences of that process.
[An order was accordingly passed on the same day, (17th
of May, 1853,) requiring the receiver to comply with the order
of the 19th of April, 1853, "by yielding up and delivering to
the said Richard Colvin Warford, administrator pendente life
of Rachel Colvin, deceased, the personal estate and effects of
said deceased in his hands; and that as soon as may be con-
veniently practicable, he make report and account, as required
by said order, and in all things execute and obey the same.
And it is further ordered, that if the said Ellicott shall neglect
or refuse to execute and perform said order, by yielding up and
delivering to the said Richard Colvin Warford the personal
estate and effects of said deceased, for the period of ten days
after Lhe service upon him of a copy of this order, that, upon
proof of service and neglect or refusal, the writ of attachment
will issue to compel obedience thereto."]
GRAFTON L. DULANY, and HENRY WINTER DAVIS, for the
Receiver.
WM. SCHLEY, REVERDY JOHNSON, and FREDERICK W.
BRUNE, for the Administrator pendente lite.
