Grubstake Inv. Ass'n v. Kirkham

FLY, O. J. This is án appeal from a judgment rendered by Hon. W. O. Murray, setting aside a judgment rendered by Hon. T. M. Cox, with whom the former had exchanged districts on the ground of the disqualification to render the former judgment and appoint a receiver, by reason of relationship of his father-in-Law who owned shares in the corporation for whose property a receivership was granted. The identical questions involved in this suit wdre involved in the case of Stephenson v. Kirkham (Tex. Civ. App.) 297 S. W. 265, and settled adversely to the contentions of appellants. We adhere to that decision which, since its rendition, has been fortified by another decision by this court. White v. Hidalgo Water Improvement Dist. No. 2 (Tex. Civ. App.) 6 S.W.(2d) 790. Every act of Judge Cox in connection with this was null and void; .the appointment of a receiver as well as other acts. There is no merit in the appeal, and the judgment of Hon. W. O. Murray is in all things affirmed.
