New York Court of Chancery·Decided March 10, 1840·Published

Opinion

The Vice-Chancellor :

It does not appear that the receiver has possessed himself of any property on which the landlord had a lien or right to distrain for rent. The landlord has, therefore, no specific claim upon the funds or property in the hands of the receiver. There is no law to give the landlord a preference in this case over other creditors.

The petition must be denied, with costs to be taxed.
