        "text": "TVT-r. Presiding Justice Shepard\ndelivered the opinion of the court.\nThis is an appeal from an interlocutory order appointing a receiver, in a suit to foreclose a mortgage, wherein the appellant is one of the defend ants, though not the maker of the mortgage.\nThe mortgage itself contained no provisions for the appointment of a receiver under any circumstances, and the bill was not sworn to. Therefore we are confined, in considering the question, to the affidavit read on the hearing of the application for a receiver. Siegmund v. Ascher, 37 Ill. App. 122. As is shown by the certificate of evidence, the entire substance of that affidavit, made by the holder of the mortgage, is, as stated in the abstract, as follows:\n\u201cKnows the value of said premises; that it is meager security; was worth $7,000 December 12, 1895, and $5,500 now; that a special assessment of $225.95 for paving Illinois street has recently been levied against said property, as affiant is informed.\nThat J. H. Murphy is in litigation with his brothers and sisters over the property, and is insolvent; that premises are occupied by tenants of J. H. Murphy, who pay him or some other person rent; property has been- neglected; affiant paid insurance and taxes for the year 1899.\u201d\nThe insufficiency and uncertainty of such an affidavit for the purpose of securing the appointment of a receiver under a foreclosure bill not verified, where the mortgage does not by its terms authorize the appointment of a receiver, is too apparent to require comment. We do not mean to be understood as holding that a receivership in the case might not be created under a proper showing, but only that no such showing was made on this record as the law requires.
