They asked for the appointment of a receiver, to the end tbat the property might be more orderly administered, which they claim might accomplish the full satisfaction of their debts.\nThe defendants, in apt time, entered a motion for tbe removal of tbe cause to Madison County, where the lands lie, as tbe proper venue for trial. The plaintiffs appealed from the order of removal.\nThe order of removal was proper, and the judgment is\nAffirmed.",
