Rbceivbbs— AocouNTOia. �A receiver pf lands, on a part of which he holds a mortgage with condition broken, must account for rent issuing out of such part as "was not covered by his mortgage, where he rents them for a term which did not expire until after his appointment, and before his appointaient recoives the rent, which was pay- able in adyance, for the full tenn. �In Bankruptcy. / �Whebleb, 1>. J. This cause has been submitted upon the report of the register, to -whom was referred the matter of the account of Henry L, Tilton, receiver. Upon this part of the case the reoeiver's account only is to be settled. What he has received on aceount of the property of which he was made receiver, and what he is entitled to retain in his own right, are to be ascertained, and the difference is to be paid into court, to go to whomsoever it may be decreed to belong.

It issued out of the land and was the product of the whole year, and appears to have been paid so much in advance as security, and not because it had fully accrued. When so paid it was in Tilton's hands in trust until accrued. Had the lessee been evicted by title paramount to Tilton's, doubtless the rent so advanced could have been recovered back. Tilton was appointed receiver while his right to that rent in his hands V.8,no.l0— 48 ��� �
