This is an appeal by the receiver from an order of court directing him to restore the schedule of wages existing at the time of his appointment, in respect to persons employed by him in operating the railroad in charge of the court. The order was made in response to .a petition by Silas N. Smith and others, being the employees whose wages were reduced by the receiver, and the court ordered that the petitioners be made parties to the record for the purposes of the petition. Smith and others have filed in this court a plea in abatement, which we must consider before disposing of the appeal.
