1Opinion of the Court
McCSLENDON, j.
Two questions are presented for our determination: (1) Whether a receiver who is interested in the receivership can legally be allowed remuneration for his services; and (2) whether compensation can' be lawfully allowed a receiver for services and expenses of a coreceiver who is a noncitizen of this state. Both questions are of first impression in our Supreme Court, and both have been answered in the negative by the Court of Civil Appeals. Roberts Telephone & Electric Co. v. Farmers’ & Merchants’ Nat. Bank of Abilene, 155 S. W. 629.
