2. “The power of appointing receivers and ordering injunctions should be prudently and cautiously exercised, and except in clear and urgent cases should not be resorted to.” Civil Code (1910), § 5477.

3. Under the pleadings and evidence in this case the judge did not err in refusing the appointment of a receiver.

Judgment affin-med.

All the Justices concur.
