The Florida Supreme Court denied a petition for a writ of certiorari, upholding a lower court's order appointing a receiver. The court found no merit in the petitioner's argument that the circuit court lacked the authority to appoint the receiver.
Yes, the chancellor had the authority to appoint a receiver. The petitioner's contention that the circuit court lacked this authority was without merit.
“Petitioner contends that the chancellor was without and had no authority to enter the order dated September 4, 1943, which appointed a Receiver for the property involved in the litigation, with directions to take possession thereof, collect the rentals, and report and pay into the registry of the court the ¿mount so collected.”

This cause is before the Court on petition for writ of certiorari for the purpose of reviewing an order entered by the chancellor below appointing a receiver for the property involved in the litigation. Different phases of this litigation have been previously considered and ruled upon by this Court. See Nelson v. Hansard, 143 Fla. 898, 197 So. 513; Bridier v. Burns, 145 Fla. 642, 200 So. 355; Bridier v. Burns, 150 Fla. 238, 7 So. (2nd) 142; Bridier v. Burns, 148 Fla. 397, 587, 4 So. (2nd) 464, 853.
Petitioner contends that the chancellor was without and had no authority to enter the order dated September 4, 1943, which appointed a Receiver for the property involved in the litigation, with directions to take possession thereof, collect the rentals, and report and pay into the registry of the court the ¿mount so collected. Petitioner’s brief fails to contain authorities to sustain his contention that the power to appoint a receiver was in the Supreme Court of Florida and not in the Circuit Court of Volusia County. We have re*610viewed our previous rulings in the case at bar and carefully examined the recent orders made by this Court in the cause and have reached the conclusion that the contention is without merit.
The several stay orders entered by this Court in the case at bar are each vacated and set aside and the petition for writ of certiorari is hereby denied.
It is so ordered.
