Central Trust Company v. Grant Locomotive Works

In Central Trust Company v. Grant Locomotive Works, 135 U.S. 207 (1890), certain decrees were set aside at a subsequent term of the court of its own motion. The decrees "determined the ownership of the locomotives and the right to their possession; that they were essential to the operation of the roads by the receiver, and should be purchased by him; that certain designated amounts should be paid for the rentals and the purchase price, which amounts were made a charge upon the earnings, ... and that the amounts should be paid by the receiver." Apparently there was no reference at all to a master for an accounting, and the decrees were held to be final.
