    Action by Emanuel Jacobus against the American Mineral Water Machine Company and others. From an order denying the appointment of a receiver and for an injunction pendente lite, the plaintiff appeals.
    Affirmed.
    Argued before VAN BRUNT, P. J„ and McLAUGHLIN, PATTERSON, O’BRIEN, and LAUGHLIN, JJ.
    
      E. Treadwell, for appellant.
    C. E. Kingsley, for respondents American Mineral Water Co. and others.
    Leo G. Rosenblatt, for respondent Diamond Soda Water Mach. Co.
    B. Tuska, for respondents Rothschild and others.
   PER CURIAM.

Instead of appealing, the plaintiff might have had the disputed questions of fact tried at the special term, the case having been reached on the November calendar. Where, as here, the facts are in dispute, and grave charges of fraud, wrongdoing, and bad faith on the part of the directors are -involved, those questions should not be disposed of on affidavits, when an opportunity has been given to have them determined at the special term after a trial.

The order should be affirmed, with $io costs and disbursements.
