Where an Act of Parliament authorizes a corporation to mortgage its tolls, and co., this Court has jurisdiction to appoint a receiver of them, though no such express power is given by the Act. But the receiver over such property ought not to have committed to hint any powers of management which ought properly to be exercised by the Corporation itself.
Where one clause of an Act of Parliament directs specific acts to be done, but which acts would be included in the general terms of a subsequent prohibitory clause, the former clause is not controlled by the latter.
