This is an appeal from an interlocutory .order, appointing a receiver to take charge of certain property involved in a suit brought by appellee for a divorce and for partition of said property. The appeal is authorized by statute, and the judgment of this court is final. Rev. Stats., arts. 1383 and 996.
After due consideration, our conclusion is that the pleadings and evidence bring the case within the first subdivision of article 1465 of the Revised Statutes of this State, which authorizes the appointment of a receiver at the request of a party jointly owning or interested in the property or fund, and where it is shown that such property or fund is in danger of being lost, removed, or materially injured.
The main case had been once tried and judgment rendered, granting appellee a divorce, and fixing the rights of the parties as to the property. From that judgment appellant appealed to this court, where the judgment was affirmed in so far as it granted the divorce, but was reversed and remanded for another trial as to property rights.
Appellant applied to the Supreme Court for a writ of error, and his application was pending in that court when the receiver was appointed. Hence he contends that the trial court had no jurisdiction to appoint a receiver.
We do not think this position is tenable. If it be conceded (which we do not decide) that a trial court has no jurisdiction to appoint" a receiver pending an appeal, we think that to deprive it of such jurisdiction it *81must clearly appear that the case is pending in an appellate court that has jurisdiction thereof.
As to the divorce branch of the case, the jurisdiction of this court is final; and so also is it final where the judgment of the trial court is reversed and the cause remanded for another trial, except in certain specified instances. Rev. Stats., art. 996. Therefore, the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction to revise the action of this court on the divorce branch of the case; and as the case was reversed and remanded as to property rights, and as it was not shown that it comes within one of the exceptions to the statute which makes the judgment of this court reversing and remanding a cause final, it was not made to appear that the Supreme Court had jurisdiction of the case.
Any party to a suit in any court may file an application in the Supreme Court for a writ of error; but, unless that court has jurisdiction to grant the writ, such filing of an application does not affect the jurisdiction of any other court over the case.
lío reversible error is assigned, and the judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
