1. “Creditors without lien can not, as a general rule, enjoin their debtors from disposing of their property, nor obtain injunction or other extraordinary relief in equity.” Civil Code (1910), § 5495. “The power of appointing receivers and ordering injunctions should be prudently and cautiously exercised, and except in clear and urgent cases should not be resorted to.” Civil Code (1910), § 5477. 2. The facts in this ease do not bring it within any exception to the general rules, the plaintiff showing no lien upon or title to the property

of the defendant.
