of the court and of any receivers appointed by it, and the rights and remedies of

creditors and stockholders shall be as prescribed in chapter fourteen of Title 14

of the Revised Statutes. The court may proceed in the action in a summary manner or otherwise. B. No receiver shall be appointed by the Superior Court to exercise the powers prescribed
