With only seven cents left after paying all bills. and nothing on hand to meet reeclver and counsel fees, a receivership report was made to Iudgo Webb in the Superior court this morning which about broke the record. The action brought by Nathan ".oldnian against the Bridgeport Nat- ural Handle t‘o., of which N.
