“ Such a bill can only be maintained by one or more creditors in behalf half of all, and not by any one creditor to secure payment of his own debt to the exclusion of others. Sawyer v. Hoag, 17 Wall. 610, 622; Patterson v. Lynde, 106 U.S. 519, 1 Sup. Ct. Rep. 432; Johnoson v. Waters, 111 U.S. 640, 674, 4 Sup. Ct. Rep. 619. In Hatch v. Dana, 101 U.S. 205, the bill of a single creditor, which was sustained by the court, was brought in behalf of himself, and all other creditors of the corporation who should come in and contribute to the expenses of the suit. ”
