The payment by a privately-appointed receiver-manager of the unpaid wages of the employees of the debtor company (1) was the payment of "salary or wages" (as opposed to "gratuitous benefactions made in order to earn and preserve the good-will of the persons who had been employees of" the debtor company, as was contended by the receiver-manager) and (2) was made by the receiver-manager on its own decision, and not by the debtor company (notwithstanding that the debenture stated that the "receiver shall for all purposes be deemed to be the agent of the Company".)
