When any such company has mortgaged its property or any part thereof to any person, in trust, for the security of its creditors, or any class of them, and has made default in the payment of principal or interest due such creditors, any such creditor may bring his complaint to the superior court, for any judicial district in which such railroad or any part thereof is located, setting forth such fact and claiming that such trustee may be placed in possession of such property, for the benefit of such creditors. Such complaint shall be heard and determined at the first session of the court to which it is returnable, unless continued for reasonable cause; and, if the allegations therein are found true, such court shall decree that such company and its president and directors, under a suitable penalty, shall surrender such mortgaged property to the trustee, for the benefit of such creditors.
