It wae snid in Boggs' caso that if tho corporation Lave power, by oharter or pro- soription, to romova him (a mombor) for . roa- sonobla caueo, that will bo per legom torrm." In tho caso at bar, tho chartor gives to tho DBoard of Trade tho right ‘“to expol such Ecreous 88 thoy may geo fit.” In Lovd ruce’s cnge (2 Birainge, 800), tho Court snid ¢ ““Tho modorn opinion hus boon that o powor of amotion is incident to tho corporation,” and Lord Manaflold, in Ren v. Riohardson, said : Wo all think that modorn opinion is right, It is nocessary to the good order and good govorn- ment of corporate bodica that thoro should bo such & powor, as much a8 the power to mnke by- laws." " Lord COoke says : ‘‘'Thero is a tnoit con- dition amended to tho purchaso, which, if ho bronks, ho may bo disfranchised,” Having cited tho thrao classos of casos for which a corporation may Do disfranchised, Lord Mansflold as to the socoud olnss savs: “Dut whoro tho officor is moroly against bis dutyas a_corporator, unless tho power is Incident, Tranchises or offices might De forfoited for offonsios, and yot thoro would be no moans to oarry tho lay into oxceution.” As for all those offonses which mako tho mombor infatnous and unflt to dischargo any public oftico or duty, it has uniformly boon held that tho of- fendor must bo firat tried by a jury and conviet- -od bofore he can be disfranchised. . Angoll aud Amen on Corp., Beo. 412, ~ _ WIERE THE DOARD MAY TRY AND EXTEL, But as that claes of offonos which involve a broach of duty s a corporator, it lins uniformly hoon held thai the only forum to which ho was amonable was . tho corporation against which ho bad offonded. o question to bo tricd i8 whether he has brokon conditions annoxed to the franchiso, and:such a trisl by tho corporation is itsoelf a trial per legem terrac. Tho Coustitution nevor intendod to vest tho wer to try such questions in tho courts of finum. 'To do 60 would overthrow the sdjudi- cations of tha last 160 years. Tho potitionor, not having committed} any offonso which hns ron- dored him infamous, if tried at oll, could only bo tried for Lie broach of duty ss & cur[mmwr. ond then only by the corporation pf whioh ho was o membor. Tho facts in referonco to their trial 18 set forth in the anewoer of rospondont, do nob diffor matorially from thoso disclosed in tho youuon and nood mot bo ngain robearsed. lnagondm}t claims {n his suswor that tho potitioner was proporly and legally tried, con- Yvioled, and susponded by the Bosrd of Directors. Tho potitionor donics that the Board of Di- roctors had nn{ power to try him, and insists in argumont. that, it any power oxists anywhoro but in the courts, it oxists in the whole body of tho corporation; in other words, that os tho power to expel was, by the clarter, conferred to tho corporation, they could not dologato thab poer tonsmallor numbor of that body, the ard of Directors. Tho charter of the Board of Trado givos to it the right to make rules and rogulations for tho governtnent of the body, not contrary to the laws of tho land. In giving to the Bonrd of Trado the right to chc!, the char- tor odds the words * in manner to be prescribed by the rules, regulatious, and by-laws thercof.” By Boction 9, of Rule b, the Honrd of Trado has suthorized tho DBoard of Dircctors to suspend mombers who, aftor examination, had beon found to bavo failed to comply promptly with the t:’m.s of any buajness contract, written or vorbal, 3 POWER OF THETOALD OF DIRECTORS TO BUSPEND, Tho quostion as to tho right upon tho part of tho Board of Tradoe to delegate this power of susponsion is one not free from dimnul?. In Auly and Ames on Corp., Sec. 452 (pago o1y it is naid tho powor of o motion and disfranchise- ment, unless it has beon oxprossly confided to o partiSular pordon or oleas, is to bo osorcised by Lio person or class in whom the right appointing or admiftiog 18 bestowed, To tho samo offcot 18 tho languago in Wilcook on Corp., pago 246; 3 Kent Com,, 208 (369); 8 Dunn and East, 200; n v.

It was not directly detormined, but it was assumed by Lord Mansfield, that it may Le transferred to a elect body by's by-law in the samo monnor as the right of oloction.” Auly & Ames on Corp., Seo, 433, pogo 402, On the other hand, tho caso of the State ve. Milwankee Chambor of Commerop, decided that tho power of a motion granted to the body of tho corporation could not bo delegated unlcss tho power to dnlogntu was oxpressly given by tho chartor. Tho Court, in that case, said that it had not boon direotly dotormined’in nny cnso that tho power might bo trausferred to o solock body by the whole corporation. But the lan- guago of Kent is directly iu favor of such a dele- gation of power, and ho cites tho caso of Rex, v. Spencer, where Manafleld says : * Whon the power of making by-laws is in the bodf at largo they may dologate thoir rights to n soleat body, who bocomo tho_representatives of tho whole community.” Dillon, in his work on muwici- pality corporations, pago 217; Bootion 180, note 4, says that Lord Mausfield scemod to bo of opin- don that it was compotent to tranafer tho nowor of amotion from the wholo body to o solect body by an ordinsnce or by-law, but that the mation sooms not to have beon direotly doter- o THE PAGE CASE CONSIDERED. 1t thoro wero no direct adjudication, tho opin- lons of two such Iawyers as Lord Mausflold and COhancellor Kent would bo entitled to sttentive considoration. In this uncertainty of the law it becomes important to oxamine the case of Thoe Poople ex. rel. Pago v, Chicago Board of Trade. (46 1il,, 113), "That caso was_docided in 1867, two years -later than tho Milwaukeo Cham- ber of Commeorco oaso. That cnse was trigd beforo =~ me in this Court, and the judgment horo rondored was affirmed in tho Buprome Court. Neithor in this nor in the Supremo Court wore the two quostions last die- cussod made in argument. It was not contondod that the aot of tho Board of Direclors in sus- onding Page was oithor an assumption of the judioia! functiona belonging only to the_courts, nor that the power to suspend could not bo dolo- ated to it by the Board of Trado, Thoso ques- gionu not having been argued, the judgment in that case is not to bo considored o8 an authorita- tive docision upon thoso points. But it s equally truo that if oithor point is well taken, the docision {n tho Pago osso ought not cither in tho Clrcuit or Bupreme Court to have boon in favor of respondont. Pago was tried by the Bonrd of Diroctors, aa was tho peti- tionor, and susponded undor tho same rulo and for tho samo rouson that potitionor was suspond- od. Tho trials wero in sovoral rospects difforont, but the complaint in each caso was to tho samo board, and contained substantially the samo charges, and tho final action was alike aud under thio same rulo, Tho unreasonablencsa and injuatico of tho by- law was tho principal point relied on in tho argumont of the ago ouso, and tho {:rlnclpnl oint dwelt_upou by the Court; but iho gonrh, in dolivering " its opinion, eaid that tho chartor of tho Board of I'rado gave *the power of expulsion, and under that power the corporation has ndurtod this by-law,"—tho yory ono now under considoration,—** providing that if a member fail to comply with s busiuess con- tract mado with another ember, lio shall bo oxpollod.” In our judgmont though it (the rile) might somotimo operato Laruhly, it is woll adaptod “to secure tho objoot we have above namod, aud proservo the high character and orodit of tho Doard.

Under tho prosent atatuto, the answer to tho potition stands in the placo of tho rolovivato common law, sud if it does not ot out tho tacts above stated, - it is obnoxious to o domurror. Docs tho answor in this case show that tho potition was triod in accordance with tho rulos above sot forth? It docs not appear from that answer that the meoting of the Board of Diroctors was tho regular mosting which, by tho %Aln\vs, is on tho socond onday of overy month, nor does it appear that the Directora wora noverally notifiod to appoar, and also_noti- fled of tho subject matter which would bo called to their "attention. It io_true that tho answor statos that tho Board was rogu- Jarly convened and duly organized, but such & stafemont is not tho cnmmequlma in'such & ploading. It must discloso the fact from which the Court can oo that tho Board was rogulnrly convenod. It appears by tho rules of tho Bonrd of Trade, that tho Board of Dircotors consiats of thirtoon mombors, seven constituting o quor- um. It appoars by tho anawor that tho potition- or was susponded by a vote of 5 _agninst and 4 for him. notified of tho meeting, and the nature of the business to bo transacted, it is possiblo that all the mombors of said Board would have been [lmnonl. Inasmuch as the answer does not state bat they wero overally notiflad of tho timo, place, and objoct of tho meoting, I hiavo the right to nssumo, for the purposes of this opin- {on that thoy woro not go notifled, aud, if not, it cannot bo #aid that tholr notifloation would not have produced a difforent rosult in this cago, NO PNIOOF TAKEN, Again, tho answor doos not shoiw that any proof was takon boforo tho Board of Diractors in sup~ port of the charges against petitioner. ‘ Tho nuewer shows that ho and J, B.

To call tho unsworn statoments of an; map “ proof, in any sonko n which thot word is omployed in Iaw, would bo simply absurd, Tha petitionor was entitled to n trial, mot boforo a court, not bofore tho whole corporation, but bo- fore the Board of Dircctors, reprosonting tho corporation against which ho was alleged to have ofonded, sand that that was to bo & fair tral, mpon roasonable notico to him, and npon logal ovi- donco, and upon that aione could he bo con- victed, He was Eonunnaud of a_valuable fran- chiko, for which ho had {mldn large sum, and from which ho derived a large incomeo, Ilo could not bo doprived of this but by the law of tho land, and that law had proscribod the mothe od in which ho could bo disfranchised, It may Lo alloged by tho answer that J, B.

Tho Sanitary Suporintondent’s roport for tho ‘woak onding July 10 shows thonumbor of denths to Linvo beon 428, an incresse of 107 ovor tho procoding weole, Of those 208 wore males and 185 fomalos ; under 1 yoor, 243; botwoon 1and ‘B, 78, Cholera infantum coused the donth of “149, cholora morbus of 18, convulsions of G0, -oonsumption of 11, diarrhon of 33, small-pox of -11, and meningitis of 7. Thomoan temporature -of tho wook was 76.5°, Tho mortality by wards wasas follows : Third, 17 ; Fourth, 6; Fifth, 10 ; Sixth, 27; Sovonth, b1 ;.

' In his romarks, Dr, Rauch says : Tn the ab gonco of an opidemio, the inoreaso in the num- bor of denths ovor last wook {a vory great; tho only approximation during tho last six yoars was the incroaso for tho weok cnding July 5, 1872, ‘whon jt'was 102, The same was also fruo with rogard to tho total number the only wook that could be compared to it waa tho weok onding August 10, 1873, whon tho numbor of deathe was 417, Tho probabili- tics aro that the mortality of the woek onding July 19 would bo groator than for nny wook this year, and, unloss gront moteorological changos toold placo, tho docronso of the coming wook would bo a8 groat aa tho inorenso of that ook, Taking the mortality of tho last six wooks, and compating it with i samo timo last yoar, there was still a decroaso of 178, and from July 1 to July .19, this year, thoro aro O less doaths, There woro 51 moro deaths this wack than last, {rom cholera infantum, 6 from cholora morbus, 18 from diarrhes, and 8 from small-pox. The inoreaso in the ‘causos of death waa 21, o groater number than ho had ovor known in o woek boforo, Tho meau daily temporaturo was 12,5° highor than last woek, a_greater clhange - than hind ocourred in any weok during the sum. ‘mor months in soven years, Whilo tho wook Lad beon the hottest of the year, tho fluctuations of tho tum‘mmmm Woro alo romarkable, tho rango within tho woek being 429, Almost Lalf tho iu- creaso of tho woak took place in tho Sevonth and. TFifteonth Wards, whoro thore is tho lenst drain- ngo. Tho offoot'of crowding, was also. quito manifest in thoincroass intho Third and Eleventh Wards, All ‘tho deaths from cholers morbus wore among immigrants, or persons who had been dobilitated by provions discasos, or guilty of oxcssa I eating and drinking, Tho gonoral sunitary. condition of tho oity is good. There was & marked docronso in the number of houses infootod with wmall-pox, aud thoy. would proba- Dly continuo to grow less, on accoant of tho cx- traordinary precautions taken by the Sanitary Police. .

Tho subject under consideration was the construction of a ship cannl from Lako Huron to Loko Ontario, which should aid in sonding vossols direct from Ohlea-~ go to Liverpool, and savo 600 milos by tho way. Among thoso most intorosted were Gov. Broes ond tho Hon, F. C. Caprool, Prosident of tho Huron & Ontario Bhip Canal Company. Yes- terday tho latter of theso gontlomen arrivod in Ohicago and tookeup his quarters ot the Bhorman Houso, whore ho remained all day discussing maltors with Mr, Blaine, a prominent momber of ‘the Dominion Governmenf, The mission of theso two gentlomon is to call a meoting of shippors, Board of Trade men, and tho Govornors of tho Northwestern Statos, and to exhibit to them tho minutely propared plang and specifications which ho has brought with Lim, Theso plans are in overy way remerkablo.
