The smt was brought 1o good faith to test his }ability sud collect tho dobt. Thero wea no agreement, nuderstanding, or stipulation with Mr. Walkor, of any kind, oharacter, or description. 1liaving had aince tho fire of Octobor, 1871, & lsrge amount of claims against bankrupt iusurance com- panies for collection, wo woro lod to oxamine the various laws of this Blato with tho view of ascortainiog whothor thoro was not somo hability otlor than tho assots of tho companies out of which colloctions could be mado, lIn tho course of thin oxumination we found that the Constitution of 1818 provided * that ducs from corporations should ba secured by such fudividual linbilities of the corporators or othor mezns as may bo proscribed by law," and that all of tho bankrupt tnsuranco coms anios ot Chicago had been charterod and organ~ [zod undor thfa Conatitution, and, consequontly, wero subject to its provisions. Provious to 1859 tho Logislaturo had taken no measuros oithor to rogulate Insurance comuanics or to provide for tho enforcoment of this individuat Jisbility, In that year tho General Insuranco law was Xnnud. by which Inw all compauiea woro subjectod to the suporvlsion of tho Auditor of Public Acconnt, whio waa suthorized to ozamine tho capital and asants, and 600 that they woro properly investod for the socurity of tho creditors.” This law do- olared that tho capital atock of all compsaies organized undor it should bo paid upin full, ond, nutit it was 0 pafd_up, that the ‘Crusteck and corporators should be individually lisble for tho dabts of the Company to an sinount oqual to the smount of atock subscribed. It furthor declared that all companies thoretoforo organized and thon doing businoss 1atho State shonld be brought undor all tho provisions of the law, ox- cept thag their capital stocky, a8 to smount sud character, might remain tho samo aa provided in their rospective chartore. It farther appearod that the ciarters of noarly all of thono compaules wore subjoct to sltoration, amondment, or ro- poal by the Logislature, or wers subject to alt foturo laws which might bo passod on the mat- ter of insuranco. With thoso tacts boforous, wo camo to thooonolusion that the stockholdors wero individually hiable to tho croditora to au amount equal 1o the amount of stock held by cach.

Walker, not to prooure o favorable decision, but to procurs from tho Bupreme Court an fn- torpretation of tho Iaw, which wo concelve wo bad right to do, no long_as wo proscntod nn actual caso fonuded upon focts betweon roal par- ttey, If this thing had been & fiction and wo had ough to imposo on the Supromo Court false statomonts oithor 8 to partios or ms to focta, wo would have been properly subjeot to Junt ponalties. But wo insist that wo wero law- fully and of nght 1o thst Court, and that wo rightfully aaked ite docision ag to the Iaw. The idon promulgated in tho pamphlot sigoed by tho nidverse counsol that {t {s within tho powor of any attorney to influepce tho decislon of the Buptome Court o & quention of law 14, to say the least, n novelty in our profos- sional oxperionce. ‘I'hat Court will cortsinly feol flattorad by the insinuations of these gontlomen that it did .not comprohend the laws of the Stato. 1f wohad gotton up a flctitioun case, or imposed falseliocds mpon tho Court as facls, mado misstatoments, or misled the Court, thero would bo just ground for complaint, but this case waa a reality; it was bya policy-boider, who hiad sustained a loss by firo, agaigst a ntockhold- er iu a company of which the capital was not aid up. All the Iaw boaring on tho subject was Pafora tho Court. Tha caso was argued orally, aud the Court fully informed aa (o tho question of lisbility. If the docision was orroncous, whila wa iugist that 1t was not, thoro la a metliaq farreviewing it.
