Case. THE OLD BOARD VICTORIOUS. ‘This morning, in the Court In General Term, Judge James delivered the opinion of the court in the case of the United States ex rel. James S. Edwards et al. agt. John C. McKelden et al.— the Mutual Fire insurance case—granting the motion to quash the indictments. After giving a full statement of the case, he considers the juestion—first, whethers the relators have a in in one writ, and reciting a number ses, he says: “It is plain that either of these relators has any /egal interest in the office of the others, his right must be purely several. His title stands upon its own se} ite basis of election, and whatever emoluments and advan- tages are incident to it enure to him separately, and not jointly with the others. The interests of all may be similar, but they are not in any sense common.” He does not dispose of the case on this technical ground, but considers the question Whether the relators appear to have Ltle to the offices into which they seek to be inducted. The objection is that the petition does not show affirmatively a good title, and the ground of this objection is that the meet- ings at which they pretended to have been elected had no legal capacity, being wholly unauthorized by the charter and the by-laws of the company. He then quotes the clauses of tbe act of incorporation relative to the election of managers, requiring two weeks’ notice to be given. The argument is that the time for holding the annual meeting being fixed for the 3d Monday of January, the members have that notice. Butitis to be ob- served that the members are to be notified of the place as Well as the time of the election, and the notice they are said to have by the by-laws re- iates only to the time. The opinion conctudes: It may be added that when the legisiature has indicated what shall be a proper length of notice when the members of a company are calied upon to choose their governing officers, it is not for the courts to determine what char- ter perlod serves the same purpose and accom- plishes the policy of giving notice. The object oi providing notice of meetings at which managers are to be chosen {s not merely that the electors may have that information in time to be pres- ent, but that they shall have due opportunity for inquiry and deliberation as to thelr choice before they go to the meeting. It might be prob- able that every one of the Corporators should be present even upon a single day’s waraing; but it is not only possible, but extremely pos- sible that most of them would, in such a case, exercise their rights as electors without due preparation and information. Clearly some allowance of time for this kind of preparation must be made, and what shall be a sufficient allowance is, in {ts nature, a rit subject for legislation not for judicial determination. And when the time allowed by the legislature has not been given it is almost a legal inference that the electors are not prepared for these duties, The principle which has been appealed to that a provision 1s to be treated as directory or mandatory according to the requirements of justice would, therefore, compel us to hold that a special provision for notice 1s mandatory. Since ample notice tends to defeat combinations to insure information concerning the candidates for election, in a word, to secure and protect the rights of all the members of a corporation, justice re- quires that they should have all the notice which the law has provided and that the provi- ston for that notice should be held to be man- datory. These conclusions are not only sup- porte general principles, but established by authority. [Here a number of cases are clted.} Inasmuch then as only ten days, instead of two seks’ notice of the meeting of January 20th, isi9, was given, we hold that the meeting which convened on that day had no legal capacity to enter upon an election of managers; and that it did not acquire capacity by adjourn- ing toa later day. If the corporators did not have proper notice of the original meeting, they did not have proper notice of its continuance. All of these meetings were equally invalid and were incapable to hold an election. It is shown by the petition which discloses these facts that the relators have no title to the offices into which they seek by the writ to be luducted, and the writ must be quashe ‘THE FIRE COMMISSIONERS AND THE DISMISSED FIREMEN are the subjects of an article in the National Republican this morning, based on anonymous communications, “none of which are admissible,” it says, ‘‘as no name accompa- nies them,” and then deliberately states the substance of them. This fs, to say the least, rather inconsistent. These ambushed corres- pondents fwe quote from the epee “com- plain of the unjust treatment of the dismissed liremen of Truck Company B, who shared Com- missioner Hume’s viands. They complain alike of the action of the Commissioners and the as- saults of the STaR since, contending that the offense was trivial and the punishment unrea- sonably severe. It is intimated in one of these communications that the case will be reopened and investigated by Commissioner W. B. Reed, ving the accused a fair hearing,which will re- state them. It is to be hoped that the true in- ‘wardness of this casewill bereached and promul- gated.” This hope is reasonable, and all good men and truecan joinin it, but the true in- Wardness will not come from anonymous scrib- blers but through the courts. The Fire Com- missioners are doubtless perfectly willing to abide judical inquiy, which will devélop whether the men were treated unjustly, or whether a proper regard for the safety of the community prompt the board. The STAR has not only not assaulted the dismissed men, but has been verycareful of them in dealing with suck a Case. It is hardly probable that Mr. Reed would give bis opponents such an advan- tage over him as would be afforded by his championship of the cause of these men even it he had the power alone and single handed to reopen and Investigate their case. He had better leave it to the courts to give them a fair hearing. The Republican says:—“Many people are led to wonder what the horse and carriage of a Commissioner are doing at a truck or en- gine house when the town is full of boarding Stables, where horses and carrlages are accom- modated without lumbering our public build- in wherein resides our safety from fire calamity.” It may lessen the wonder of these good people to be informed that Mr. Hume had been using his horse and carriage for the com- fort and convenience of the city’s visitors, the delegates to the national convention of fire engineers, sO that this was a case of private property used for public purposes instead of public property used for private purposes. The Republican closes its wonders thus:—“Others wonder still more at the defiant and tnsultin, manner with which the president of the ‘board of Fire Gommissioners treats the legal action of the Secretary of the Interior, The popular verdict seems to be that the president of the board should be relegated rivate life for a tyrannical arrogance toward the Secre- tary of the Interlor that is unendurable.” The Republican pays a y poor: compliment to the intelligence of its readers when it prints such stuff as this. What has the president of the fire board todo with the Secretary of the In- verlor, or vice versa?_ The question pending is as to the legality of Mr. Reed’s appointment as tire commissioner, a question which most cer- tainly the present fire board has nothing to do with. It does not P Beet the qualifications of its members, and cannot judge ot t! qual. ifications. It is the creature of the District Commissioners, to perform certain duties pre- scribed by law, has no judicial authority, and therefore nothing more to do with the points involved in this case thau the late lamented Board of Health.
