Iam cleary of the opinion that tho pie and proofs do not justify the con- tinuance of the injunction on the grounds or any or either of the grounds stated in the points of the piaintif’s counsel. I cannot say that the proofs establish the ment or understanding alleged in the complaint between the nine original projectors of the raiiroad scheme. I cannot aay that the proofs establish any trust relation between the plaintd and the defencants, Blair & Ames, other than the usual and necessary trust relation between a stockholder of a col ion and its directors or trastees. More- pa. A ic ig not pretended that a dividend or distri- of the bends or thelr proceeds bas been declared, and as this action cannet be viewed either as action an to compel the directors to declare a dividend or to enforce any alleged rigtt, lien, equitable claim or in- terest of the plaintiff, or to & certain stare or portion of parcel of said bonds og their procesds claimed by the ee Blair & Ames, or either of them, ag a declared dividend, I cannot see how the Injunc- toncan be continued without an interference with the Pights of atockhoiders not parties and an adjudi- cation by this court of questions not properly within its jurisdiction. I will add that I think the weight of the evidence is that the dircctors have not intended and do not imtend to deciaro any dividend or dixiri- bation of the bonds or thefe proceeas among the stockholders.
