8 THE COURTS. Important Decisions by the Supreme Court, General Term. THE LAKE SHORE AND MICHIGAN SOUTHERN SUIT Judicial Clouding of Widow Kellum’s Claim Against the City. THE MOULTON-BEECHER SUIT Rufus Hatch applied some time eince to one of the judges of the Supreme Court, in Chambers, for a per- emptory writ of mandamus to compel the officers of the Lake Shore and Micbigan soutborn Railroad Com- pany or its transfer agont to allow him, asa stock- holder, an opportunity to Inspect tho stock or trans- fer book and take a list of the holders, The applica Mon was dented, and from that decision an appeal was Jaken to the General Yerm, On the argument in Cham- bers the question arose as to whether this company was a corporation within this State or a foreign corpo- ration, and the saine arose on appeal, In the opinion of the Court, Presiding Judgo Davis says:—‘Tho act entitled ‘An act to compel transter agents of foreign corporations to exhibita list of the atock holders thereo!” {chapter 165 of the Laws of 1842, 3 Edwards, General Statutes, p. 677) 1 applicable only to the transier agents in this State of foreign corporations, The duties thereby created and imposed are put specifically upon such transfer agents, and not upon the corpora- tions or officers of the corporations which they repre- gent, And it is only upon such transfer agent or his clerk or officer that tho forfeiture proyided for by the second section of the act is imposed, Proceedings, therefore, tor a writ of mandamus to compel the ex- hibition of the transfer book of such foreign corpora. tion, and also a list of the stockholders thereof, can properly be taken against such transler agent ouly; for his neglect or refusal to perform the duties imposed Dy that act is not the nogiect of the corporation. So far ag this proceeding 1s intended to be brought under tho act of 1842 ft shonld have been directed against | the Farmers’ Loan and Trast Company for their alleged violation of duty, The words ‘foreign corpora tion or corporation existing beyond the jurisdiction of ate, a# used In such act, ure entirely synony- and have the same signification; for the words isting beyond the Jurisdiouon of this State,’ as used fa the act, incan simply having a €orporate existence from authority outside of the State. The question of purties, Lowever, Is not a very important one, because it the Court should be of opinion that the Lake Shore und Michigan Southern Railroad Company ts a foreign corporation, so that thoit transter agent Is subject to tne provisions ot the act of 1844, there would be no aulleulty in directing the writ of mandamus to such agent and dismissing the application as to all other parties.” The decision proceeds to hold that tis company 18 & domestic corporation created under the laws of this State and subject to ail the duties and obligations imposed by our Jaws upon domestic corporations. As to domestic cor- porations the Kevised Statutes make special provisions Tequiting that “the book containing the names of the stockholders in any such company shail at ail reasou- able umes daring the usual hours ol transactiag busi- Less be open to the examination of every stockholder of such company for thirty days previous to any elec. | tiou of directors, and imposing Uppn the officer having | charge of such books who shall refuge of neglect to | exhibit them, of submit them to examination, a penalty to be revovered by the injured party. I'he ob- ject of Unis statute 18 quite apparent. It intends to put it in the power of every stockholder for thirty days previous 10 any election of directors to ascertain tho names of all stockholders of the company, so that he cau exert such ifluence or use such lawlul means | ns ho may deem proper to effect the election of such Girectors.”” On the argument ot the cage betore tha Judge at Chambers, Mr, Henry S. Bennett, of counsel tor Mr. Hatch, took the apparentiy new and broud ground that at common law a stockuolder bad the right, under proper circumsiances, to examine the ooks of the company, Whose officers were to all in- tents and purposes bis agents, and that this right was hot cut off by the provisions of the statute, ‘To this octrine the Court would seotn to lean, trem Une lan- guage of the opinion, as folows:—“But the statuce does not, we think, cut off all rights of the stockhold- ers of a Corporauion to examine its transier vooks, lor proper purposes and on proper occasions, at ower limos, ‘There are no Worus in the statute indicating fuck an intention, nor any negation of the rights of stockholders which requires that construction, We think, therefore, whenever o case is presented that requires it to be done for the purpose of preserving the rights and fntercsts of stockhollers, the Court bus aright to utertere by mandamus and Comnpel the ex- hibition of the transfer books of the corporation or ihe books containing the names of its stockholders. But we agree with the learned Court below that the reasons for granting @ writ in such a Case should be clear and cogent.’ From all the papers in the case betore it the Court is satisfied there was neither ov- casion nor necesetty lor inverierence by tho oxerciza of the summary and arbitrary power of the writ of mane damus, “Ample remedies,” they conclude, “are af. forded by tho ordinary processes ot the Court to correct all the real or supposed Wrongs alleged by the relator 1o exist, and those remedies ought to be pursued 1 the case now presented,” The order of the Vourt below Is aflirmed. . STOLEN AND FORGED BONDS. Nine bonds of the Tebo and Neosho Railway Com- pany, without the company’s seal and without tho sig- bature of the president of the Union Trust Company, which were necessary to make them valid and nego- table, were stolen, Subsequentiy the Beal and the name ol the President were forged thereto, and they wore negotiated to Martin Mass and others for a valu- able considerauion. Suit was brought by these holders of the bonds to compel the Missoutl, Kansas and Texas Railroad Company to issue other bonds in place of the nine bonds in question, in pursuance of a contract of cunsolidation between that company and the Tebo and Neosho Company, by which they were to take the outstanding bonds of tho Tebo and Neosho Company and replace them with their own, The case was sent before a referee, who found against the com- pany, and thence an appeal was taken to the Ge i Yorm. Presiding Justice Davis, in the opinion of the Court, says:—"ibe qaestion is preciéely as though the cuion were brought upon the nine bonds against the ‘Tevo and Neosho Railway Company. It 18 weil settled jaw that where the bonds of a railway compa come into the hands of a bona tte purcaaser, vuiue, they inay be euforeed by suoh purchaser against tue Company, notwithstanding they bave im tact been sta irom some former older, or irom company itevlt; but think in no Ca has it been held that imestroments | purporting to be bonds of a railroad company, but whith are In fact forgeries, and never ud any legal jucepUion as obligations of the company, can ‘be en- jorced as Valid bonds because the forgery has been so skiliully performed as to deceive au innocent pur- chaser. Jt seems to US Unhetessury to enter upon an examination of the Numerous eases bearing ore or Jess nearly or remotely upon this question, It is enough, We think, Lv coustituie a perlect defence that the we the corporation 18 able 10 say, ‘These are not bonds ever made or issued by ua, bul are forgeries, upon Whieh ho hability ever sted of arose against us.’ ?? | After Biating that no 6 had appeared that the | form bad isaued the | received any consideration | raulied or coniirmed thei | or doue any act to induce the pure pinintiifs wai the inscrumen' bay :-="1t is nota NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 22, 1877.-TRIPLE SHERT. of the Court below that the German trans! play ha¢ been published or used by tho authority of the suthors, and the Court beid that in the absence of such authority the defendant acquired no right to use the play in tho United States by reason of ite unau- thorized publication tn Germany. We think these several facta were properly found by the Court upon the pleadings and affidavits in the case, plain. tiffs, with commendable courtesy and generosity, had offered to permit the defendant to produce the play at his theatre in the German language if he would an- nounce trom the stage and in his advertisements that the same was dono with their consent ana = aathority, Toie ‘the dofendant abso- jutely refused to do, It wasa reasonable request on the part of the pluintiffs, for they had a right io that maunor tO Protect their title against other iniringe- meats by persons who bad not their consent. It may be made to appear on the trial of the action that the pablication in German was with autvority, in which event te case may assume a different aspect, but as it now appears before us we think the decision of th Court below was correct, for the reasons assigned the opinion of Judge Donohue, and that the order made by him should ve affirmed.” Mr, Henty Web! appeared for Neuendorf, and ex-Judge Dittenhooter tor Mesara, Shook & Palmer. ARREST IN DIVORCE SUITS. In the divorce suit of Jamieson against Jamieson, on the ground of crue! and inhuman treatment of the wife vy the husband, the facts of which have already appeared in the Hxra.p, an ordor of arrest was granted against the defendant. This order was granted under seotion 179 of the Code, on the ground that the action was founded on injuries to the person. From ap order denying a motion to vacate this order of arrest an appeal was taken to the General Term.” ‘The Court sustains the decision, In the opinion, write ten by the prosiding Judge, ho says: “In this seat upop the facts alleged, tho acta ot the busban were in part criminal’ assaults and battertes tre- quently repeated, and which inflicted serious injuries upon the person of the plaintiff, These injurios gave her the right of action, the remedy jor which sho now pursues, and we think her cause of action may be properly described im the language of the Code as one i injury fo the person, If ao, the right to arrest the doteudant Is given by section 170 of the Code upon showing that the cause of action exists tn the manner described in another section of the Code. Upon care- tui consideration we have concluded, contrary to our first impression, that tho order of arrest in this cuse can lawtully be upheld, The case as presented to us js one in which this remedy should be permitted to be granted, if it oan be in any cave ol this character, The order appeaiod from 1s affirmed.” KELLUM’S CLAIM. Hannab Kelium, the widow and executrix of the late Mr. Keiluia, architect of the far famed now Court House, is secking to enforce in tho courts a claim as- scrted by her husband in his Iifetime againet the oly for compensation as supervising architect during the progress of the building. His compensation was to have been threo per cent of the entire cost of the build. ing, to be paid in monthly instalments. The city de- fended the action on tho ground that it had been sub- jocted to needless expenze by reason of tho unskiliul manner in wnich the work had been performed, tho damage resulting therctrom being claimed to have ex- ceeded plaints claim, Evidence was given on the tril to show neediess expense occasioned by tho negligence of the architect, and im puss- ing upon those facts the jury found a verdict in favor of the city. From that jadgment on appeal Was taken to the General Term, which now suse tains it. In the opinion of the Court, written by Judge Daniolg, it is held that if the jury were right as to tho facts the detence was logally made out, Services of this kind, if undertaken, the Iaw requires to be exor- cised with care and skill commensurate with the un- dertaking. ‘The audit of the bills by the Supervisors was no surrender ot the right to make this defence, Yhey did not pass upon the question of skiltuluces, that question not being involved tn the audit, THE WITTHAUS ESTATES. The cause of Rudolpho A, Witthaus, the late well known retired merchant of this city, came on yoater- day“for hearing, before Surfogate Calvin, on the peti- tion for lesters of administration On the estate of the deceased, dled by Messrs, Jacobs & Sink as attorneys Jor Mrs, Fanny Dougherty, an aged ‘washerwoman, for many years in the employ of the deceased, ana who is a croditor of the estate to the extent of about $2,500, for moneys of the petitioner which 8! had accumu. Jatod and on coposit, with the deceased at the time of nisdeath. Since the application by Mrs, Dougherty the widow of the deceased filed an applica- ton for letters of adininistration, and alleged that the personal estate of the decoased did not exceed $1,000, lor which sum she was willing to give bonds; but dirs. Dougherty objects, aud claims that the estate is much larger, and that the widow should bo required to file bonds in at least $60,000, The Surrogate lor the pres- ent withheld (he granting of lotters of adminisiration to tho Widow'and referred the mattor to Nr.
