In order to make things equal there were also issued about ¥15,000,000 to the stockholders of the Western Union Tele- geaph Company for nothing, which was 1o be divided among them ostensibly to represent pa ' aceretions of earnings to the cupital swek of the compary. A large amount of stock was also issued for the Atlantic and Pacitic stock which was held by the Western Union Telograph company, and that, too, was divided among the stock- holders of the Western wo suits, which were brought to pre- vent the consummation of the contract of the 19th of January and to enjoin the ssue of stock. Both suits were brought in the Superior court of the city of New York, and upon a motion for an injunc- | tion in the case of Mr. Williams, which was argued before Judge Sedgwick, that Judge beld that the contemplated ' issue of 16,000,000 of capital stock, to rep- resont past accretions to earnings, was unlawful; that it could not be done by the directors, his was appealed to the genoral term of the same court. Soon afterward a motion was made in the Hatch case, be- [ for Judge Spier, and he followed Judge ick, and held that the proposed 000,000 stock was illegal, and an injunction was issued in that caso also, which was also appealed to the general term. Then the case came to be tried before Judge Truax, when udge Truax reversed the decisions of his associates, and that the ntemplated contract was legal. This judgment, of courso vacated the injunctions which had been issued in the case, and allowed the contract to be carried into effect. On appeal to the general term of the Superior Court, however, it was unani mously held that Judge Truax was in er- ror, and that tho other Judges of the Court—Judges Sedgwick and Spear— were correct in declaring the transaction to be illegal. From that decision the Western Union appealed to the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals advanced the cause on the calondar, without giving any reason therefor, and ordered it to be argued on the 10th of June, at Saratoga. It was then so argued, The dispatches from Albany inform the public that the decision of the gener- al term of the Superior Court is reversed, and that the decision of Judge Truax is affirmed, all the points being decided in favor of the corporation; thatthe decision is mot joined in by Judge Ruger and Danforth because theyarestockholders in the telegraph company. All the facts of the consolidation of the three companies, with the increase of the capital stock, are recited in the epinion rendered by Judge Ea uch in detail. The stockholder's rati ion of the di- rectors’ action is reviewed, The plain- tiff became owner of stock ' January, 1881, and this suit was c menced in February, charging an unlawful combination and conspi acy, and that the value fixed on the Awerican Union and the Atlantic and Pacific was extravagant and fraudulent Bofore the suit the stock had divided, and the plaintiff objected to the puyment of the st dividend of §16, 000,000, as a violation of law and breach of trust on the part of the directors, for which they were personally liable for the Under the act of 1875, even if there is no provision for wo of stock in its charter, a corpo- n s allowed to increase its capital stock after ady ing certain notice and obtaining the written fourths of the amount of stockholder That act is held to furnish ample authe |Iy:Iur the Western Union increase of | capital stock, —— Hoadly Again Prostrated.
