COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF BALTIMORE CITY
    Filed September 20, 1889.
    NEWTON C. SEARCH ET AL. VS. THE SEARCH SOAP CO.
    
      C. G. Rhodes for petitioner.
    
      Steele, Semmes & Carey for mortgagees.
   DUFFY, J.

The corporation made a chattel mortgage to Charles E. Ellicott et al., preferring claims held by the mortgagees against the corporation and excluding all other creditors. The plaintiff filed a petition to have the corporation declared insolvent. Ellicott et al. demurred to the petition on the ground that a corporation could not be declared an insolvent. The Court overruled the demurrer.
