The Potomac Company v. E. Gilman.
    A corporation aggregate, whose president and treasurer reside in this district, cannot be compelled to give security for costs, as being non-resident plaintiffs.

   The Court,

without argument, decided (nem. con.) that the rule could not be laid in such a case. The president and treasurer of the company reside in this district, and the company may be sued here.
