The SCHUYLER FRAUD DEGsIoN.-In an article
on the recent decision in the Schuyler fraud suits,
the New York World, of Wednesday says.
The complications of the case, arising from the
lnnumerabie transfers and other operations, have
made the legal examination difficult and necessitated
a classification OF claimants None of the fraudu-
lent stock can be claimed to be part OF the capi-
tai OF the company. The spurious certificates
however, except under particular circumstances
which are specified, we understand to be held as
valid ground OF action against the corpora tinn for
damages. Judge Ingraham says:
1.-The present opinion suggests that the facts disclosed
on the trial do indicate the liability of the company for
the acts of Schuyler while protesting act as transfer
agent in the matter, apparently within the scope his
authority and when the fact misrepresened pecu
arly within his own knowledge
Under this decision If apprehend it rightly the
false certificates, when received and held in good
faith. are even better claim against the road than
the genuine, and their proper cost to the holders
may be collected after judgment, if property of the
company can be found to satisfy them. This is
severe but wholesome lesson to corporations, who
have no better right than individuals to evade the
responsibility of the acts of their accredited factors
