An Important Decision.

-
The Supreme Court, In the case Of
Brewster vs.. John Slime & Co., has just
rendered a decision Of Importance to
owners of stock. 1t seems that Brew
ster owned stock in a mining company
and, being about to leave for Europe,
Endorsed the certificates to his broker,
one Tilden, who had them transferred
to "Tilden, trustee" "Trustee" is
the convenient addendum to the name
Of the holder Of stock who desires to
escape any responsibility therefor.
The stock was not worth much, and,
desiring a loan, Tllden gave 1t as col
lateral security to John Slime g. Co.
When the time of tho loan expired
Slime sold the stock and applied its
proceeds to tho payment Of the loan.
Shortly after the stock rose to q high
figure. Brewster returned from Eu-
rope, and commenced suit against
Slime & Co. for the stock or its present
value, quite q large sum. The Supreme
Court now says that Brewster cannot
recover. Judge Crockett, delivering
the opinion Of the Court, says that the
trustee Is presumed to have unlimited
power to sell, hypothecate or other
wise dispose of the stock; that con-
sideratlons Of public policy and COM
mon justice demand that when stock
Is placed in the name Of a trustee"
under these circumstances the secret
owner shall be bound by the acts of his
trustee dealing with persons who have
no. actual notice of the relations be-
tween the parties. This rule Is un-
doubtedly correct, and, now being au-
t~horitatively announced, will enable
business men to act intclligently. One
effect of the decision Will DO that stock
owners will prefer to keep their stock
In their own names, and that when
creditors care to examine the books Of
the companies for the stockholders la
BILE for debts they will not find "trus-
tee" affixed to each name to avoid
responsibilities. F.. Chronicle.
