 UNDUE DELAY OF THE PETITIONERS.
 Within the time which elapsed between the Morris subscription October, 21, ,1869) and the bringing of the injunction suit November 30, 187O.) the judge finds that the following action of the company and of other subscribers had occurred, based up- on Me 0alidity of the Norris subscription
 Individual subscriptions were made to the amount of $18s. 500, conditional on the subscription by towns of not less than $21O,000. The amount subscribed by towns has been $215, 400, including the Morris subscription of $2O.6oO upon the validity of which, therefore, depends the whole of the aforesaid individual subscrip- tions. Moreover the last subscription of the town of Litchfield for $19, ,500 was made upon the belief that tho sum of $3s0. 900 had already been subscribed and would not have otherwise been made Furthermore the railroad company voted
 
 stock subscription reached the amount of $4O0, ,000. to complete which the Morris subscription is required. Furthermore, the company. relying on the validity of the Morris subscription and una- ware that the same was in any way ques- toned, was thereby induced to con- mence construction of their road, to exe- cute important contracts therefor, to make surveys, to purchase large quantities of material. rights of way, and to expend large sums of money, for said purposes and in grading their road and erecting bridg. es-which they would not otherwise have done. An installment of ten per cent of their capital stock had been called in also. Moreover on the 18th day of November, 1870, the town of Morris instructed their selectmen to borrow money to pay their said subscription. The petitioners knew of the subscription by the town of Morris, and they had a general knowledge of the aforesaid proceedings and of the expendi- lures of the company and that they were made upon the faith that the Morris sub- scription was good and valid. yet they in- stituted no proceedings to test the validity of that subscription until the bringing, of this petition. t=24 f7s"4I ,lila4t
