NEW YORK AND RICHMOND STEAM
SHIP LINES

the New YORK and Virginia steamship Company
was chartered IN 1850, the charter to run twenty
years. In 1867 the directors or the company sold
to the Old Dominion Company. rival line, run
ming between New York anu Richmond, Va, their
two steamships Niagara ana Saratoga, for $37, 500
cash and 1000 shares Of stock In She latter COM
pany. subsequently they sold TO the same company
the Yazoo for $4,000 Their remaining steamer, the
Creole was lost, but $4,000 obtained on her in
surance. John N. Kranchon, as the representative
OF stock in the New York and Virginia Steamship
mDanH brought suit against Francis Skiddy and
three other directors. claiming that this was
fraudulent sale OF tue company's properly ;
that the steamships were worth $500 900 ;
that the stock taken for them was
worth but nifty per cent; that Skiddy,
through CHS transaction became q director
in the Old Dominion line. and that he and the
other directors against whom the SUIT Is brought
acquired advantages to which they were not en-
titled lie asked that the sale be set aside and
that the defendants render an accounting 70 all
the stockholders choosing to come into the suit.
The case was tried before Judge Van Worst, at Su
yesterday In a lengthy opinion He holds that a
sale by directors OF the property OF the company
SO as TO destroy its business Is not lawful bur.
under the circumstances, the company DeDg
largely in debt its creditors pressing and the bust
ness a losing one. through competition with Two
other lines, that their action was Justinable As
the price obtained was a good one, the steamers
selling three years later for $780, 00 and they
offered tue stockholders q pr0p0rtionate interest
in them, which they got on terms, and as the
plalntn 80 long delayed his action, he decided
that they were not in fault but directed that
formal accounting should be made, and gives
minute directions rs 70 the manner OF making such
accounting.
