Liability Of Stockholders.

The supreme court Of the United
States in the case of Uptch, Assignee
of the Great Western Insurance Com
pany Of Chicago, against a subscriber
to the capital stock Of that company,
lays down not only some wholesome
morals, but also gives solemn warning
to all those who. expecting to got rich
by short processes, lend their natnes to
insubstantial companies, that they can
not escape With impunity. This case
was one Of ten thousand following the
collapse of insurance companies after
the Chicago fire. The company was
organised and subscribers to tho cap.
ital were obtained under an impression
that when they gave their notes for
twenty per cent Of their subscription
they would never be called upon to
pay any more or to become further H.
able. The profits Of the company we're
expected to pay the notes for the twen-
ty per cent. In confederation Of 4
subscription to $4,000 Of stock the
subscriber became = director.
When the Chicago fre carried down
the insurance companies, these stock
subscriptions became Of importance to
the creditors Of the company. and suits
we're instis isuted to recover the eighty
per cent unpaid subscriptions, The
supreme court has decided that the
liability Of the stockholders extends to
the full amount Of the subscription :;
and that even wheu a. in this case, the
certificate Of stock was stamped "non-
asssssable" the liabilities to the ctedi.
tors WAS unchanged.
This will be wholesome lesson to
all persons having any substance who
are tempted to subscribe to capital
stock, but who expect to escape any
liability therefor. They will recog-
nize in this decision : notice that
whom they accept stock 10 an iusur-
ance company they must count their
liabilities At one hundred cents On the
dollar Of their subscriptions, no matter
whether the understanding OF repre-
sentations may be shst they sre to pay
I've or hfty psr cent thereof. When
they lend their name and credit 70 !
corporation to deceive others, tho Law
will hold them 70 the full measure ot
their bond, and will not permit them
to lead their private undsrstaud;ar and
intsations.- Chicago Tribune.
