TIE CENTRAL VERMONT QUO WAR
HANTo.-The Supreme Court for Frank lin
County has decided the Central Vermont
g,to 3rarru1lto case, dismi>sing the petition.
The opinion WAS rendered by Judge Red
field. but not in writing. He briefly re-
viewed the points of the case rs to the
question OF practice. and held that the stat
ne being silent the English prac,icc was
the sole guide. AS to the merits of the
case they are addressed to the discretion
of the Court. and this is to be exercised
with reference to parties and property.
The corporation is Il receiver in execution
Of daily duties. and the displacement or
substitution of its officers might disarranCe
matters so rs to he injurious to the public.
This consideration woull not weigh
against 4 clear intrusion Of fraud or force
but in case of doubt it appeals strongly to
the discretion of the Court. As to the
question of right, he held that the $3.50
shares issued to Lrngdon 4 Mills on the
day Of election had been purchased bv the
corporation from the original subscribers
, and whether kept alive rs stock or not they
We're an ASSET which the company had the
right to sell and when sold were GOOD
, sock.
! The main question is AS to the validity
Of the sale 10 I-anrlon 4 Mills If it was
merely for voting, it was sham and :,
fraud; bat Langlon swea:S TINT it WAS al
, so to raise money to meet Il necc>Stv OF
the corporation. This proof came from
relation. and is not contradctcd. 1t is no,
the province of the Court to imagine con
ditluns that proof does not establish Al.
though the Court think that the coltroll-
ing motive was TO vote on stock. Vet the
, sale appears to have been actual and no,
colorado, absolute and not conditional
anu ms ever since been SO treated h,
: Lan@don and the corporation AS to the
! argument that it was not lawful for 4 Dor
ton OF the Directors to sell stock TO pre-
Jndlce hrs. that ac. WAS at the m ,st
. voi'ablr, but not void Those claiming t,
he injured could have applied to Il Court O
to hold the stock in trust for all, but tha,
= was an elective right which they did no
take. ii nee acquie>cence is to be enforc
. ed from lapse of time. Lrns,lon has tn.
right to say: " If cannot use this stock
which stands rs the sole equivalent for m,
money, hand my money back This pro
ceedln% IS not against him. As for tn,
directors meeting, called by telegraph. tn,
Court thinks the notice briet and in>ufiici
ent. and he adjournment of Il minority t.
the morning train would not have beer
:. good rs against any who might have rs
scmbel at Bellows Falls. But the meet
. ing IN the car is treated rs not held under
call or adjournment. and simply rs a ca>u
: i'll meeting of directors which under tn
rule held in Stark Bank c,se, 34th Yer
mont, was l.wful for the transactions o
: routine business; SO the sale to Lanodo
u, being at most voidabIe and no steps hay
u ing been taken to avoid it, the election g
I the Smith board is sustained.
. THE South CAROLINA FIGur.-Th
e Legislature of South Carolina is in scssio,
. again, and the fight between Gov. Cham
. berlin, and Moses and Whpper, who hay
:, been elected judges, but whom he refuse
to commission. is re-opened with increas
; ed obstinacy and feeling on both sides
The question will probably have to 90 f
t the courts for decision. As specimen G
