The WASHINGTON CITY SAVINGS BANK
Yesterday In the Supreme Court of the
United States the case of Hornor VS.. Hen
ming and others, trustees of Washington City
10 Tot
the District OF Columbia, was decided. In
this case II Is held that the act OF Congress
making the trustees of corporations liable to
the creditors OF the corporation personally
where they knowingly assent TO an increase
of its Indebtedness beyond the amount OF its
capital stock, was intended to make the
trustees liable as for a breach of trust, and
that this liability constitutes a fund for the
benefit OF all the creditors in proportion to
the amount OF their debts, so far as necessary
10 pay them, and that, therefore, one creditor
cannot be allowed TO sue on his claim to the
exclusion Of others. Mr.. Justice Miller de-
livered the opinion, affirming the decision
below.
