TIE following will be interesting to
holders of Mexican. Itgives the dec's-
ion in the late suit, and is taken from
the Virginia Chronicle: Yesterday morn
| ing Judge Mckee Of the Third District
Court, delivered decision in the matter
of the application Of L. P. Drexler vs.
the Mexican Gold and Silver Mining
Company to have the late election OF
officers of that company declared void.
Tn his opinion he held that the right OF
voting under the Code the charter OF the
company is not to be tested alone by the
fact that the stockholders name was on
the stock books ten days before the cleo
ton. but the voter must be a bona tide
holder OF the stock at the time OF the
election, and that consequently the
twenty odd thousand votes cast by proxy
for share holders whose names were not
on the stock book at the time OF the
election were illegal. Also. that under
the Code majority of subscribed capital
is reouired to elect. He, however, further
held that Section 315 of the Code, author
izino him as a judicial officer to act in
such q proceeding as that presented.
was unconstitutional, and therefore ne
dismissed the case. Appeal wIii be
taken to the Supreme Court.
