passed as follows:
WHEREAS, His Honor James D. Arm
strong has recently decided, in the case of
Jacob Miller, &c. vs. the Berkeley Coun-
ty Agrie ultural and Mechanical Associa-
lion, that any person who has signed his
name AS a guarantor OF the debts OF said
association, ma. at his pleasure compel
sale of the fair grounds owned by it no
matter how utterly and motor ously insol-
vent said guarantors may be and no mat
ter that he has never paid and probably
never will ply one cent Of his liability for
said debts; and
WHEREAS, 1t is probable that this opin
ion of Judge Armstrong NAV be called
into effect at the next term of our circu
court by some one or more o. said insolv-
ents, requiring sale of said property;
now with view Of projecting this asso-
citation against the eff cts of this forced
and unnecessary sale, should it be ordered
by the court, it is
Resoloed, By the stockholders of the
said association, now in general meeting
assembled, that the Board OF Directors be
and they are hereby authorized if they
deem il proper, to appoint an agent Of this
association with full authority TO purchase
the said fair grounds on behalf of this as
ISOLATION, which property, when 50 pur
chased, shall hereafter be held precisely as
it is now held as the property Of the pres
ent Stockholders of said association, sub
ect to all existing liens upon it, excluding
from the benefit Of such purchase all who
are reported by the commissioners a5 in
solvent guarantors and others, who may
combine with said insolvents in demand
ing said sale, except that the p' rsons here
referred to, shall as heretofore retain MI
the; rights as stockholders, if ey have
already or shall hereafter pay for their
stock.
