decision was rendered by the supreme
court of New Hampshire few weeks ago,
embodying principle which has wide and
i'm portant application. The facts, briefly
stated, are these The Boston, Concord and
Montreal railroad and the Northern railroad
of New Hampshire, both terminating at Con-
cord, were dependent on the Concord railroad
for connection to the roads on the south which
enabled them to reach Boston with their trRf-
fc arrangements. Being dissatisfied with the
terms of their contracts with this connecting
link between Concord and Nashua, the presi-
dents of the two northern roads, with other
persons whom they secured in their interest,
bought majority of the stock of the Con
cord road and got themselves elected on its
board of direction, which they thereafter con
trolled. They were then in a position to
make their own terms with the connecting
road, as they were in effect contracting with
themselves. They not only sacrificed the in
terests Of the other stockholders in the Con
cord road by making arrangements favorable
to the northern roads, but presented certain
heavy claims against that corporation, and
had them paid by their own action as control
ling directors of the latter. Suit was brought
by one of the minority stockholders of the
Concord road to have the contracts made by
its board of directors set aside, to have the
directors whose interests were adverse to
those of the company by reason of their con-
nection with the other companies removed or
suspended, and have a suitable person or per
sons appointed to act in behalf of the Con-
cord road in all matters where those directors
were disqualified from acting on account of
their adverse interests. The court held very
positively and clearly that these directors
were disqualified. 1t said that director of
a railroad corporation stands in a fduciary
relation to the corporation and is under the
disability of a trustee. He cannot buy of
himself, sell to himself, contract with himself,
or secure advantages to himself not common
to other stockholders Many authorities are
quoted in support of this position, and it is
shown to apply to directors of one corpora
ton who are also directors of another and act
ing in its interest. It made no difference wheth-
er the contracts made between the Concord
road and the northern roads were Just and
mutually advantageous or not, the same men
acting as directors for both parties had no
right to make them at all This decision is
likely to have a wholesome effect in protect
! ing the rights of stockholders whose interests
are sacrificed by directors having other and
! ayerse interests tn RarVa
