Barlow, who still held 1000 ont of 10000
shares, and j. c. Hatton, owner of lOOC
shares, beside $38, 900 worth of bonds, inter-
vened and proved that Barlow had not pledged
his shares, and that the directors of the Cana
madam Pacific were only ordinary creditors OF
the company. The court decided to dismiss the
petition of the Canadian Pacific directors. dis.
