I" CLARKE TRACT"
Adoption of bylaws by a Corporation
Not Necessary.

Adoption of bylaws by Corporation
Not Necessary.
In the case Of Bacon VS.. Sonoma Valley
Land Company, Sonoma Valley Improve
ment Company, Maxwell and others, Judge
Hoge has placed an opinion on file. The
purpose of the suit is to enforce the rights
of the Sonoma Valley Land Company tC
various tracts of lands and certain water
rights, and to compel the conveyance by the
defendant Maxwell and the Sonoma Valley
Improvement Company of certain lands.
During the trial all these claims were
substantially abandoned and the contest re-
duced to a claim of the clarke Tract,
containing III acres in SOnoma County.
The defendant Maxwell was Vice-Presi-
dent, managing director, counsel aud adj
wiser of the said companies, and he secured
Croker for President and Doutty for Di-
rector, both railroad men. by giving them
800 shares each.
In March. 1883, the Clarkes conveyed to
Maxwell the =" Clarke Tract" for $4,000, of
which amount $4,000 was paid down. A
failure to adopt bylaws was relied upon by
defendants as an absolute dissolution OF
the corporation, and they claimed that Max
well was at liberty to deal with said lands
as his own personal and private property.
Judge Hoge holds that the adoption OF
bylaws is not an essential requisite to the
life of the corporation, and that the entire
defense rests upon this single proposition.
He adds:
am Of opinion that The SonOna Valley Land
Company is entitled 10 a decree directing The
conveyance of tie "Clarke Tract" from the I'm
proyement Company, subject to tine mortgage 10
tile Claikes aud The payment OF lie $4,000 ad-
yanced by Maxwell. The suit should be dis
missed as to the defendants Cady aud others,
having no interest In the land in question, and as
10 whom tie case was abandoned on the trial.

wanted to see the exhibit all together.

BALDWIN VS.. BURRIS.
Judge HOge ScOurges Defend
ants Attorneys.

Judge Hoge has given his opinion in the
case of Bald win VS.. Burris and others, an
action to set aside certain deeds, among
others the deed from Mrs. Baldwin to de-
PENDANT, Mrs. Petitpiere, her daughter, upon
the ground that it was obtained by intinli-
dation and fraud. Mrs. Petitpiere claimed
ownership of the entire property, valued
at about $780, against her mother, and
offered defendants, Burris and Kinley, her
attorneys, one-half the property if they
won her claim. Referring to the action Of
these attorneys in intimidatIng Mrs. Bald
win into signing certain deeds, the Judge
states:
Not the least questionable tact in this case is
that men calling themselves members Of an
honorable and nlgi-minded profession should
lend themselves 10 transaction like this, aud
should procu: e al aged woman 10 be brought TO
their own offices and subjected 10 process cal
cuated and intended to alarm and frtghIen her
10 their purposes, and finally by the same means
10 eXtoTt a conveyance from her OF valuable
property, without compensation and without
help from friends and counsel; not only this, but
to insert in that deed, pretended 10 be In COM
promise, stlpulat0ns virtually endangerlng The
balance OF her propery and placing herself In
their IOwer, and mat, too, upon the false aud
unfounded pretense that she was mere Uustee.
and without right or interest.
The Judge also places defendant Rauer
upon the same plane as BuTris and hinley,
and winds up by decTeeing that Mrs. Bald
win be placed in her original position as re-
CARDS the property in question. and that
defendants pay over to her the $4,000
mortgage wrongfully placed upon her prop

STILL IN CUSTODY.
All Sorts of Futile Attempts to Escap


All Sorts of Futile Attempts to Escape
the Courts.
The Grand Jury Indictment against Ber-
nard Hughes, accusing him of perjury, was
quashed by Judge Shafter yesterday morn
ing, but Hughes was retained in custody to
await the filing of an information against
him by the District Attorney. Hughes
case is similar to that of Louis Schmidt,
who had his hearing several days ago.
They both own tenements on Dupont street,
near California, that are rented to women
for houses Of ill-fame. When the Grand
Jury questioned them about it they both
said they did not know the use to which
these houses were put, which in both cases
was proved to be a falsehood. The in
dictments accused them both of perjury.
but not of the original offense.
motion was made by their attorney to
quash the indictment, because the offense
of perjury could not exist unless the court
had jurisdiction of the subject-matter. Tho
subiect-matter in this case was the renting
of houses for the purposes Of ill-fame. That
offense is a misdemeanor within the juris-
diction of the Police Court and not the SUI
peror Court, hence not a matter that the
Grand Jury can investigate.
Judge Shafter held, however, that it was
the province of the Grand Jury to inquire
into the morals of the community, and
where it could not indict it might make
presentments TO the court. he would con-
strue this indictment as a presentment,
therefore, and hold the accused until the
District Attorney could proceed properly
against him, meanwhile he would be ad-
mitted to bail on bond of $500.
Hughes Immediately obtained writ of
habeas corpus, returnable before Judge
Hoge, but its hearing was postponed until
Thursday next

There Was No Fight.

There Was No Fight.
Judge Shafter was engaged all day yes
terday on the trial of Frank La Rue. who is
charged with the killing of Henry Mcbride
during prize-fght in the Golden Gate Ath-
letic Club on June 9th last.
Before the work of selecting jury was
commenced, the District Attorney stated
that two of the important witnesses in the
trial, Colonel A. Andrews and George l..
Fitch, were anxious to attend the Demo-
cratic Convention at San Jose, and asked
that their testimony given at the prelmin-
airy examination might be substituted in
place of their oral testimony. No objec-
tion was raised to this and the two wit
nesses were excused:
By 3 o'clock in the aftern DON the follow
ing jury had been obtained;
Perley Veasey, sylvester Moore. f: E. Rice, j.
Ecks, W. $. Cox. w. L. Greeuebaum, j. IL

The first witness called was L. G. Flana-
gan, the President of the club, who related
in substance what has already been pub
ished many times since the unfortunate
affair occurred.
CASTOR Ash, attorney for La Rue OBJ
jected to the question by the prosecution,
How long did they fight?" on the ground
that it had not been shown that there was a
fight or anything like fight.
Judge Shafter volunteered the comment
that it looked to him very much as though
there had been a fight. Two men were
spinning around the floor in a lively man.
ner, hammering each other, and one of
them was killed.
This sort of parley from the Judge raised
the ire Of the young attorney, and jumping
to his feet he called loudly to the stenog-
rapher to note his exception TO such a
speech from the bench.
Not muscle in the Judges face changed,
and the trial proceeded. Three or four
witnesses were examined before the day
closed, but nothing ofimportance came out.

Young Green was walking across the
