This case excited much interest al inc re.
cent term of our Court. and It's result much
sympathy for Mr.. Bonct. 1t seems That Mr.
Benct WAS the attorney o? SuS6ng & Co ior
several years before the organization OF inc
organ iZatun of Construction Company. Sn-
song II Co, who took Il contr,ling interest III
said Construction Company, owed ar. Bcnel
- U00 for raSt services. Instead OF paying
him in money they were TO give MIN flity
shares in said CONSTRUCTION Company as pay
ment in full OF his fee. The first three inst tai
mentS. amounting to sFIO, were Gilu ny Su
song & 90. When the fourth instalmcnt was
called for, the Construction Company having
become embarrassed financially, Sus"nG d
Co failed TO pay, and after the Company went
into the hands Of the Receivers they sued Mr..
Benet for the balance o! the %j,"1V, VIZ: S3,oW.
at meetings OF the Construction Company,
voted the ilfty shares OF stGck, ana was elect
ell a Director The jury found for the plain
tiff S'.GgJ
Mr.. Benet testified that he had never seen
the subscription list; had never authoriZcd
any one to subscribe for him had never paid
Il cent and never expected to; but That the NJ
ty shares were given To him by SuSonG & Co.
in payment OF Il fee and that he never, for y
moment. expected 10 be made liable. lnat
SuSong Il Co. were to convey the stock, ana 80
fur as he was concerned the $1,000 was pald IN
full.
The subscription list was not produced In
Court, but plaintiff relied upon the fact that
MIR Bcnet voted the stock, and that this made
him a technical Stockholdcr.
1t seems TO have been Il case OF technical
liability based upon secondary proof, ana II
is canccdcd that Mr.. Bcnet was under no NOR
al Obligation To Fay cent.
1t is Il hard case. To lose the :3,0b@ due, orig.
inally as q ice and now To lose S:'G93 mere, Is
very much like heads l win and tails you
lose. The case will so to the supreme Court.
