Boston. February 27.-An important
question has just been decided by eur Su-
preme court affecting the rights Of foreign
corporations doing business In this Common
wealth. The International Trust Company
Of Boston, brought bill In equity In No
vember, 1889, setting forth that it was a
Massachusetts corporation under a special
charter, for the purpose Of receiving on de-
posit money, government securities, stocks,
bsnds and collecting and distributing prlnci
pal, interest and income OF such property,
with Its usual place Of business In this city,
and asked for an injunction against the In
tarnational Loan and Trust Company OF
Kansas City, restraining the last named COM
pany from carrying on In Boston banking
aud trust business, claiming that the name
Of the defendant corporation was so clearly
Identical with the name of the plaintiff that
1t was liable to mislead, and in fact had mis-
led the public and persons having occasion
to deal with the plaintiff. The prayer of the
bill was that the defendant be enjoined from
carrying on business In the Commonwealth
OF Massachusetts under Its present name
and for general relief. The case was heard
before Judge Holmes, who made certain
findings Of fact and ordered an injunction to
issue f0rbidding the defendant corporation
from doing business In Massachusetts under
Its present name. 1t ltappeared upon the trial
that the International Loan and Trust Com
paDy was one Of the soundest financial in
stitutions doing business In New England.
the president of the company Is Hon. George
4. Putnam Of Kansas City. and the Eastern
management Is under the direction of Hon.
Fred e. Richards of Portland. After the
decision by Judge Holmes, denying to the
company the right to do business In the
Commonwealth, the case was taken to the
Supreme court by Messrs. Nathan and Hen
ry Il. Cleaves, who are counsel for the de-
fendanJ company In New England, and was
argued by them at the November term Of
the full court, Chief Justice Field presiding
The Court has sent down decision sustain
Ing the position taken by counsel, and au.
thoriziDg the defendant company to engage
In any business In this Commonwealth au-
tborized under its charter, under the name
Of international Loan and Trust Company
nj Kansas City," The Court holds that un-
der the statute OF 1889, the defendant cor
poTatton had right TO do business in this
state under the name which it was actually
using, and that it was not an interference
with the chartered rights Of the plaintiff.
