Rights Of Directors.

An important decision reversing the decision
OF Chancellor Carroll In the case of W. d.
Worthen 4 Co.. vs.. Joseph Griffith as receiver
Of the F. P. Gray Dry Goods Company. was
handed down by the Supreme Court of Arkansas
last week.
When the dry goods company failed 1t made
on assignment, preferring Worthen & Co.. for
$1,000, Wolf Bros for 81 100 and the Gazette
Printing Company for $780,
The assignment was attached by the mercan-
tile creditors and the Chancery Court held 1t to
be fraudulent on the ground that Gray the
president Of the company had taken out of the
assets $780, with view OF paying preferred
debts by assigning them. and further that as
two of the directors of the company were in.
dorsers on the paper held by worthen 4 Co.,
they could not prefer that company, and 80 pro-
tect themselves as indOrscrs.
The matter was taken to the Supreme Court,
which held that there was not sufficient violence
of fraud, and that the company had perfect
right to prefer the debts on which its directors
stood as indorsers.
