Der company from dispOsing OF the
property of the company, and also ask
ing that receiver be appointed to take

the company's stock, the par value of
which is Sl00 share: that Dennis
Ryan, the president of the company, has
disposed of large amount of the prop
erty belonging to the company, and con-
verted the money received therefrOm to
his own private use. without the knowl-
edge or consent of complainant, and
that he had reason to believe that Den

of all his interest in the company.
He further alleged that he had judg-
ment of S43,52l against Dennis Ryan.

The complainant was discharged from
the position of treasurer and general
manager of the company, but he alleges
that the action was illegal, inasmuch as
no notice was given of the nesting of
the directors at which he was removed.
