The supreme court yesterday handed
down two opinions. One, in the case
of Sidney Stevens ct al, appellants, VS..
the South ogden Land, Building and
Improvement company ct al, was writ
ten by Chief Justice Zane and con-
CURED in by Justices Bartch and
Miner, and reversed the judgment Of
the lower court and remanded the
case
The plaintiffs sought for the appoint
ment of a receiver for the South ogden
Land, Building and Improvement COM
pany, the South ogden Clay and Manu-
featuring company, the South Ogden
Mercantile company and the South
Ogden Water company, and compen-
sation for the loss caused by the al
legged mismanagement and fraud of
the defendants, William j. Stephens,
Solomon G. Stephens, David Kay, John
j. HILL Paul Beus and j. o. Stevens,
in conducting the business, disposing
of the property and using the credit
of the corporations.
The defendants demurred to the
complaint because it was multifarious,
in that district and Independent mat
tiers were blended. and that there was
a misjoinder of parties as co-defend-
ants.
The district court sustained the de-
murrer, and the plaintiffs having re-
fused to amend, the court entered
judgment dismissing the action, from
which the plaintiffs took this appeal
The supreme court held that this
ruling was erroneous, and reversed it.

Whitley VS.. Deseret National tank

The other opinion was in the case of
T. o. VALLEY VS.. the Deseret National
bank. appellant, written by Justice
Miner and cOncurred in by Chief JUS
tice Zane and Justice Bartch. The
judgment of the district court is set
aside and reversed with costs and a
new trial granted.
The plaintiff gave his note for $1,000
to the defendant, and 70 secure the
Beck FOR $4,000. The defendants note
for 81 200 was not paid at maturity and
the defendant sold the Beck notes to
James T. Little, an officer of the bank.

ment of Valleys note.
1t appeared that afterwards Little
offered to let the plaintiff have the
Beck notes on payment of the 1000.
were worth then. Afterwards John
Beck's affairs SO improved that the
notes became worth their face value.
The plaintiff contended that the sale
of the Beck notes to an officer of the
bank was illegal, but the supreme
court discovered no finding that Little
was an officer of the bank, or in any
way connected with it at the time, and
therefore refrained from passing upon
the questions involved in that subject,
for the reason that the judgment must
find it's support in the actual state of
facts ascertained and reported by the
judge or fail. No aid can be derived
from facts not embodied in the find
ings. Other phases of the cases are
then discussed in the opinion, partic-
ularly where it appeared that the
plaintiff had paid interest on his note
to a date later than when the sale Of
the Beck notes was made.
