D.eisio. ON s,oeL Liability.

CHICAGO, Feb. lin the superior
court toIsy Judge Horton decided the
Pacific railroad ease, awarding the vie
tory to the stockholders. The Pacific
railway was the Los Angeles street car
line In which 4. b. Holmes, former
general superintendent Of the Cbioago
CITY Railway company, was largely IN.
tofes ed.',
The matter was recently revived
In n bill brought by the creditors VI the
uefunct company 10 force the stock
linbiliy VI stockholders, including
sixty prominent Chicago business
men. IL IL on this bill that Judge
Horton passed the holding that stock
liability cannot properly be enforced.
AZ 10 the question OF tho liability OF
the defendants As stockholders tho
court said II was tho undeTsta nding
between the defendAntsAud the Pacific
company that the conveyance Of all
the property OF the California company
which they had bought was 10 be nc.
oepled A. payment In full OF the stock
VI the Pacific company. The Pacific
company could not therefore recover
from the defendants on any stock
liability.
The creditors could not recover on
the ground OF contract liability when
tho CORPORATION Itself could not and tho
principle upon which tho creditors
must recover, II ut all, was that there
had been a misrepresentation OF fact
and fraud oomnittsd. rhs burden OF
proof Of fraud, tho court said, 10 upon
the complainants. Upon full consider
ation OF all the testimony in the case,
II does not appear TO be established
thereby that there was such fraud,
either actual or presumed, by or on
behalf Of the defendant stockholders,
NJ to make them individually liable for
the debts OF the Pacific company. IL
follows that tho bill ana intervening
petitions Of the oomplainants must DO
dismissed for want OF equity NJ against
the stockholders for stock liability.
The court held the claims Of the
oomplSinants good Ms against the COM
pany. Tine eomplalnanIs will takS an
