AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Federal Judge Foster Hands Down Rul-
Ing on the Double Liability Clause.
Topeka, Kan. May Am opinion OF
considerable Importance to creditors
and stockholders Of defunct corpora
tions was handed down by Judge Eos
ter, in the United States circuit court.
The opinion was in case brought by
the New York Life Insurance Co.
against eight of the stockholders OF
the Wyandotte Loan & Trust Co., an
insolvent corporation. The suit in
volved a judgment OF S1s,24o, and
the complainant held that each OF
the eight stockholders was liable for a
certain amount Of unpaid subscriptions,
and also liable under the statutes OF
Kansas for double the amount sub
scribed. The defendants filed de-
murrers in the case, holding that the
cause of action was not one which
could be maintained jointly and
unltedly against all the defendants IN
the suit, but If maintained at all was a
separate case Of action against each
and every one of the defendants.
Judge Foster overruled the demurrers,
and in his opinion said.
There is n severable liability imposed on
each stakeholder, and doubtless the creditor
could proceed at law against any single stock
holder, but 1t does not follow that this remedy
is necessarily exclusive can see no good
purpose to be served where q stakeholder Is in
debted for subscriptions to stock in bank
rupt corporation, as well as for his double la
bility under the statute, to put the creditor to
double proceeding to reach the funds and
assets to which he is entitled in payment Of his
