BLAKE VS.. M'CLUNG.
DECISION AGAINST STATE PREFER
ENCE IN DISTRIBUTING ASSETS.
HULL COAL And COKE CO., OF VA.
This Organization n Party to the
suit-Opinion Against Both Its Con-
Brewer Dissent.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December l2.-
Justice Harlan to-day delivered the opln-
ion Of the United States Supreme Court
in the case OF c. G.. Blake and others VS.
Calvin NJ. McClung, appealed from r.
Supreme Court OF the State OF Tennessee.
The case involves the validity Of the Ten
nessee State law Of 1877. giving resident
creditors OF a foreign corporation doing
business in the State a preference In the
distribution OF assets. In case of failure,
over creditors OF such a corporation who
reside outside the limits of the state.
The case grew out Of complications
arising in the settlement of the affairs
of the Embreville Freehold Land and
Iron Company of Great Britain, doing
business in Tennessee. This corporation
became insolvent, and the Tennessee au-
thorities, In the distribution OF the as
sets, Disseminated in favor Of the Ten
nessee creditors, In connection with the
terms of the law, TO the disadvantage OF
those residing outside the State, including
Blake. and others acting with him, who
were residents of Ohio This determine
ton of the matter was attacked upon the
ground that the law Is repugnant to the
second section Of Article ". OF the Con
stitution Of the United States, declaring
that "the citizens of each State shall be
entitled 10 all the privileges and immunl-
ties of citizens in the several States
In his opinion Justice Harlan said that
the State statute, while not prohibiting
business between the Embreville Com
pany, while engaged In business In Ten
nessee, and the citizens of other States
operated as a restriction upon this busi-
ness; that such discrimination against
the citizens Of other States was unconsu-
tutional, 'in that, by legislation Of that
kind, privileges connected with trade and
commerce are accorded by Tennessee TO
it's own citizens that are denied by 1t 20
the citizens of other States" Hence the
conclusion was reached that creditors OF
other States stand on the same plane as
creditors resident in Tennessee, in the
adjudicat ton OF the company's affairs.
HULL COAL AND COKE COMPANY.
In the case of the Hull Coal and Coke
Company, Of Virginia, also creditor OF
the defunct company, the court held that
the second section Of the fourth article
Of the Constitution did not apply to the
corporations as it did TO individuals-that
corporations were not citizens OF States
I'm the sense that they shall be entitled
TO all the privileges and immunities Of
citizens In the several States 1t was also
held that this company had no claim UNI
der the provisions Of the fourteenth
amendment, as there did not appear to
have been a lack OF due process of law.
The Chief Justice and Justice Brewer
dissented from the opinion, laying stress
upon the fact that the constitutional pro-
vision involved referred % citizens, ana
not to residents in specific terms.
