Justice Andrews OF the Supreme Court yester-
day similar suit was brought against the
members OF the same firm in 1888 for forming
the Sugar Refneries Compa which was dis
solved by the courts and the defendants set
up In their answer that this com pany had been
held to be Illegal and Hentz could have no
recovery for forming an illegal company: SO
that action has been loft in allegiance. In the
