NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The Bank Account Was Beautiful if the
Woman Was Not.

Judge Blank Of a certain county in
the great and growing state of Michi-
gan, says an exchange, after 10 years
of widowhood, had taken to himself
wife, and the lady was so meagrely
possessed of personal beauty. that the
judges friends of the first degree took
it upon themselves to criticise him for
marrying so homely woman.
I don't see how he ever could have
done 1t, said one friend to the judge
old maid sister.
That's what everybody seems to
think" admitted Miss B.
Then what in the name of goodness
did he ever do it for?''
Oh! well. there were mitigating cir
cumstances," said the sister, in a ju-
dicial tone.
Mitigating circumstances? 1 don't
know what you mean
We'll. she was worth $500 900.
Wouldn't you say that was very mitf-
gating?"

AGAINST TRUSTS.
Judge TuIsY's Decision said to be of Great
Importance

Importance.
A decision which experienced LAWYERS
say is Of far-reaching Importance in
fixing the rights of minority stockhol-
ders in their relations with corporation
officials, has been handed down at Chi
cago by Judge Tulay Of the circuit
court in dissolving the Injunction is
sued in January restraining Lewis b.
Perrin, stakeholder of the Roger
Ballast Car Company from bringing
mandamus proceedings against the
company to compel the directors to
allow him to examine the corporation
records
Sks suit, which is unprecedented in
the records of American jurisprudence.
was begun by the car company on Jan,
49, when an eX parte injunction was is
sued by Judge Tuthill. The injunction
was sought on the assertion that Per
rim would reveal the price paid by the
company for manufacturing its patent
ed cars and the amount at which they
were sold to the railroad companies.
which is regarded by the company as a
trade secret, which if divulged to the
purchasers would ruin the business of
the company.
III bis decision, Judge Tuley held that
under the law single stakeholder has
the right to examine the books and rec
ords Of the corporation of which he IL
a shareholder, and that +he corpora
ton officials have no right in a court
of equity to attempt to restrain such
examination by injunction. In conclus-
ion, Judge Tuley said.
In these days of gigantic combina-
tons corporations in the shape OF
trusts for the purpose of secretly carry
ing on and exercising franchises
granted by state governments-and
this in defiance of prohibitory statutes
lit is of the utmost Importance thai
this right of a stakeholder to exam
Inc the workings and methods of such
combinations be given a liberal con
struction, as, if not his only, it is the
greatest safeguard which the law pro.
vides against mi9management OF
treachery on the part Of those in con-
troll.
THE underlying claim Of equity in
this bill is the right Of directors to con.
ceal from stockholders the information
as to the manner in which they are
using the property, the remedy sought
IN injunction being to prevent hin,
from entering q legal right to obtain
that Information. The court will not
enjoin in a feared or threatened law
suit The contention Of the complain.
ant is not based on good law or good
equity. The injunction must be dis
