ON ASSESSABLE STOCKS
Il,ereStinS Decision Made by Courts Of
New York.
Cannot Escape Responsibility by Transfer 10
Irresponsible Persons Transfer May
Be DlSresarded.

The following decision in the
New York courts relative to asses
sable stocks will be of particular
local interest when such large
amount of assesssble stock is on
the market:
Transfers of Stock to Irrespon-
sible Persons to Avoid Personal
Lisbility-In an Action to Recov.
or Assessment on the Stock, the
Transfer May BE Disregarded-
But the Right to Do This May Be
Lost.
New York: Court of Appeals,
April Is, 1S99.-Action TO recover
the amount of certain assessor ents
levied by plaintiff on thirty shares
of lts capital stock. The plaintiff
is domestic corporation orgsuiz-
ed under chapter 40, laws of lS4S,
for the purpose of dealing in real
estate.
BY written contract dated
August, 1890, it was agreed by the
parties signing it that the plain
tiff corporation should be formed.
1t also provided for subscriptions
to the capital stock of the prop ,s-
ed corporation, and the defend ant
subscribed for twenty of it's as
sessable shares. The capital stock
of the proposed company was to
be Eve hundred thousand dollars
consisting Of Eve thousand shares
OF the par value of one hundred
dollars each, divided into two
hundred thousanddollars OF asses
sable and three hundred thousand
dollars OF non assessable stock
Defendant acquired more shares
of the stock subsequently, max
ing his total holding OF plaintiffs
assessable stock thirty two shares.
On March 4, 1892, he transferred
these shares to one Van Every,
who is described in the opin.
ion, for the consideration Of
three dollars. The certificates
therefor were duly surrendered to
and cancelled by plaintiff, and it
issned new certificates to Van
Every for that number of shares.
The plaintiffs secretary duly reg
istered these transfers upon its
books, and took Van Every's re-
ceipt for the shares received by
him. On July 7, 1892, the plain
tiff made further call upon is
stock of twelve and oue-half per
cent. Van Every did not pay,
and judgment by default was
obtained against him by the plain
tiff for the amount thereof on
November 1, 1898. This judg
ment was satisfied by the plaintiff
September Ii, 1894, aud in the
following October it began this
action against the defendant for
the amount of the call attempted
to be collected of Van Every and
Tor the further amount of a call of
ten per cent. subsequently made.
Thisaction wasnot com mt need until
two years and eight months after
the transfer of the defendants
shares to Van Every, and nearly
year from the date of the recov-
cry Of judgment against the latter
for the amount Of one of the calls
included in this action. Soon after
this transfer to him, Van Every
transferred the certificates to some
one in the defendants store to
whom he was introduced but did
not know, aud received FIVE dollars
therefor. He claims that he did
this in pursuance of some arrange
ment with the defendant by which
he was to procure a purchaser of

Henry Gray's henhouse in Seekonk
was entered last night and a half a
dozen fat pullets were taken. The hen
thieves were evidently aware of the fact
that Mr.. Gray's henhouse was equipped
with hen-thief proof, so they did not
make an attempt to epter by the door,
but simply removed a window in the
rear of the house. The first intimation
that Mr. Gray had that his house had
been robbed was when he came out to
feed his hens in the morning, and dis
covered foot traces to the rear of the
coop, and later saw that a window had
been removed. and upon counting up
his hens found that he was six shy Mr..

one OF the delicate duties of the lady
