THE JUDGES CERTIFICATE.

1t Does Not Settle the Question of the
Peoples Railway Co.'s Right to Enter
Wilmington.
The assertion recently made that be-
cause Judge Spruance approved the
articles of incorporation of the Peoples
Railway Co., he thereby passed upon
the question of its right to enter Will
mington is incorrect.
Tho act providing a General Corpora
ton Law, passed in 1899, directs that
when articles of association for the in
corporation of a railway company shall
be presented to one OF the judges of the
Superior Court, he shall examine the
same, and if found to conform to the
requirements of said act, he shall en-
dorse his certificate thereon accord.
ingly. The inquiry and certificate of
the judge arc limited to the question
whether the articles of association pre-
sented to him conform to the require
ments of said act, and no inference
should be drawn from such certificate
as to his opinion in regard to the right
of the new company to construct OF
operate q railway in the city of Will
mipaton or elsewhere, where some other
company claims the exclusive privilege.
