Melvin r. Ferguson. The respondent was
| treasurer of Seven Star Grange of Troy,
and refused to deliver up to the corpora
| ton the books and funds of the corporation,
claiming that the Grange had voted that
all money in the treasury beyond.what was
necessary for grange expenses should be
devoted to the payment of outstanding
debts. The respondent also denied that the
grange was legally Incorporated. The bill
was brought to compel the treasurer to
give up the property. The case went to
the Law Court on report. The rescript by
Judge Emery is as follows.
l. One who deals with corporation as
| existing in fact is eStOpped to deny as
gally organized.
. One who accepts and exercises the
| Office of treasurer of an association as
suming to be a legal corporation, is es-
topped to deny the capacity of the assOcia-
| ton to sue him as a corporation for the re-
covery of property entrusted to him as
such treasurer.
g. The fact that an association or cor
poratiou has voted to apply its property to
the payment of its debts does not authorize
| its outgoing treasurer to retain its property
| for that purpose.
Bill sustained with costs.
