The accident happened about o'clock,

owing TO slight defects which had been

RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS
Court Renders Two Important Deci-
sions Respecting the Examina-
tion of Books of Corporations.

TRENTON, n. j., Feb. 24.-The supreme
court today rendered an important decision
respecting the rights of stockholders to ex-
anime books Of corporations organized un-
der the laws of this state.
The case decided was that of O'Hara
against the National Biscuit company.
O'Hara as a stockholder OF the company
made application to the registered agent
in this state for the purpose of examining
the list Of stockholders to ascertain
whether stock was owned by a certain per-
son in Ohio, against whom he had a claim.
The right to examine the books was de-
MED and O'Hara sued out a writ of man
damus, relying upon the thirty third sec
tion Of the general corporation act which
provides that the books shall be open to
inspection during business hours to every
stockholder.
Todays opinion holds that the provision
in the thirty-thiTd section is limited by
the title OF the act OF 1925 and that a man
damus can only be obtained at the discre-
ton Of the court where the relator shows
that the rights he seeks to enforce are
germane to his status as a stockholder.
In consequence OF these views the court
denied the application.
