the legislatures have in some in

held registry to be necessary, in
terposed to afford relief" 81 l..
r. A. 6S3.
The later and better view then
seems to be that shares of stock
are personal property that certifi-
Gates are the indicia of the. own
ership of the shares; that when the
stock is issued by means of the is
suance of certificates the shares
follow the certificates, and to that
extent the certificates themselves,
since the stock cannot otherwise be
represented, for physical possession,
become personal property; that the
corporation has lost control of the
shares by the issuance of the GER
tificates except such control as is
necessary for its protection as to
/ corporate acts; that the shares may
be transferred by delivery of the
certificates properly endorsed; that
the ownership of the shares is
made apparent by the possession of
the certificates bona fide; that this
view is a necessary outgrowth of
trade relations and the attitude of
| the public toward stock certificates
and that any other view is con-
trary to public policy; that this
view is especially binding upon
those states in which legislatures
have declared shares of stock when
issued to be personal estate; that
though the legislature may possibly
have intended a different rule in
this state as to domestic corpora
tions, 1t has not seen fit to domes-
ticate foreign corporations; and
that therefore the shares of stock
of foreign corporations are exempt
from attachment except such as
may be directed against the certifi-
Gates themselves.
No order, therefore, will be is
sued under this proceeding to COM
pei the aforesaid corporations to
deliver certificates for the stock
sought to be levied upon in the
above entitled cases.

SOS.
"As between a transferee and an
attaching creditor of the transferoc.
it would seem to be immaterial
whether the legal title or only an
equitable right as passed BY tile
transferee. In either case, the at
taching creditor, not being a pur-
chaser for value. should be subor-
dinated to prior transferee."
Machen on Corporations, lis.
(190S).
st may be added, in regard to
this whole subject, that the deci-
sions and statutes of the various
states show clearly that public
policy and the legitimate demands
of trade have gradually caused the
courts and the legislatures of the
various states to establish the rule
that a sale or pledge of certificates
of stock has precedence over a
subsequent attachment levied On
that stock for the debt of the
vendor, and that the failure of the
purchaser or Pledge of the certifi-
cate to obtain registry on the cor
porate books is not fatal to his in
terest in the stock. In the great
commercial centers, where certifi-
Gates of stock pass from hand to
hand, and are pledged to banks
and financial institutions daily to
secure great sums of money, the
necessity of such a rule is i'm
perative." Cook on Corporations,
section 400.
THE decided weight of authori-
ty holds that he who purchases
for valuable consideration a GER
tificate of stock is protected in his
ownership of the stock and is not
affected by subsequent attach
ment or execution levied on such
stock for the debts of the regis
tered stakeholder, even though such
purchaser has neglected to have
his transfer registered on the cor
porate books. The law favors the
transfer of stock certificates, and
discountenances, so far as possible
all secret dangers incurred in their
purchase. BY protecting the pur-
chaser against subsequent attach
ments and executions, the law re-
moves one of the chief risks in
CURED in holding certificates and
desirability of such investments.
Cook on Corporations, section 4S7
The custom of dealing with
stocks by transferring the certiti-
Gates in so general, and the in
convenience of requiring each trans
