the fourth person organized the cor
poration and elected six persons di-
rectors. The Chancellor found that
it was a general practice for incor-

deciding that they can so delegate
their powers. held that inasmuch as
there was no objection by the signer
present in person TO the proxy so act

Strauss faction, because notice of the
meeting was not given before the
meeting to all persons entitled TO no

It was also held that the first meet

corporation so provides. even though
the corporation had not prior to such
meeting adopted a bylaw authorizing
meetings to be held cut of tho State.

The real question decided, however,
was that the answer filed by the Ke-

the patent machine for typewriting

which the corporation was created
be treated as the real answer for the
defendant company. The chancellor
considered it better that there should
