court DECLINES TO
COMPEL ACCOUNTING
Justice Mccoy Dismisses Suit of o. o.
Sutton Against Risk and
Realty Companies.

Justice Mccoy yesterday in the Dis
trict Supreme Court dismissed the bill
of o. o. Sutton against The First Ma
tional Fire Insurance Company and
the Southern Realty Corporation to
compel an accounting for the transfer
OF the Southern Building from the fire
risk company to the realty corpora
ton. He stated that Mr.. Sutton has
made no attempt to examine the book
of either company and therefore could
not proceed with suit for the &C
counting.
The courts ruling was in accord
with a decision of the United States
Supreme Court which stipulates that
before suit of this kind can be pros
ecuted. the plaintiff must have made
an attempt to go over the books of
the defendants.
Mr.. Sutton's case against the indi-
vidual directors of the Southern Realty
Corporation was not touched upon in
the hearing yesterday, these directors
having filed an answer to his suit,
while the companies filed a demurrer
which was ruled upon by the court in
the manner just stated.
Leave was granted Mr.. Sutton, how
ever. to amend his bill against the
companies. the said amendment to be
made within ten days.
Attorney Easby-Smith, for the COM
panies, informed the attorneys for the
plaintiff that they had better come to
the corporations offices and look over
the books so as to avoid any action
by that corporation against the plain
tiff on account of the prosecution OF
his case.
