Selman to issue stock in the same amount and value as that held by him in the Preston Motor Car Company, l. E. Boyette filed a petition in tEe chancery division of the circuit court esterday. It is further asked that the officers and directors. if they refuse to issue him S1S,OO0 worth of stock in the Preston Motors Corporation just as he held in the Preston Motor Car Company, be required to pay him an amount ot money equal to the par value of such stock held by him in the Preston Motor Car Company.
 The complainant alleges that the assets of the Preston Motor Car Company were unlawfully transferred to the Preston Motors Corporation without any consid- eration whatsoever, and that the Preston Motor Car Company has ceased to carry out the objects and purposes for which it was incorporated.
 This it is alleged was done in disregarl to and in violation of the rights of stock holders in the old rganization. which the petition states is tantamount in effect to merger of the old corporation into the new organization.
