JUDGMENT DEFAULT
TO STAND, COURT SAYS
Foreclosure Motion of Blue
Points Company Is Denied.

Justice Macrate, in Brooklyn Supreme
Court. yesterday denied the motion of
the Blue Points Company to open de-
fault on a mortgage foreclosure follow
ing judgment Of s73.236. obtained last
month by the North Atlantic Oyster
Farms Company. Inc.
The application for the opening OF the
default was made by the minority stock
holders, who alleged that the majority
stockholders, who also are the officers
OF the North Atlantic Oyster Farms
Company. had engineered the issuance
of the mortgage and the foreclosure as
result of a conspiracy to freeze out"
the minority interests OF the Blue Points
Company.
Justice Macrate ruled that the judg-
ment was not defended when 1t came UP
for argument, and there was no queution
about the validity OF the mortgage No
reason hadk been shown, ne said,l why
the default hould not stand.
