Irwin and others v. Oregon Ry. & Nav. Co. and others.
(Circuit Court, S. D. New York.
October 15, 1886.)
Co h pokation — Action—Parties.
On petition for rehearing by Mr. H. Villard.
See 27 Fed. Rep. 625.
Butler, Stillman é Hubbard, for plaintiff.
Holmes é Adams, for defendant.

Opinion:
Wallace, J.
I have carefully examined the brief and authorities submitted by the counsel for Mr. Villard on the petition for a rehearing, but am unable to see liow he, as a promoter and abettor of the acts which have worked an equitable wrong to the complainants, can escape responsibility to the same extent with the corporation he rep resented. The petition for a rehearing has been considered on the merits; that is, as though the cause were here upon' a rehearing.
An order is directed denying the prayer of the petition.
