Opinion:
Cooley, Cii. J:
The only question in this case is, whether a corporation defendant may have an inquest taken against it under circuit court rule 99, where no affidavit of merits has been filed. We have no doubt whatever that it may, and do not deem it necessary to discuss the point.
The judgment will be affirmed, with costs.
