Head Matter:
The President and Trustees of the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Steam Boat Company v. Nathaniel Andrews and Israel Reeves.
A corporation created by a law of this state, and for purposes to be carried on within its jurisdiction, although it has no property within the state, is not a non-resident, within the meaning of the statute respecting security for costs.
White, for the defendants,
moved for security for costs, .stating that the corporation has no property within the state, and that no one of the officers resides here.

Opinion:
By the Court
:—The residence, not the property, of the plaintiff is the question—we cannot say that a corporation created by a law of this state and for purposes to be carried .on and executed within its jurisdiction, is a non-resident within the meaning of the statute respecting security for costs.
Motion overruled.
