—The complaint avers that on the sixth day of April, 1885, the board of directors of the defendant passed an order whereby they levied an assessment, No. 10, of two dollars a share on the capital stock of said corporation, payable, etc.; that the order contained a notice that “ any stock upon which this [said] *25assessment shall remain unpaid on the eleventh day of May, 1885, will be delinquent, and advertised for sale at public auction, [and] unless payment be made before, will be sold on Friday, the twenty-ninth day of May, 1885, to pay said delinquent assessment, together with the cost of advertising and the expenses of sale”; that on the twelfth day of May, 1885, a delinquent list or notice was published by defendant in the Daily Examiner, a daily newspaper, etc., a copy whereof is annexed to the complaint; that, unless restrained, the defendant will, at the time and place mentioned in the notice, sell the one hundred shares alleged to belong to the plaintiff.

So far as appears from the complaint, the order levying the assessment and the publication comply with the provisions of the Civil Code.

In addition, however, to the prayer for a decree enjoining the sale, the plaintiff prays “that a receiver be appointed to take charge of and wind up the affairs of the said corporation defendant.”

This last decree seems to be sought upon the averments that the defendant’s secretary, on a certain day, refused to show plaintiff “ the vouchers and bills paid or payable, so that he might learn and know the financial condition of defendant”; that the secretary, on a certain day, testified in an action between these parties that the corporation had no reputation or good-will of any value, “ but that it was a worthless concern as it stands”; and that, according to plaintiff’s information and belief, the defendant is not making gain, but is running behindhand, and will continue to do so, “ the way it is now managed,” owing to the low price of fuse, etc. The further allegation that the real object of the defendant and its directors is to get the plaintiff’s stock for the assessment is hardly a cause of complaint, if the concern is worthless. If in this state a corporation may be dissolved at the suit of a stockholder, the court below was justified in refusing such decree upon the facts alleged in the present com*26plaint. (Civ. Code, sec. 377; Taylor on Private Corporations, 610, 611.)

The demurrer was properly sustained.

Judgment-and order affirmed.
