This action is brought by the plaintiff under section 29 of Act No. 232, Laws of 1885, to recover for his personal labor against a stockholder in a manufacturing' company organ zed under the law of 1875 (How. Stat. § 4127, et seqand located at Newaygo, in this State, and known as-the “Newaygo Company.”

Said company was organized on the seventh day of July, 1880. The articles of association, which were duly acknowledged, were filed in the office of the Secretary of State, and a duplicate of the same, unacknowledged, was also filed in the office of the clerk of Newaygo county.

In these articles the defendant’s name appears as one of' eight stockholders, who organized the company, and also as a subscriber for 130 shares of the company’s stock; the capital stock of the corporation being $100,000, and divided into shares of $25 each. The defendant contends, however, that he-never was in fact a stockholder.

The plaintiff, on the nineteenth day of September, 1887, obtained a judgment against the Newaygo Company for $788.55 damages and $21.60 costs. Execution on this judgment was issued, and returned unsatisfied, before this suit, was commenced. The labor for which the plaintiff claims was rendered for the company between May, 1881, and November of that year, and from February, 1883, to October, 1884.

The trial was had in the Kent circuit before Judge Grove, without a jury. The judge made a finding of facts, and also-found, as questions of law:

“1. That the statute gives no right to bring suit against-the stockholders of the Newaygo Company jointly.

“ 2. That Fulkerson was not a stockholder of the NewaygoCompany at the time when its indebtedness to the plaintiff' arose, or at any time thereafter.”

The findings of law were excepted to by the plaintiff’s counsel. No exceptions, however, were taken to the judge’s finding of the facts.

By reason of the plaintiff’s discontinuance of his suit against all the persons sued except the defendant, the first finding of law becomes of no importance.

The correctness of the second finding of law depends alto.gether upon the facts found from the evidence by the court, and, no exception having been taken to such findings, they ■must be held correct; and from them we are unable to discover how any other judgment could have been given than the one entered by the learned circuit judge, and it must therefore be affirmed.

The course pursued in the case by the plaintiff upon the trial, and the action adopted by him since, renders a discus•sion of the many interesting questions raised by counsel in •their briefs entirely unnecessary, and no opinion is given ■thereon.
