Towne v. Lancaster Starch Co.

Opinion of the Court

Doe, C. J.

By agreement of parties or further trial, there should be a distinct determination of the question whether this is a creditors’ bill for the enforcement of the personal liability of stockholders, or a stockholders’ bill prosecuted in the name of creditors.

Stanley, Allen, and Carpenter, JJ., did not sit: the others concurred.

On a further hearing of the case at the trial term it was found to he a creditors’ suit, and it was subsequently settled by the parties.
