107 Cal. 446 | Cal. | 1895
This action is against the defendant, Southern California Motor Road Company, a corporation, on a promissory note of the company, executed March 4,1890, and against the other defendants as stockholders, for their respective proportions of the indebtedness on said note, under section 322 of the Civil Code. A several judgment was given against the defendant Merrill, the appellant, for three hundred and thirty-six dollars and thirty-five cents, as his portion of said indebtedness, according to the amount of stock he held in the corporation.
Appellant claims that respondent cannot have the benefit of the statute of this state, imposing liability on stockholders for the corporation’s debts, because he is a stockholder himself. This contention is based upon the authority of Bailey v. Bancker, 3 Hill, 188, 38 Am.
We see nothing in the other questions suggested by appellants’ brief demanding discussion.
The order and judgment are affirmed.
Van Fleet, J., and McFarland, J., concurred.
