Description
Mr. J. Hubley Ashton moved to dismiss, for want of jurisdiction, a writ of error in this suit, one from the Supreme Court of New York; the case being this:The Revised Statutes of New York declare1 that: 'Whenever any incorporated company shall have remained insolvent for one whole year, or for one year shall have refused or neglected to redeem its notes or other evidences of debt, or shall for one year have suspended the ordinary business of such incorporation, such company shall be deemed and adjudged to have surrendered the rights, privileges, and franchises granted by any act of incorporation, and shall be adjudged to be dissolved.' The New York Code of Procedure (tit. xiii, chap. 11, § 430), authorizes the attorney-general, in the name of the people, to bring an action for the purpose of vacating the charter of a corporation, (1) whenever it shall have forfeited its franchises by non-user; (2) whenever it shall have done or omitted any act amounting to a surrender of such franchises.
