    search_document: The first respects the interest in which the litigation is
    being prosecuted, and the second is the failure of the plaintiff to either
    plead or prove a cause of action on his behalf as a stockholder. If this
    litigation had been honestly instituted by a stockholder for the protection
    of his and other stockholders ’ rights, and was not so evidently a suit
    instigated by a rival company for its own interests, we should strive to be
    astute to discover some remedy for a very evident wrong. The far reaching
    and flexible nature of equitable powers might, with proper proof and under
    other circumstances, enable us to do justice as between the stockholders of
    the Grey Creek Company and Chappell, its officer and director. But we have
    no inclination to struggle for this result, because it is a well settled
    principle that whenever it is made to appear that the suit was. not begun in
    good faith by a shareholder for the protection of his rights, but was in
    reality originated and prosecuted by another corporation for its own
    benefit, the court will consider what led the plaintiff to institute his
    suit, and, finding some other reason than a desire to protect stockholders ’
    rights, will refuse to entertain the bill. Forrest v. Manchester, etc., R '
    way Co., 4 De G., F. & J. 19 ( 65 Eng. Chan., 125 ) ; Filder v. London,
    etc., R ' way Co., 1 H. & M. 489 ; Belmont v. Erie R ' way Co. et al., 52
    Barb. 637 ; Waterbury v. The Merchants ’ Union Express Co., 50 Barb. 157 ;
    Camblos v. The P. & R. R. R. Co., 4 Brewster, 563. Naturally, the cases
    respecting this proposition are limited, since the question could not often
    arise. It seldom happens that shareholders, otherwise than for the
    protection of their own interests, come into courts of equity to seek
    redress for wrongs done the corporation of which they are * 331members. But
    wherever it is apparent that this has been done, the courts have never
    hesitated to send the plaintiff out of court and refuse him relief.

    search_document: It must be conceded that defendant ’ s property within the
    State is negligible. * 766The salaries of Titus and the other salesman are
    paid by the defendant ’ s home office. Titus and his associate salesman are
    employed on a salary basis and devote all their time to the business of the
    defendant. Titus employs a young woman stenographer and pays her out of the
    aforementioned “ H. B. Titus, Special ” account. Defendant has no other
    employees in New York. Titus and his associate are constantly and
    systematically engaged within the State of New York in soliciting business
    for the defendant. Their activities result in the continuous shipment by the
    defendant of its product into and outside of the State of New York. It was
    testified by Titus that the shipments into this State attain a monthly
    average of approximately $ 14, 000. Shipments are made in every case from
    factories without the State “ f. o. b. plant. ” Orders received by Titus
    from new customers are transmitted to the home office in Cleveland and are
    there accepted or rejected, presumably after due investigation of the
    customer ’ s credit standing. In the case of orders received from approved
    accounts, that is to say, from customers who have previously done business
    with the defendant and whose credit standing has been found satisfactory by
    the defendant ’ s home office, and who have thus established a permanent
    relationship with defendant ’ s New York office, Titus promptly transmits
    the order to the factory, by means of a teletype machine which the defendant
    caused to be installed in the 50 Church street office for the use of Titus.
    This practice is always followed in the case of a rush order from an
    approved account if the amount of the order is not unusually large ; and the
    testimony affords some reason to suppose that it is followed in the case of
    every normal - sized order from such an account. As a general rule, prices
    are established by the Cleveland office, but Titus was sometimes authorized
    to quote varying prices in order to meet competition. Orders received on the
    basis of prices thus quoted by Titus required the approval of the home
    office, but were, as a matter of fact, in no instance rejected. Defendant ’
    s customers in New York make payment directly to the Cleveland office, but
    when instructed to do so, Titus undertakes the collection of delinquent
    accounts.

    search_document: The evil is still just as great as it was formerly, if a
    party can have only legal or equitable relief in the same action. In such
    case, if he commences his action asking for equitable relief, as for
    instance a specific performance, and it turns out that he is not entitled to
    it, but only to legal relief, by way of damages, he might perhaps, if such
    strictness is to govern, be put to a new action to obtain redress. This
    certainly ought not to be ; and such a strictness is hostile to the whole
    spirit of the change that has been made. In trying such a cause at the
    circuit, I should most certainly allow whatever amendment in the pleadings
    was necesssary to give the party redress. If the plaintiff had asked for
    equitable relief, and it turned out that he was entitled to legal relief
    only, I should permit him to take it in that form. And if he had asked for
    legal relief only, Avhen he was entitled to both legal and equitable relief,
    I should allow the proper amendment to administer complete justice in the
    case. The power to amend, authorized by the Code, is ample for such purpose.
    Noav the last case of amendment I have mentioned as permissible at the
    circuit, is precisely what is claimed in this case, with this difference
    only, that it is claimed to be made here, before issue joined, and when, of
    course, the defendant has abundant time and opportunity to prepare to meet
    the claim at the circuit. I see no objection in this case to uniting claims
    for both legal and equitable relief in the same action. Both depend on the
    same transaction and both are necessary to indemnify the plaintiff for past,
    and to protect him against future injury. I think the proper course, under
    our present system of practice, is to give the party whatever relief is
    applicable to the facts put * 271in issue in the pleadings and established
    on the trial, whether such relief be legal or equitable, or both. And I see
    no reason against uniting in one action claims for both legal and eqiutable
    relief, when they are not inconsistent with each other ( Linden agt.
    Hepburn, 5 How. Pr. R. 188 ).

    search_document: The major points presented by appellants are, first, that
    the city of Newark took but an easement in the property, second, that if the
    city did acquire a fee, it was a conditional, base or determinable fee, and,
    finally, that in either event the use for which the property was condemned
    has been abandoned and, in consequence, the property has reverted to the
    former owner. The city responds that, by virtue of the condemnation
    proceedings, it acquired an estate in fee - simple absolute, the title to
    which is not subject to any right of reversion, and, furthermore, that even
    though the city be found to possess only a qualified fee, it may
    nevertheless devote the land to the street use. * Page 327 It may be said of
    a municipality, as it was said of a railroad corporation in Currie v. New
    York Transit Company and National Docks Railway Co., 66 N. J. Eq. 313, that
    the quantity of interest in land obtained by it under the power of eminent
    domain is that which the statute conferring the power authorizes it to
    acquire and that the legislature may authorize the taking of a fee or any
    less estate in its discretion. The earlier cases were reviewed by our Chief
    Justice in the opinion written by him for this court in the Currie case and
    need not be here adverted to in the continued recognition of the enunciated
    principle. The next question is : What quantity of interest did the statute
    which conferred the power of eminent domain authorize the city to acquire?
    The statute is to be read, not under the necessity of finding fixed
    phraseology, but to ascertain its intent, because this intent, clearly
    found, will prevail. No precise words are necessary in a statute to
    authorize the condemnation of a fee. As was said by Mr. Justice Holmes, then
    a justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, in City of Newton
    v. Perry, 163 Mass. 319 ; 39 N. E. Rep. 1032, " there are no sacramental
    words which must be used in a statutory power to take and hold lands in
    order to give a right to take the lands in fee. " See, also, Driscoll v.
    City of New Haven ( Conn. ), 52 Atl.

    search_document: . for one year ” ; this was eventually codified as part of
    G. L. c. 210, § 3, which also specified other grounds for dispensing with
    parental consent, such as current imprisonment of the parent for more than
    three years. Chapter 593, § 1, of the Acts of 1953, codified as G. L. c.
    210, § 3A, first provided for an independent proceeding, prior to adoption
    proceedings proper, at which it could be determined whether parental consent
    was to be necessary for the adoption. Its purpose was to facilitate and
    expedite the process of adoption of children being held in temporary foster
    care. See the Department of Public Welfare recommendations, 1953 House Doc.
    No. 118, accompanying their draft bill,. 1953 House Doc. No. 124. The
    proceeding could be brought by the Department of Public Welfare or any
    appropriate child care agency having custody of the child. But the act was
    silent as to the standards to be applied in deciding when consent could be
    dispensed with, and in Consent to Adoption of a Minor, 345 Mass. 706 ( 1963
    ), this court held that, in the absence of any other indication in the
    statute, the conditions set out in § 3 for direct adoptions were still to be
    met ; specifically, the court held that a finding of parental “
    unsuitability, ” without a finding of * 638wilful desertion or neglect for a
    year, was not an adequate basis for a decree dispensing with the parental
    consent. The department had evidently not intended the § 3 conditions to be
    read into the independent § 3A proceeding. Therefore the department
    immediately sponsored St. 1964, c. 425, which provided that consent could be
    dispensed with “ if the court finds that the best interests of the child
    will be served by placement for adoption ” ; the court was not to be
    restricted by the § 3 conditions, but was to give “ due regard to the
    ability, capacity and fitness of the child ’ s parents. . . and to the plans
    proposed by the department or other agency initiating such petition. ” This
    statute thus broadened the factors the court could consider in deciding
    whether to proceed over the parent ’ s objections ; unsuitability besides
    desertion or neglect was now clearly an available ground.

  | <code>search_document: Mr. Justice Mercur delivered the opinion of the court, November 20th 1882. Both parties claim title to this land under sheriff ’ s sale as the property of James Strouss. The defendant purchased at a sale made in December 1815, the plaintiff at one made in March 1880. The plaintiff seeks to impeach the validity of the first sale * 411on the ground that it was made in fraud of the creditors of Strouss. The law presumes that a public judicial sale is made in good faith. This presumption stands, unless overthrown by clear and satisfactory evidence of fraud or unfair means. The contention was one of fact. Much evidence Avas given bearing on the question, and some of it conflicting. The learned judge submitted the case to the jury in a clear and correct charge. He instructed them that if the sheriff ’ s sale was made with the intention of hindering, delaying or defeating creditors, and the purchaser had knowledge of such, it was null and void, although the full value of the ...</code> | <code>search_query: What constitutes fraud in a sheriff’s sale and how does it affect property titles?</code>                | <code>search_query: What are the requirements for filing a patent application in the United States?</code>   |
