Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Petition for a writ of mandamus.
1Opinion of the CourtStiness, J.
The petitioners own two shares each of the stock of the American Screw Company, and pray for a writ of mandamus to compel the defendant to allow them, as such stockholders, to inspect tbe books of the company. It appears that an inspection of the books of account of the company was offered them, upon their demand, but the particular book which they desired to see was the stock ledger, or book containing a list of the stockholders, with their names and address, which was refused them by the officers of the company. An inspection of this book or list is the special prayer of the petition.
