1Opinion of the CourtWheeler, J.
The plaintiff was incorporated October 22d, 1914, under the laws of Connecticut, and was the successor of a corporation doing a similar business and both having capital stock.
The defendant was a stockholder of the predecessor company. He devoted a great deal of time and incurred personal expenses in securing subscribers to the stock of the plaintiff and in perfecting its organization. He subscribed for fifty shares of the plaintiff of the par value of $50 each, and the certificate for the same was duly delivered to him, but, except as hereinafter stated, he never paid for his subscription.
