1Opinion of the CourtWilbur, J.
This is an action by the plaintiff corporation to recover from the defendants, its former directors, the amount of its entire capital alleged to have been illegally divided among the- stockholders. Plaintiff recovered judgment for the full amount claimed, $122,750, against defendant W. A. Hershiser only, who appeals from the judgment and also from the order taxing costs. Both appeals will be considered together, as the latter appeal involves the costs for levying an attachment, and the ground of objection thereto is that the action is not one on a contract express or implied.
