Opinion

Irwin and others v. Oregon Ry. & Nav. Co. and others. (Circuit Court, S. D. New York. October 15, 1886.) Co h pokation — Action—Parties. On petition for rehearing by Mr. H. Villard. See 27 Fed. Rep. 625. Butler, Stillman é Hubbard, for plaintiff. Holmes é Adams, for defendant. [MAJORITY — Wallace, J.] Wallace, J. I have carefully examined the brief and authorities submitted by the counsel for Mr. Villard on the petition for a rehearing, but am unable to see liow he, as a promoter and abettor of the acts which have worked an equitable wrong to the complainants, can escape responsibility to the same extent with the corporation he represented. The petition for a rehearing has been considered on the merits; that is, as though the cause were here upon' a rehearing. An order is directed denying the prayer of the petition.
