Oliver v. Blair

Supreme Court of California

6 P. 847 (Cal. 1885)

Opinion

         Department 2. Appeal from the superior court of the city and county of San Francisco.

          SYLLABUS

         DECREE--ALLEGATIONS OF COMPLAINT TO SUPPORT.

         Where a complaint alleges that certain defendants were the owners of stock, and that they transferred the same for certain purposes to another, who, in turn, in fraud and violation of the agreement under which he received the stock, transferred the same to the appellant, who having full knowledge of the facts, threatened to sell such stock, a decree as to him, enjoining the sale or the offering for sale of such stock, and directing that he return and deliver the same in specified amounts to persons named, is justified by the allegations of the complaint.

         W. S. Goodfellow, for appellant.

         W. M. Pierson, A. Compte, Jr., and Joseph Napthaly, for respondent.

          OPINION

          MYRICK, J.

         This appeal is by the defendant Coubrough alone. He was made a party to the suit, and was served with summons, but did not answer. The decree, as to him, enjoined the sale, or offering for sale, of 40,120 shares of certain stock, and directed that he return and deliver the said stock in specified amounts to persons named. Coubrough alone is interested in the question before us. We have only to see if the decree is beyond the allegations and prayer in the pleadings. The complaint alleged that Collycott, Adams, and Shoenbar were the owners of certain stock, and that for certain purposes, under agreement, they transferred the same to Blair, who, in violation of the agreement, transferred the same to Coubrough, the latter being Blair's agent, and having full knowledge of the purposes for which it had been transferred to Blair; and that Coubrough threatened to sell the stock. We think sufficient appears in the complaint which, taken as confessed by Coubrough, justified the decree.

         Judgment affirmed.

         We concur: SHARPSTEIN, J.; THORNTON, J.
