Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Stock Brokers The transactions growing out of the sale and hypothecation of the securities dealt in at the Stock Exchange already form, both in their number and magnitude, one of the most important branches of business carried on in great commercial centres, and the questions arising out of them are subjects upon which the lawyer is almost daily called upon to advise. Several excellent works have been written on kindred subjects, which, however, have been devoted rather to the character of such securities, and the obligations they impose upon the corporations issuing them, than to the law governing the parties buying and selling them. In the present work the authors have attempted to discuss the law relating to the agents in these transactions, - stock brokers and their customers, - and the character of the thing sold, so far as it relates to questions arising out of sales of it.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Stock-Brokers and Stock-Exchanges, Vol. 2 of 2 But negligence cannot be imputed to trustees for leaving documents of title in the hands of one of their number, and allowing him to receive the income; and no authority to deal with the property (railway debentures) can be implied even in favor of a bona y'z'de purchaser from such trustee.1 And the mere intrusting, by the owner of stock, of his cer tificates to bankers for safe-keeping is not of itself such neg ligence as will prevent a reclamation even after the stock has passed into the hands of a bona fide purchaser by means of a forgery because the mere possession of the certificates is not complete evidence of ownership. It is, however, such negligence as disentitles the owner who reclaims to costs.'2 So in Bank vs. Evans3 trustees of an incorporated charity possessed stock in the public funds registered in the Bank of Ireland. The secretary of the incorporated trustees was allowed to have the seal in his possession. Five powers of attorney, sealed with the seal of the incorporated trustees, the due affixing of which seal was attested by witnesses, were presented to the bank, and the stock was transferred. By a power of att6rney duly executed, the trustees then authorized C. To transfer the stock, but the bank refused to make the transfer. An action was brought by the trustees on this refusal; the judge who tried the case told the jury that if, under these circumstances, the trustees bad so neg ligently conducted themselves as to contribute to the loss, the verdict must be given for the bank. On exception for this direction, held, that it was wrong. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Corporations Having a Capital Stock, Vol. 2 In New York it is still held that the broker is but a pledgee, but a broker is entitled to pledge his customer's stock to raise money to pay for the stock, it having been purchased for the customer on margin and the broker being ready at all times to produce that amount of the stock.1 In Massachusetts still different rules prevail. In that state the rule is clearly laid down that a broker is not a pledgee of stocks which he buys for his customer on a margin, but that, on the contrary, the broker is the owner of the stock and that he is not bound to keep the stock of one customer distinct from that of another, but may take a single certificate in his own name for several customers, and may pledge the stock for advances made to himself, and that he is the per son to be taxed on such stock.2 The supreme court of the United States.
