WALLACE, J. The demurrer to the bill must be sustained, upon the authority of the previous decisions of this court in Ctaflin v. Mc[)errTUJtt, 12 Fed. Rep. 375, and Walser v. Seligman, 13 Fed. Rep. 415. As those cases were decided by me, I feel free to say that I doubt whether they do not adopt a" too technical view of the right of a creditor whose judgment has been obtained against his debtor at the place of his domicile, and whose execution has been issued there, and returned unsatisfied, to maintain a creditors' bill in a court of another state; and I may be permitted to express the hope that the present case may be taken to the supreme court for review. . .

thereon; that the corporation became insolvent; and that of its creditors, recovered judgment against it in an Ohio stfJ-te court, upon which judgm(jnt e:lCecution was returned unsatisfied. The complainant now seeks·;. by this bill, in behalf of itself and the other creditors,to compelpaymeotby the defEmdant of the amount of said subscription to tbecapital stock. No judgment bas been recovered against tbe railroad corporation in tbe state of New York. In the three cases of Claflin v. McDermott,12 Fed. Rep. 375; Walser 'T. Seligman, 13 Fed., Rep. 415; and NationflZ Co. v. Ballou, ante, 749,Judge WALI,ACE' held that a creditors' bill in this court could not be sustained which was based only upon a judgment obtained against his debtor in a state court at the place of his domicile, in another state, and upon an un!'1atisfied e:lCecution issuing out of that court, no judgment having been recovered in this state. No distinction of importance is perceived, and none has been pointed out, between the last two cases and this case. The bill does not seem to be authorized by statute which permits the liability to be enforced by an immediate resort to a court of equity in case of the insolvency of the corporation. In the Tube- Works 0>. Case the judge says that he qoubts whether a too technical view has not been adopted in and hopes that the last case may be taken to the supratnecourt' for review, which has been done. Unless a valid distinction can, be shown between the case at har and the precedinj:( cases, '. the demurrer must be sustained; in the present state of the decisions in this circuit. The'demurrer is sustained;
