§ 110. Separate action may be brought against officers and stockholders. Where the stockholders, directors, trustees, or other officers of a corporation, who are made liable, in any event or contingency, for the payment of a debt, are not made parties defendant, as prescribed in the last section, the plaintiff in the action may maintain a separate action against them, to procure a judgment, declaraing, apportioning and enforcing their liability.

8 111. Proceedings in such actions. In an action brought as prescribed in either of the last two sections, the court must, when it is necessary, cause an account to be taken of the property and of the debts of the corporation, and thereupon the defendant's liability must be apportioned accordingly; but, if it affirmatively appears, that the corporation is insolvent, and has no property to satisfy its creditors, the court may, without taking such an account, ascertain and determine the amount of each defendant's liability, and enforce the same accordingly.

§ 112. Distribution of property of corporation by judgment in actions under this article. A final judgment in an action, brought against a corporation, as prescribed in this article, either separately or in conjunction with its stockholders, directors, trustees, or other officers, must provide for a just and fair distribution of the property of the corporation, and of the proceeds thereof, among its fair and honest creditors, in the order and in the proportions prescribed by law, in case of the voluntary dissolution of a corporation.

§ 113. Recovery of stock subscriptions. Where the stockholders of the corporation are parties to the action, if the property of the corporation is not sufficient to discharge its debts, the interlocutory or final judgment, as the case requires, must adjudge that each stockholder pay into court the amount due and remaining unpaid, on the shares of stock held by him, or so much thereof as is necessary to satisfy the debts of the corporation.

§ 114. Liability of directors and stockholders. If it appears, that the property of the corporation, and the sums, collected or collectable from the stockholders, upon their stock subscriptions, are or will be insufficient to pay the debts of the corporation, the court must

ascertain the several sums, for which the directors, trustees, or other officers, or the stockholders of the corporation, being parties to the action, are liable; and must adjudge that the same be paid into court, to be applied, in such proportions and in such order as justice requires, to the payment of the debts of the corporation.

§ 115. Effect of this article. This article does not repeal or affect any special provision of law, prescribing that a particular kind of corporation shall cease to exist, or shall be dissolved, in a case or in a manner, not prescribed in this article; or any special provision of law, prescribing the mode of enforcing the liability of the stockholders of a particular kind of corporation.

§ 131. Action by attorney-general to annul corporation by leave of court. Upon leave being granted, as prescribed in the next section, the attorney-general may bring an action against a corporation created by or under the laws of the state, to procure a judgment, vacating the charter or annullnng the existence of the corporation, upon the ground that it has, either

1. Offended against any provision of an act, by or under which it was created, altered or renewed, or an act amending the same, and applicable to the corporation; or,

§ 133. Jury trial. An action, brought as prescribed in this article, is triable, of course and of right, by a jury, as if it was an action specified in section nine hundred and sixty-eight of the code of civil procedure and without procuring an order, as prescribed in section nine hundred and seventy of the code of civil procedure.

Where any of

8 134. Injunction and receiver in final judgment. the matters, specified in section one hundred and thirty or section one hundred and thirty-one of this article, are established in an action, brought as prescribed in either of those sections, the court may render final judgment that the corporation, and such officer thereof, be perpetually enjoined from exercising any of its corporate rights, privileges, and franchises; and that it be dissolved. The judgment

In an action, brought as prescribed in this article, an injunction order may be granted, at any stage of the action, restraining the corporation, and any or all of its directors, trustees and other officers, from exercising any of its corporate rights, privileges, or franchises; or from exercising certain of its corporate rights, privileges, or franchises, specified in the injunction order; or from exercising any franchise, liberty, or privilege, or transacting any business, not allowed by law. Such an injunction is deemed one of those specified in section six hundred and three of the code of civil procedure, and all the provisions of title second of chapter seventh of the code of civil procedure applicable to an injunction specified in that section, apply to an injunction granted as prescribed in this section, except that it can be granted only by the court.

§ 136. Filing and publishing judgment. Where final judgment. is rendered against a corporation, in an action, brought as prescribed in this article, the attorney-general must cause a copy of the judg ment-roll to be forthwith filed in the office of the secretary of state; who must cause a notice of the substance and effect of the judgment, to be published, for four weeks, in a newspaper printed in the county, wherein the principal place of business of the corporation was located.
