AX iXl'MIt t'ANT ni.AISIOX. Sniii “mrr kabkinos” of baiuioam i>k- FINED. ■ Thu 'lwciFi'>u given in tii.'United |Htutea Supreme Court in the ease of pKomas St. John vs. tho Erie Rail- Rrny Comimny, rendered a few days ■nee, is likely to form a celebrated jAeccdent In railroad eases. For in ; BttiDi'e, it is said that tlie Union Pa- Sllle Railroad Comimny will save over ftoo.oooa year in tholr imyment to the government by this decision— that is, the authoritative construction j of the phrase “net earnings" will render thorn liable to pay loss by that amount on account of government l claims. Wegivo the material portion of the decision: The preferred dividends wore to be paid out of "the net earnings of the road." The lexical definition of net is "clear of all charges and dedue-] tions. —Webster. “Xhut which re mains after the deduction of all charges or outlay, as net prolit." Worcester. The popular acceptation of the term is the same. There is no j controversy between the parties on ; this subject. Such net earnings must have been earned in "the current year.” There are these four specific | limitations. There are no others. It is not said that the preferred divi-j deuds shall be jwild next after the mtortgage interest and delayed cou pons, nor after nor pro rata wii h any thing else except dividends upon the common stock. Beyond the four restrictions named the matter is left to be regulated wholly by ilie princi- I'ifcs of law uud the discretion of the . Suppose in this ease the ball I.• i of coupons of the sterling bonds and the holders of preferred Bfoek claimed payment at the same tim. , and the fund was insudicieut to meet both demands, can it lie doubt ed that the rights of the creditor wbilld be held paramount to those of the .share-holder, and that t lie inter est must be fully satistied before a tltvideud oould be paid V The plain est principles of reason and justice, as well as the law, would require this ; i-esult. A question is raised as to the source to which the phrase “net earnings of ihe road” refers. The term "road” la used as an appellative, and was clearly Intended to include the prin •etpl. road and ail adjuncts. The ■complainant insists that the “net earnings” must be the net earnings of things ns they were when the pre ferred stock was issued. We lind nothing in the ease, express or im plied, to warrant this view. At the fPRc referred to the company held certain leases. If it was deemed best, and wus found practicable, could not the company have rid itself of them V It the complainant's view bo correct BHseonld not l>e done, at any rate not without, the consent of the pre ferred stockholders. So if the com pany deemed it proper to take leases of other roads, in addition to those previously hold, or in place of them, what was there to prevent it? Upon what ground cun it be claimed that the category "net earnings of the road ’ was not intended to embrace the net earnings of all the business of the company for the time being, whether done ’upon one or many road There is nothing in the agreement or the statute, and wo are aware of no legal principle which would au thorize the stockholders in question ; to analyze the business, select out a | part of it, and to say that the net earnings speci tied must boa predi cate of that part, and of none other. I 13)8 company had the right to con duct its operations in good faith, as it may see fit; anil it was from them and all of them that the materials for the computations of earnings j were to lie derived. Tiie only qualification prescribed! in this connection is not as to the •hope, means or elements of the Imsi fcess, but is one in point of time. | The net earnings from which the i preferred dividends were lo be paid must have been earned “in the cur rent year.” Whether the business of such year was large or small, or of what it consisted was immaterial. The corporation never agreed to be limited in the exercise of its facilities and franchises, und the complainant must abide the result. If errors were committed and a loss ensued, a court of equity cannot relieve him. Tt is one of the chances of the enterprise iii Which lie embarked. nMFhe business <>r l lie road was a unit. If it hail been disintegrated, as proposed by the complainant, we apprehend that, it would have been found that the correlations of the main stem and the branches wore such, and that the expenses and charge- incident to the entire busi ness and those of the several parts were so interwoven and blended that an aecurute ascertainment of the net profit of the main line und any of the auxiliaries taken soperately from the rest, would have been impracticable. An ancillary road may be short and yield but little income, and yet by reason of its reaching to coal fields or from other local causes, its contri butions to other roads of the scries may bo very large arid profitable. Whether in this ease the partial com putation insisted upon could or could not. have been made, the process was one upon which the company was neither bound nor had the right to eater. We hold that the computation by the company- for the year 1868 was made upon the proper basis and that the complainant is concluded in it. We arc of the opinion that the rents for that year, accruing under leases taken by the company after the issu ing of this preferred stock, and the interest upon the sterling bonds fur that year were properly paid, and i that there were no net earnings j earned in that year which could Ik properly applied to the payment t ptef' rred dividends. These views are fatui to the complainant’s case. We have carefully examined all the au thorities referred to by the learned counsel. None of them are in hostil ity to the conclusions at which we have arrived. Sans Souci Bar!
