# Cases Sent Back Judge Dubois today handed down the opinion of the supreme court in plaintiff's exceptions taken to the action of the superior court in sustaining demurrers to the amended declarations in the cases of Alfred Hazlett, receiver, vs. Thomas A. Woodhead, Mary E. Woodhead, Mercantile Trust company and Providence Mutual Investment company. The action of the superior court is approved and the cases are sent back for further proceedings. These are suits to enforce stockholders' liability under a law of Nebraska. Defendants were stockholders in the American bank of Beatrice, Neb., which became insolvent. Defendants claim that the law of Nebraska was not complied with in the appointment of receiver for the bank or in relation to the bringing of these suits.
