Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the General Term's order confirming the election of Johnson, Cassidy, and Speer as directors, holding that the statutory procedures for corporate elections were properly followed and that procedural objections—including improper joinder, the judge's authority to issue an order to show cause, the effect of illegal votes, and the validity of a newly adopted stock book—did not invalidate the election.
