W F. Gebhart. 20 #1,000.”
The complaint did not aver that any installment of stock had been required by the directors.
Demurrer to the complaint for this cause. The demurrer was overruled. Judgment for the plaintiffs for the amount of the subscription.
The demurrer should have been sustained. No time for *485the payment of the stock was fixed in the article of subscription. That was left to be fixed by the board of directors, with this only restriction, that not more than 10 per cent, of the sum subscribed could be made payable every sixty days. But if the board did not thus make the requisition for it, the stock did not become thus payable. No installment was due till it had been required by the board.
N. and G. Trusler and B. F. Clay pool, for the appellant. S. W Parker and J C. McIntosh, for the appellees. Per Ou/riam.The judgment is reversed with costs. Cause remanded, &c.
