Syllabus

<p>Appeals — Assignments of error — Findings of fact and law.</p> <p>An assignment of error which includes the rulings of the judge below on a large number of different requests for findings of fact and law is in total violation of the rules of court, and will not be considered.</p> <p>Corporations — Bonds—Ownership of bonds — Evidence—Equity.</p> <p>A bill in equity to recover the bonds of a corporation cannot be sustained where the plaintiff fails to show ownership of the bonds in himself, and merely shows that the bonds were issued to him as an officer of the corporation to be used in making purchases or raising funds for it.</p> <p>A bill in equity filed by a person as owner of collateral to recover the collateral on the ground that the debt secured by it had been paid in full cannot be sustained, where it appears that the suit was not brought until twenty-six years from the time the right of action accrued, and that the delay was due to plaintiff’s difficulty in establishing his title to the collateral as against another party. In such a case equity follows the law as to barring the action.</p>
