Syllabus

<p>(a) The mortgage of a manufacturing corporation organized under the act of April 29, 1874, P. L. 78, recited that it was executed in accordance with a resolution passed at a stockholders’ meeting of a prior date, duly entered upon the minutes of said corporation:</p> <p>1. An affidavit of defence to a scire facias on said mortgage, averring that the money for which it was given was borrowed by the president without authority, that it was not authorized at a stockholders’ meeting, and that less than half the amount thereof ever came into the company’s treasury, was insufficient to prevent summary judgment.</p>
