Opinion of the Court
Mr. Justice Brewer:

Mr. Justice Brewer:

This case is also an appeal by a stockholder from the same decree, and presents only-this difference: This stockholder voted against the, resolutions passed by the stockholders looking to a volunta^ liquidation. There is, therefore, nothing of a personal estoppel to be adjudged against him, but we do not think that that-is material. The requisite amount of stock was voted in favor of what was done ’ in the way of voluntary liquidation, and he as a stockholder is bound by that, although personally he dissented from the action. The same decree of affirmance will be entered in this case.
