Jackson ex dem. Trustees of the Union Academy v. Plumbe , 8 Johns. 378 ( 1811 )

Per Curiam.

The rule seems to be that when a corporation sues, either on a contract, or to recover real property, they must, at the trial, under the general issue, prove that they are a corporation. (Hob. 21. 2 Ld. Raym. 1535. 1 Kydon Corporations, 292, 293. Peters v. Mills, Bull. N. P. 107.) The nonsuit in this case was, therefore, properly directed.

Motion denied.
