    "head_matter": "Dudley A. Tyng, Appellee, v. United Mercantile Agency et al., Appellants.\nGen. No. 18,376.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Corporations, \u00a7 71 \u2014when by-law governing transfer of certificates of stock not unreasonable. A by-law of a corporation requiring shares of the capital stock to be transferred by indorsement of the certificates to the secretary for cancellation, whereupon new certificates are to be issued to the transferee or to his written order, held not unreasonable.\n2. Corporations, \u00a7 156 \u2014when mandamus issues to compel transfer of stock on book of company. Before the transfer of capital stock in a corporation will be compelled by mandamus, every reasonable requirement of the by-laws must be shown to have been complied with.\n3. Mandamus, \u00a7 98 \u2014when issuance to compel transfer of shares of stock is error. Awarding a writ of mandamus to compel a corporation and its officers to transfer shares of capital stock on the books of the corporation, held error where petitioner failed to show compliance with a by-law requiring the certificate to be assigned to the secretary of the corporation.\nAppeal from the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. William Fenimore Cooper, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1912.\nReversed and remanded with directions.\nOpinion filed December 31, 1913.\nStatement of the Case.\nPetition by Dudley A. Tyng against United Mercantile Agency, a corporation, P. H. Early, president, and E. E. Hughes, secretary, for a writ of mandamus to compel defendants to transfer certain shares of capital stock on the books of the corporation. From a judgment awarding the writ, defendants appeal.\nArthur O. Hoffmann, for appellants.\nMatthias B. Pittman, for appellee.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, same topic and section number."
