Corporations, \u00a7 147 \u2014when sale of shares of stock will not be set aside. On bill to set aside the sale of certain shares of stock for misrepresentations made by the buyer as to the amount of profits earned by the corporation, a decree dismissing the bill for want of equity sustained, the evidence being conflicting with reference to whether the representations were made and it appearing that the defendants sustained no fiduciary relation to the complainant.\n2. Witnesses, \u00a7 257 \u2014when evidence of proceedings in bankruptcy not admissible to discredit testimony of witness. For the purpose of discrediting the testimony of a witness, a petition for such witness\u2019 discharge in bankruptcy, the report of the referee refusing such discharge and a transcript of his testimony on the hearing of objections to such discharge, held inadmissible where the proceedings in bankruptcy were had long prior to the transaction in controversy and had no relation to any proper subject of inquiry in the case.\nAppeal from the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. Theodore Brentano, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1912.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed December 31, 1913.\nStatement of the Case.\nBill filed by John M.
