Opinion

BuogdeN, J.

The liability of stockholders of insolvent banks is prescribed by C. S., 219(a). It has been held that this liability is contractual. Corp. Com. v. Bank, 192 N. C., 366. The statute creates no preference for such a liability and none results from the application of the pertinent principles of equity. Therefore, the judge ruled correctly.

Affirmed.
