Opinion

By the Court.

As the certificates on their face merely purport to entitle the holder, in certain contingencies, to stock in corporations to be thereafter organized, the only actionable representation alleged [508]*508was the one as to value, and as to that there was an entire absence of evidence tending to prove its falsity. The court was therefore right in directing a verdict for plaintiff.

Order affirmed.
