A failure in making- any of the payments re quired by the law, operates a lorfciture of alrpreceding payments. Vhe late a# provides thdt -the Stockholders may pay up, as fuon as they think proper, the teveral initalments frill to become due on their ihares, or any part but the aggregate amount of the voluntary payment? so to be- made is not to.exceed in any one year 100,000 dol lars.
