A new isult*Sinst:the Directors of the

August Belmont. The complaint is found
ed on affidavits by Frank Work and otnens,.
substantially setting forth that the money
of the Erie Company has been used , by
Messrs. Gould, Fisk & Lane in nirtherance
of stock :speculations for their. private in
terest. The affidavits farther set forth that
recently Lane was insolvent, and that Fisk
was an adventurer from New England. It
is also ;alleged, in the affidavits that
Pike's Opera House ,had been purchased
tin the sole name of Fisk with the money of„,
the Company td.the amount of $850,000.
}Messrs. Fisk, Gould Qt. Lane' are farther
,charged with having issued froins2B,ooo,ooo
'to $30,000,600 of -:'Spurious shares, . with h
view of creating tV corner”,in Wall street.
The affidavits further allege that the above
named individuals. have denied the other
Directors access tif - lhe books, and, in fact,
managed the affaintottbe COmpany exclu
sively for their owttlitteresland in a reck
less, manner. Judge Sutherland granted,

removing any of • the books, papers,

that the funds shall be applied for no pur

debts and expenses of the Company. The
balance is to be disposed of in sdch manner
as the Court may from time_to time direct.
The Court also orders that the officers and
agents of the Company shall refrain from
in any manner obstructing any of the di
rectors from examining any of the books
of the said Company. Another snit has
been begun by Charles Mclntosh against
the 'Directors and August Belmont, in

whether this is in, aid or against the first
