New York Court of Appeals March 27, 1928 (Sturgis v. Roche)

Per Curiam.

We think the evidence sustains a finding that the value of the coal mines at the date of the declaration of the stock dividend is fairly measured by the price paid therefor by the Glen Alden Coal Company, and is not to be augmented by a consideration of the price at which the shares of the latter company, when issued, were sold in the stock market.
