Side 303 - Eminent law writers on this subject say that a cause of forfeiture cannot be taken advantage of, or enforced against a corporation, Collaterally or incidentally, or in any other mode than by a direct proceeding for that purpose against the corporation, so that it may have an opportunity to answer.
Side 209 - We take the general doctrine to be in this country, though there may be exceptional cases and some authorities to the contrary, that the powers of corporations organized under legislative statutes are such and such only as those statutes confer.
