    Appeal from a judgment, entered January 20, 1921, upon an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the third judicial department, which affirmed an order of Special Term denying a motion to overrule a demurrer to the complaint. The action was to recover the unpaid balance on a subscription for capital stock. The price of the stock was $5,425. At the time of subscription defendant paid $500 on account thereof. He refused to pay the balance upon the ground that the amount paid by him upon the purchase price did not amount to ten per cent as required by section 53 of the Stock Corporation Law.
