Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. Harold Kolovsky, Assistant Attorney-General, argued the cause for the appellant (Mr. Grover C. Richman, Jr., Attorney-General of New Jersey, attorney; Mr. Charles J. Kehoe, Assistant Deputy Attorney-General, on the brief).

Mr. Harris A. Reynolds, of the Massachusetts Bar and Assistant Attorney-General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, argued the cause for the intervenor-claimant-respondent (Mr. William R.

Mr. Josiah Stryker argued the cause for the defendant-respondent (Messrs. Stryker, Tams & Horner, attorneys).

The opinion of the court was delivered by JACOBS, J.

The State of New Jersey appealed to the Appellate Division from the judgment of the Chancery Division that dividends which had been declared many years ago by The American Sugar Refining Company, a New Jersey corporation, and had remained unclaimed by stockholders whose last known addresses were in Massachusetts, escheated to Massachusetts rather than New Jersey. We certified New Jersey's appeal under R.R.
