This is an action brought by respondent against Atlantian Construction Company, a corporation, and J. H. Meyering, William P. Mason, D. H. Naylor, Jr., and A. T. Jameson, alleged to be the stockholders of the corporation and also alleged to be copartners therein. Judgment was entered against the corporation and two of the directors and stockholders, namely, J. H. Meyering and William P. Mason, in the sum of $2,000, together with interest. Atlantian Construction Company and J. H. Meyering, one of the directors and stockholders, have appealed.

Appellants urge that the judgment cannot be sustained for the reasons: “1. There is no warrant either in the facts or the law for a judgment against the appellant J. H. Meyering as a copartner of the defendant William P. Mason; 2. The respondent settled the matter of which she complains by a contract in writing between herself and the appellant corporation.”

The Atlantian Construction Company was a building company and was duly incorporated on June 10, 1921, and a copy of the articles of incorporation was duly filed with the county clerk of Los Angeles County, the city of Los Angeles being the principal place of business of the corporation.…
