Suits.

A corporation formed under the act of 1802, ch.111, can only be sued in its cor-
porate name; and a suit against the trustees individually designating them as trustees
of the corporation, and omitting part of the corporate name, is not a suit against the
corporate body. Tartar v. Gibbs, 24 Md. 335.

Under the act of 1802, ch.111, suit might be brought by a minority of the trustees
(constituting a quorum for the transaction of business), in their corporate capacity
against a majority of the trustees individually. African Methodist, etc Church v
Carmack, 2 Md. Ch. 143.
