STOCK, mer. law. The capital of a merchant tradesman, or other person
including his merchandise, money and credits. In a narrower sense it
signifies only the goods and wares he has for sale and traffic. The capital
of corporations is also called stock; this is usually divided into shares of
a definite value, as one hundred dollars, fifty dollars per share.
2. The stock held by individuals in corporations is generally
considered as personal property. 4 Dane's Ab. 670; Sull. on Land. Titl. 71;
Walk. Introd. 211; 1 Hill, Ab. 1 8.
STOCK, descents. This is a metaphorical expression which designates, in the genealogy of a family, the person from whom others are descended: those persons who have so descended are called branches. Vide 1 Roper on Leg. 103; 2 Suppl. to Ves. 307 and Branch; Descent Line; Stirpes.
