CORPORATION

in law consists of two kinds—sole and aggregate. A. c. sole consists of one person, the holder of a public office, and his succe ors, (¢.g.), abp. or vicar. A c. aggregate is a society of persons authorized to act as one person. A corporate body must always bear a corporate name by which it sues and is sued, and it must po e a common seal to be applied to its legal documents. It can inherit property, and hold it in perpetuity, being unaffected by the death of its individual members, if only care be taken to fill vacancies according to its constitution.
