The court dismissed the claim against the first defendant but allowed the curator's claims against the second and third defendants. The plaintiff, acting as curator for the bankrupt foreign company, alleged mismanagement by the directors, supported by evidence of unpaid debts and failed payment agreements. The court found that both defendants acted as joint administrators whose poor conduct caused the insolvency, establishing joint and several liability for the remaining debt, costs, and a substantial advance payment.
