Ostrander, New York State 684 (Albany, 1824) p. 684 - It is, however, objected on the part of the defendants that, the supervisor, if endued with corporate powers, is a corporation sole, which cannot take goods and chattels in succession; that they do not, on his death, go to the successor, but the personal representatives; and they cite Kyd on Corporations, Intro. P. 31, Co. Litt. 46, b. Where it is said, "If a lease for years be made to a bishop, and his successors, yet his executors and administrators shall have it, in auterdroit; for, regularly, no chattel shall go to succession, in case of a sole corporation, no more than if a lease be made to a man and his heirs, it can go to his heirs." ... corporation sole are of two kinds: the one when the person has a corporate capacity for his own benefit; the other when he acts only as trustee for the benefit of others. Of the former kind, Kyd instances the king, bishops, parsons, &c.; of the other, the most familiar instance, says the same author, is the chamberlain of the city of London, who may take a recognizance to himself and successors, in trust for the orphans.
