LAW INTELLIGSNCE. SIDS DAT.) EQUITY COURT. (Leto* Tke-Chamodlor Sir R. T. Matlan& iy.) N7W :Pkt ••WICk AND CANADA RAILWAY AND LAND COIF ANY T. AITOORRIDOI.IDITORTANT TO ORARI• ROI PLS.. The Vice-Chamellor delivered judgment in this moo. He said the bill Was tiled by a joint-stock company against Mr. %V ilium liuggetidge, and it prayed for &specific performance of an allot e I agreement to take 250 shares in the company. The -inpany sue formed m July, 1858, for the purpose of taking a transfer .4 the rights, privilege., and liabilities of the St. Andhs's sal Quebec Hallway Company. The pro posed capital of the company was 800,0001., in 201. shares According to the articles of association, the appli cm', fee shares were required to pay a de posit ef 2f. a share on making the application. Ihtendant applied for 300 shares, his applies- lira bang ie the following terms Having mid hits the Bank of London the sum of 0001., 1 request you wfil allot me 100 shams of class A, and 200 shams of elms B, In th. +aid undertaking; end I hereby agree to accept such 'hares, or any 1e.,1 number that may be allotted to me, and t,. pay the future calk thereon." The shams at that time commanded a premium in the stock exchange, and many more were applied for than the total number to be allotted. The number allotted to the defendant was 60 of due A, and 200 of Class B, and 100/. of the deposit mosey woe returned to hito. On the 14th of August following, the secretary of the company Mat to the defendants ropy of the merooren• dum of emoclution, and requested him to sign and to Muni It, but he sedated to do so. At a subse quent meeting of the company, the seal of the com pany we attached to the register of shareholders :L. :b included the defendant's neeTse for 260 shares. A dividend was declared, end tho secretary again sent the articles of seeoclation to the; ddendent, with a request that be wanl.l sign and return then, and the dividend warrants w , ald then ba rut to him. Defendant, however, did not sign the articles. In November, 1867, •bother call of 21. wee made, and as Mr. Muggeridge did not pay, an Action was brought matted him to recover the amount. A verdict we. taken for the plaintiff, subject to • special ease. The cam wee then argued before the full Court of Bachman, sal the coat decided that the defendant had not accepted the shrew, and consequently defeadant wee not liable. Thereupon the platen& filed the present bill, praying for • eget& perforeranis of the &grommet to accept shame, the alleged agreement being the application for other,' above stated. By the Joint Stock Companies Act of 11366, it 14as provided that if there were no elides of emaciation of a company, a certain form of regulation In schedule B of that act should Wand la their plies. This regulation stated "that no person shall he deemed to have accepted abates unless he he eigni- Bed the seeeptence thereof by writing under hie hand." Tow the plat to this bill was that the defendant did not tes tify hie acceptance of shares of the company by writing under his hand, He conceived that that was no answer to the bill. The bill asked for riptide c, of an agreement, and the plea wee that the efendant lied not performed it. The argument, however, we. not founded on the pies. but on the merits of the case, end ha would, therefore, state hi. opinion on the merits, In his opent Mr. bluggeridge, by the terms of his application for an allotment. distinctly agreed to accept such ahem The neat question wee—war this au agreement which that c.•ort ought to rpeciecally perform. It was agreed that this was a teas of a p•rtaereheq and that the court would not decree specific performance of an agreement to become • rennet, inseam: a, if there was no term fmieg the duration of the partnership, the defendant might the mat moment put an end to It, and the decree would therefore be nugatory. This however, was not the care of an ordinary partnership. A shareholder in a joint stock company could act withdraw from the company in the way Mae a purser in an ordinary parteseehip could withdraw from the pertnetship. All be could do was to tran.fer hie shorn some other person, end • decree for a specter perforeanee in theme therefore wool not be nuga tory, but would c infer a s•bseentiel imnett as the company. Hs thought, that, fore, that this wee • awe in which the court -le.ald di irre *pride perforemmee. If the vale, of the slums instead of billing in the market, had risen, and the company bed hewn to ley to Mr. Maggeridge, "You shall not bare the share, we had allotted to you," there we no:doubt that Mr. Idugesridge would have had kis remedy span*.
