from the decision of the Master, to remove the apps is
name from the list of contributories. The appellant, who
had been secretary to the company, had signed the sub-
script on agreement and parliamentary 'attract. The num-
ber of shares was 21,000, but the deeds were signed by 14
persons only and to the extent or SOO shares, and therefore
the deposits which had been paid were returned. The ap-
pellant had paid no deposit nor was any share ever allotted
to him. Under these circumstances it was contended that
the appellant was never a shareholder.
