EQUITY COURTS.—YEBTERDLT.
Before the Lord chancellor.
Ilia Lordship disposed of a number of petitions in ',lunacy,
which were not opposed nor of any general interest.
IN RE Dyer BOXER', A LUNATIC.
Mr. Tennant stated that the object of this petition was
to inquire whether a Mr. Vincent MacDonald was a trustee
of a fund vested in his name.—The Lord Chancellor asked
where the fund was invested P—Mr. Tennant said it did not
appear clearly.—The Lord Chancellor said unless the fund
was in this country he could not have any jurisdiction over
it, and he would not make en order, unless it appeared the
fund was within his jurisdiction. He supposed it was under
the control of the government et Bengal. Let it be ascer-
tained where the Lund is.
IN THE MATTER OF TUB ACT 11 AND 12 Vie., 0 46, FOIL
WINDING UP THE AFFAIRS OP JOINT STOCK Codritsign,
AND GP THE Vi REAL LOVELL MINING COMPANY EX PARTS
'Anna WYLD, M P.
This was an appeal against an order of Vice-Chancellor
Knight Bruce, by which his Honour ordered that the public
officer of the said company should pay to Mr, Wyld a cer-
tain debt and costs, for which he, as a shareholder in the
company, was sued at law, subject to deduction of the
amount of calls due on Mr. Wyld's shares, and that unless
such payments were made by the said company, or their
officer, within a time mentioned, then that the affairs of the
company ought to be wound up, and the company dissolved.
—Mr. Roll and Mr. Follett, in support of the appeal, con-
tended that the Wheal Lovell Mining Company, being a sol-
vent company, did not fall within the scope of the act, which
was applicable only to such joint-stock companies as were not
in a condition to meet their liabilities. The property, ma-
chinery, and effects, of this company far exceeded their liabi-
lities, as appeared by the balance-sheet. They also contended
that the petitioner, Mr. Wyld, had no equity to lay a founda-
tion for his application. lie owed all the calls made on his
shares since the formation of the company in 1845,,
although he had been often applied to for paymrou ent. It is
true that certain creditors of the company bght actions
against Mr. Wyld, and the company refused to defend them,
because he would not pay the calls on his shares. They also
took objections to the form of the order.—Mr. Bacon and
Mr. J. 11. Palmer supported the order, and, referring to
several sections of the Winding-up Act, particularly the 2ad
and 18th, they contended that all mining companies were
subject to it, whether solvent or not ; but they also
that It did not appear by the balance-sheet exhibited by this
company that they had means to meet their liabilities If
they had why should they allow actions to be brought by
thew tradesmen and other creditors against the petitioner.
Three actions, with the cost of them, which Kr WW yid had
to pay, gave him equity enough to seek to have the affairs of
the compare up, to prevent more actions being
brought t him.—Mr. Bolt replied—The Lerd Chan-
cellor sai he would give his iudgment next Monday.
-PRINcEA.LeaRTo.STRANoII.

Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce to restrain the defendant, Mr.

procured copies of the royal etchings, was made a defendant.

made before Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce to dissolve so
much of the injunction as restrained the defendants front
