LIT OF SEAM
U.-JUDGMENT.

IN JOINT ISTOCt CO*-

This was en action against some of the directors and
shareholders of a registered joint stink company, called the
Royal Bank of Australia, to recover the amount of certain
promissory notes signed by the directors on behalf of she
company. The defence was that the directors were not autho-
need to bind the shareholders to the extent to which these
notes would render them liable. The facts had come be-
fore the court in the form of a special case which was
argued in the course of the last term, when their lordships
took time to consider their judgment.
Lord Campbell delivered judgment, saying that the
question the court had to determine was whether the share-
holders of the company were jointly liable as makers of the
promissory notes set out in the case, or as borrowers of the
money sought to be recovered. Two of the defendants
were directors of the company ; one of the Iwo had actually
signed the notes, but the other four deferdants were only
shareholders. The court were clearly of opinion that the
shareholders were liable, both as makers of the notes and as
borrowers of the money for which the notes were intended
to be a security. Several preliminary objections had been
taken oa behalf of the defendants, which the court would
first dispose of. It had been contended that supposing the
directors were authorised to bind the shareholders by these
promissory notes, the notes could not be binding because of
' the insertion of the words "acid severally" having been in-
troduced into them. It was clear that every shareholder of
the company might have successfully denied his separate
[liability, but it did sot follow that the tharehulders were not
I jointly liable if they could be bound by a joint note. The
instrument might be void as a separate, hut valid
as • joint security. To vitiate a joint security be-
cause it purported to be a separate security,
would be unjust, and contrary to legal maxims.
It had been next objected that the notes were not binding
on the shareholders, because they bad not been given
in the name of the partnership firm. Now it the directors
had power to draw the notes, and expressed their intentera
of binding the company,the court thought the notes were suf-
ficient, as it could not be necessary that the names of all the
shareholders should be enumerated. " Expiate Buck"
(14 M. and W.), " Hall v. Smith" (l Barn. and Cres-
well), and other eases, decided that the signature of a di-
rector or of an agent appointed for the purpose, was suffi-
cient to bind the whole of a firm ore joint.stock company.
It had been further objected that the notes were payable at
the animal period of five yeses after date, and thut interest
was to be paid half-yearly. Now, in answer to this objec-
tion, it was sufficient to say that the validity of the
notes must depend on the authority possessed by the
directors to melee them. He now arrived at the
real merits of the case, and the court had to
consider whether, under the circumstances, the di-
rectors of this company bad authority to make thees
notes, which had been signed by three directors, and issued
by order of the boxed of directors. The court did not
think that the plaintiffs could entirely rely on an implied
authority of the directors to issue notes at the ordinary
banking rates of interest. Where a juincatock company
was established, the directors must be considered as the
agents of the shareholders, to borrow money in the ordi-
nary way of business, and to give securities in the ordinary
form. But the transactions out of which the notes give&
in the present case arose could not be considered as ordinary
banking transactions. The money borrowed was to be used
as capital, and the securities were not such as were gene-
rally given by a banking company. It lay on the plaintiff's
to show that, from:some extraordinary course of business
authorised by the deed of settlement, or from extraordi-
nary powers conferred on the directors, they could
bind the company beyond the ordinary extent. They
must first apply themselves to the deed of settlement.
The scope of the business of the company was described in
section 6, by which directors had full authority confined
on them to carry on business in London or in Australia, is
New Zealand, in the territories of the Bast India C'ompany''
and in any of the territories to which her Majesty's sub-
jects might trade beyond the Cape of Good Hope and the
Straits of Magellan. They were authorised to establish
banks in almost any part of the habitable world. They
must therefore have been vetted with much more exten-
sive powers than if they bad been empowered only to
carry oa business in one particular locality. Ity section 9
the company could make or issue bills or notes upon the
security of any kind of property whatever. By section 10
full powers for carrying on the business of the company
were vested in the directors, except as hereafter excepted.
With such enormous powers of carrying oat such stupendous
objects, could it be said that the 'veers of the directors
for raising capital were confined to selling shares, what-
ever might be the state of the market at the time?
Did not section 10 mean that money might be borrowed ea
promissory notes or debenture' in this country and seat to
Australia, where branch banks being established, it might
be lent at high interest upon the security of any kind of
property ? The bone fide holders of the promissory notes
could not, therefore, be prejudiced by the misapplication et
the wary se borrowed ; but in truth here the money had
ant beam misapplied, because 300,0001. had actut lly
bus seat to Australia, and advanced upon property them.
illeindents contended that this was a mere transaction
aporobsoo and sale ; but the use of these words in the ao-
oossato did not alter the nature of the transaction, whisk
redly resolved itself into • loan of money for a given time
at five per cent. The court had eamidered the parts of the
dead relied on by the defendants (ee1:m.14,16,23,24, and 30).
and thought that none of them by way of exception or otherwise
invalidated the securities beet sued upon. But even if there
lad been any irregularity in the original transaction which
would *exempt the shareholders from liability, they bad
rendered themselves liable by subsequent ratification. For
five years the shareholders were kept in ignorance of the
manner in which business had been done, and during that
long period they left everything to the discretion of the
directors, in whom they placed unbounded confidence,
receiving in the mean time • handsome yearly dividend.
At length, eta general meeting of the proprietors, on the
30th of July, 1845, a statement of the affairs of the com-
pany was laid before them. That statement was sufficiently
clear to communicate to persons of ordinary understanding
and acquaintance with commercial affairs, that beyond
the paid up capital on 11,000 and odd shares, there had
been between 200,0001. and 800,0001. borrowed by the di-
rectors and transmitted to Australia. There were similse
reports made at the yearly meetings of 1846 and 1847,
which reports were approved of. The court might ems-
mherate the situation of the shareholders, when in 1849,
the company having become insolvent, an order was mute
by the Court of Chancery for winding.up its affairs, and
they were called upon as contributories; but the acts of the
directors, which they now sought to repudiate, bad been
originally authorised and subsequently ratified by them.
They might have been ill-used by the directors. although
the directors as well as themselves might have acted under
delusive hopes of the enormous gains which would scenes
to the company out of the transactions in Australia; bat
whether the directors bad misconducted themselves or not.
the loss could not be thrown on the bona fide creditors of
the company. In this case the court were of opinion, on
the evidence which had been submitted to them, that the
plaintiffs were bona fide holders of them notes and lenders
of the sums purported to be secured thereby, and therefore
that they were entitled to recover. Judgment must there-
fore be entered for the plaintiffs for principal and interest.
Judgment entered accordingly.
