The petitioner, a captain in the Indian army, married the
respondent in October, 1845. She was at that time a Mir
Robinson. There had been two children of the union. The
cohabitation lasted till 1853, when Mrs. Need returned to
England, on account of her delicate state of health. She
brought her daughter home with her, and they
lived with her mother-in-law, the widow of General
Need, for several year. Afterwards the respon-
dent went to reside in Boulogne, where she became
acquainted with the co-respoodent. It was not slated who
this was, but he appeared to be a person in difficulties. In
and the following year he was in gaol for debt, and it
was proved that he was daily visited in the prison by the
respondent. When he came out, which was in August,
1859, he lived with Mrs. Need at her lodgings in Boulogne

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goalburn.)
IN RR THE GMAT NORTHMAN AND MIDLAND COAL COMPANY

(warren).
This was the adjournedsitting for settling the list of contri-
butories. They areabout 70 in number ; • great proportion of
them have already been placed on the list, but some disputed
cases had been reeerved lor °onside ration at the present sitting.
Amongst others, the directors, eight in number, disputed
their liability to be placed on the list for 100 shares each,
the number required by the articles of the company to be
held by each director, and contended that they were only
liable for 21 shares each, the number they had actually
subscribed for. The liabilities of the company are only
some 7001. or 8001. ; but a call will be nionnary for the
whole of the amount unpaid on the 101. shares.
Mr. Roxburgh appeared for the of liquidator.
His Honour, referring to what had taken plios at a former
sitting, asked how those parties would be affected who had
accepted paid-up shares. In a case before Mr. Commissioner
Evans, that' of the Utiadulterated Food Company, it bad
been held by that learned comtniseioner that the parties
holding those shares were liable to pay the full amount. He
wished to know whether that decision had been upheld.
Mr. Roxburgh said that was so ; and the ground of deci-
sion was that the accepting of paid-up shares by directors
was a breach of trust towards the company. They were
supposed to have paid 101. on each of the shares, when in
reality they had paid nothing.
The only ease discussed was that of Mr. R. B.dieza , of
Queen's-gardens. Bayswater, a director. It was that
he had attended the meetings of the board, and appro-
priated two shame in lieu of his fees of 12 guineas for at-
tendance.
No one appearing in his behalf, he was placed on the UM.
His Honour reserved his judgment with regard to the
general question of the directors liability for 100 shares each.
