Lord Cramer* said the oaly doubt is this ere wee se to

menentiki Whirs which he did not under-
stand. He ht, therefore, that there should be an
Roue divested to the court of law to ascertain this
fact, and aim to ascertain whether these gentlemen
were liable for any of the expenses which had been incurred
previously or subsequently to the acceptance of shares, and
also whether they were liable to any of the debts of the
e Urnliesburgh objected to the issue, as the only point
raised here was whether or not these gentlemen had ac-
cepted shares and were liable to be placed on the list of con-
tributories. Tbs issue now suggested by his lordship would
lead to great expenses being incurred, which he did not
suppose the official manager would feel himself justified in
entering upon. He supposed the real object the court had
in view was to obtain a decision from the court of law as to
the validity of the case of Upfill, as decided by Lord
Brougham In the House of Lords.
Lord Cranworth said it was true he entertained great
doubts as to whether the decision in IJpfill's case could be
carried out, and he believed that most people agreed with
him in this view. The issue he had directed would try
the question, and staler it was submitted to, these names
must be struck off the list of contributories.
After some further discussion, it was agreed that the
case should stand over, to ascertain whether the official
manager would consent to the issue being tried.

or Simass.

A question with re;pecttothe same railway so the
above wee raised in the case of Mr. Hunter, who, in an-
swer to the application whether he would take shares, had
answered that he would accept the shares which had been
"apportioned" to him.
Mr. Shapter, in support of a motion to strike out Mr.
Hunter's name from the list of contributories, contended
that the word " apportioned" had a different meaning from
the word " allotted," and that this ease was, therefore, dif
&rent from that of COWL
Mr. Roxburgh opposed the motion.
Lord Crunworth said he could see no difference between
the words—they evidently had the same meaning in the
minds of the persons accepting the shares. The motion
must, therefore be dismissed.
WILLIANS O. TNII SHANITSBraT AND BIAXINONAN
RAILWAT CONFANT.—INJUNCTION TO RASTA/AN A
MATTING ON TUE 8t II INST. RIFUSED.

This was a motion on behalf of two gentlemen named
Williams and Bower, for an injunction to restrain the above
company from holding a meeting on the Bth inst., and
from removing the books containing the addressee of the
shareholders from the offices at Wolverton. The facts in
this we were the same as those in the case of the Bir-
mingham and Shrewsbury Railway Company v. Clore, and
already reported in the Kspreas.
Mr. Prior appeared in support of the motion. The evi-
dence alleged that the directors were using endeavours to
obtain proxies from the shareholders in order to support, at
a meeting advertised for the Bth inst., their own views,
which were contrary to the opinions of the majority of the
shareholders, and that the plaintiffs had been prevented
from seeing the shareholders' address book, so that they
could not communicate with the other members of the com-
pany or explain to them the intentions of the directors. On
these grounds it was contended that the court ought to re-
strain the company from holding the meeting.
Mr. Stuart, Mr. Bethell, Mr. Mains' Mr. Follett, Mr.
Hardy, and iir. Oiffard were also counsel in the case.
Lord Cralemth said this meeting had been legally eon-
vened by the directors, and notice of it had been given to
all the shareholders, who might naturally be expected to
have made their arrangements to come from different parts
of the country to attend it. The plaintiffs, who were only
two of the shareholders, now wished to restrain the meeting
on the ground that they had not been allowed to see the ad-
dress books so as to write to the shareholders and obtain
proxies for the purpose of defeating the objects of the di-
rectors. lie did not think there was any ground for the
motion. It was certainly right that the plaintiffs should
he allowed inspection of the books, but the evidence upon
this head seemed to be rather contradictory, and under
the circumstances be should refuse the motion with costs.
