ALLEGED LIBEL AND SLANDER.
Tha declaration contained three emette, the Brat for libel
eta two for slender. The deleadrit aria not guilty, and
a justification ; and, thirdly, that at and lame the time of
itemmitting the grievance complained of be was a Mare-
bolder of 100 shares in the oomptiy. The qualione for the
opinion of the court were—lndy, whether a company
toted under under the 19 and 20 Vie., o. 47 (the Joint-Stock Com-
panies' Aot), could maintain an action at all P and, second)y,
tf so, could the company maintain it against a shareholder P
Mr. Edwards, for the plaintiffs, contended that the com-
pany was to all intents and purposes a corporation, and that,
although the defendant was • shareholder, he wee in an
action of this kind a mere stranger.
Mr. Stammers, for the defendant, argued that such com-
panies were not corporations.
The court was of opinion that the plea was made out. This
was a tion to all intent. and purposes, to sue and be
sued; and if they were entitled to carry on a trade, it would
be menstrona if they could not bring an action for libel
wadi might injure that trade. As to the defendant being •
sbes•bolder, the bookie were full of cuss in which companies
seed the therabolders for calls; and, if they brought ea
scam for ono thing, they could for another.
Judgment accordingly.
