THE FATAL ACCIDENT T(.) MR. PARKER, Q.C.

TIE

Yesterday Dr. Lankester opened en inquest at the-Mitre,
Craven-terrace, Hyde-park-gardens, on the body of Mr.
Kenyon Stephens Parker, late Q.C., and examiner at the
Court of Chancery, who met his death through being
knocked down and run over in Chancery-lane. Mr.
Henry Chas. Adamson Parker said—l am eon of deceased.
He was 77 years of age. He was a Q.C., and examiner
in the Court of Chancery. He was very strong and bale.
I heard of the accident at three o'clock last Thursday after-
noon. I did not hear him (deceased) say anything about
the accident. He had two wounds on the left side of the
head ; his right arm was broken ; and he had a wound in
his right thigh. He died from the injuries he had re-
ceived on Saturday last. He had not been ill previously.
It seems to me, from what I have heard, that
an omnibus driver was to blame. Mr. Charles
Otter, of Brent Lodge, Harwell—l am son-in-law
of deceased. I am an examiner in Chancery. About
half -past 1 last Thursday he came into my office in Chan-
cery-lane and told me he was going to his son's chambers
' in New-square, Lincoln's-inn. I said if he would wait
there ten minutes I would join him. A few minutes
afterwards I went downstairs and was told that Mr.
Parker bad met with an accident. I found him seated in
a cab in Chancery-lane bleeding from the head. I took
him to King's College Hospital, where he was attended
to in every possible way. He was seen by Sir William
Fer„;-uson. Dr. Priestly very kindly lent his carriage for
i the purpose, and deceased was placed in it on a mattress
; and conveyed home, where he died. I did not have any
conversation with him about the accident. The Coroner
said he had merely opened the inquiry so as to be enabled to
I order the burial of the body, which was in an advanced
state of decomposition. He would adjourn the inquiry at
that stage in order that evidence might be gathered,
and the case fully gone into. The inquiry was then ad-
journed.

MANSION-HOUSE.
• TheUnivereal Consolidated Banking Company (Limited),
whir& carries on its business in Cheapaide, was summoned
for refusing to deliver a copy of its list of shareholders and
the amount of capital subscribed, upon application to that
effect having been made to them. The summons was
issued under the 37th emotion of the Joint-Stock Com-
panies Registration Act, which directs that it shall be
lawful for a magistrate to inflict a penalty of 21. for every
day upon which the alleged default shall have been made!
Mr. Wontner said he appeared in support of the present
summons, which was instituted for the purpose of carrying
out the very wholesome provisions of an act of parliament
called the " Joint-Stock Companies' Registration Act," the
object of which was to enable the publio to have an op-
portunity of examining the register of shareholders, and
to ascertain the actual amount of capital that had been
subscribed, and thus put a check to the proceedings of
bubble companies, and prevent them from de-
frauding the public. The complainant was a pro-
fessional gentleman, one of whose friends or clients
had an interest in the Universal Banking Corporation,
who were the defendants, but as the latter did not feel
inclined for private reasons to put himself forward in the
matter, the complainant, in the interest of the public,
had felt it his duty to do so, and after an examination of
the affairs of the company, had thought it right to insti-
tute the present proceedings. Mr. Wontner then pro-
ceeded to state that by the prospectus of the Universal
Banking Corporation (Limited), the capital was stated to
be 2,0 IW,OOO/. in 20,000 shares of 101. each, upon which
2/. 10s. had been called up.
Mr. Smith objected to these details being gone into. He
said he was there on behalf of the company to meet a spe-
cific charge, which was that of refusing to deliver a copy
of the list of shareholders, and he submitted that the court
had no right to enter into any other questions.
Alderman Blenhi said it appeared to him tha Mr.
Wontner was perfectly justified in placing before hint , the
circumstances connected with the company, and the terms
upon which it was placed before the public.
Mr. Wontner then proceeded to state that the capital
of the company was represented to be 2,000,0001., upon
which 2/.los. per share had been paid,l/. ss. upon application,
and 11. ss. on allotment, on the whole of the 20,000 shares,
but upon examining the register it was found that
the whole number of shares that had been taken
was only 6,340, on which about 10,0001. bad been
paid, but 5,000 of these shares, it appeared by the register,
had been allotted to the directors, and the word " can-
celled " was written against the whole of those 5,000 shares,
so that the company appeared to be carrying on its business
with only about 1,500 shares issued, on which something
like 2,000/. had been paid, which constituted the whole of
their capital; and he could not help saying that it was
most irrational for any banking company to hold out to the
public that they were carrying on a safe business under
such circumstances. Having ascertained the state of
things as disclosed upon the register of the company, the
complainant applied for a copy of it, but he was
unable to obtain it. He was put off from time to
time, and in point of fact he could not obtain a copy of
the document, and it was not until the present summons
had been served upon the secretary that a copy was left
at his office. Upon an examination of this supposed copy,
however, the complainant discovered that it was to:ally at
variance in many essential particulars with the entries in
the register at the offices of the company,and that in point
of fact it gave no information whatever so far as regarded
the actual condition of the company, and the complainant,
therefore, determined to persevere in the matter on behalf
of the public.
Mr. R. Spyer, the chief clerk in the Joint-Stock Com-
panies Registration Office, produced the register containing
the terms of the original registration of the Universal
Banking Corporation. It appeared that the original
intention was to ster under the title of Challis's
Baulking Company. The capital of that company was to
have been 20,0001., but under the new title of the
Universal Banking Corporation (Limited) notice appeared
to have been given of an intention to raise the capital to
1,900,000/., which was proposed to be raised by 190,000
shares of 10/. each.
Mr. Smith again interposed, and said be should really
submit that this had nothing whatever to do with the real
question at Issue. The only thing to be decided was
whether the company had disobeyed the provision of the
act of parliament, which required them to supply a copy
of their list of shareholders.
Mr. Wontner said that a discretion was vested in the
magistrate as to the amount of penalty that should be in-
flicted in case of a conviction taking place, and it was
most important in reference to that question that it should
be shown that there was an object to deceive the public.
The capital of the company was represented to be two
minions, when in point of fact it did not amount to as
many thousands.
Mr. Smith said that there were other tribunals specially
appointed under the act of parliament to take cognisance
of the matter referred to by Mr. Wontner, and the course
of proceeding that was now adopted was only a subterfuge,
to bring the affairs of the company before the public. He
was only there on behalf of the company to meet a specific

charge.
Alderman Mechi said that in a case of this sort he was
entitled to be informed of all the surrounding circum-
stances that bore upon the inquiry.
Mr. Bpyer then proceeded to state that it appeared by
the register that 6,430 shares had been taken, upon which
a stun of 8,3911. 10s. had been paid.
Mr. C. Hervey, the gentleman at whose instance the
summons had been obtained, was then examined. He de-
posed that on the 24th of May he applied at the offices of
the company, in Cheapside, to be permitted to inspect the
register of shareholders. He first saw the manager and
secretary of the company, Mr. Vernon Richards, and he
referred him to a clerk who had the charge of the register,
and he showed it to him and he inspected it. He wrote
to the secretary asking for a copy of the register, and went
on the 25th to the othce for the purpose of obtaining it,
but he was told by Mr. Richards that the copy was not
ready, and that it had not been made out. Witness
expressed his surprise at the delay, and pressed
him to let him have it, and Mr. Richards
told the clerk to have it ready the next day. He went
again to the office on the 29th, and was still told Out it
was not ready. He remonstrated with the clerk, and said
that itwas too bad, and that he should call again on the
following day, and he was then told that it would not
be ready until the evening, and that he could not have
it until the manager had seen it. Witness went again
to the office on the 30th, and he was then told that a
clerk had gone with the document to his office, and he
went there and waited until two o'clock, and, believing
that the company did not intend to let him have a copy
he applied at this court for a summons. The witness
went on to state that he found a copy of the register at
his office on Saturday last, after the summons had been
served upon the company. Here he produced it.
Alderman Mechi, having looked at the document, ob-
served that it was not a very long one, and it might easily
have been written by a clerk in three or four hours.
The complainant then stated that on Monday he went to
the office of the company, and compared the supposed copy
that had been sent hint with the register, and found that
the number of shares and the amounts paid did not tally.
and the document that had been furnished to him was
certainly not a copy of the register. Instead of 6,340
shares having been issued, there were only 1,340, the word
" cancelled" being written in red ink in the register at
the office against 5,000 shares. He asked the clerk what
was meant by this word being written, and he said he was
merely told to write it, and he knew nothing more about
the matter.
In cross-examination, the witness said that in on sens
the document that was sent to him might be said to give
more information than was oontained in the register, be-
cause it contained names of shareholders, and accounts
that were not in the register, but it certainly was not a
copy of that document. He said that he did not take any
special interest in the affairs of this company in particular,
but he saw the names of several persons who were friends
of his upon the register, and he felt it right, on that ac-
count, to obtain information as to the stability of the com-
pany. He certainly had no intention of becoming a share-
holder in the company, at all events while it was
in its present
.position. (A. laugh.) He said that
in the first instance Mr. Richards seemed to
think that he had no right to look at the re-
gister of shareholders. The witness, in further cross
examination, denied that he had examined the register of
any other banking corporation, and said that, in the first
instance, he went to this bank upon business in reference
to a bill of exchange which should have been accepted by
one of the directors, and he took the opportunity while he
was there of examining the register. The copy was never
refused him, but he was put off from day to day. He was
not aware that the manager had been unable to attend at
the bank in consequence of illness, and, in point of fact,
he saw him every day he went. (A laugh.) The summons
against the company, he believed, was served on the Ist
instant, and the copy he bad produced was at his office
within twenty minutes afterwards.
Mr. Smith urged that there had been no refusal to fur-
nish the document, and he said that there was clearly
never any intention to do so, from the fact that the docu-
ment had actually been sent to the complainant. In con-
clusion, he said that if the alderman should consider the
case made out, he should ask that he would deal mercifully
in reference to the question of the amount of fine, on the
ground that, although the company might have acted wit'
negligence, they had, not wilfully infringed the law.
Alderman Mechi said that he considered the question
one of very considerable public importance. The legislature
had provided that every publicity should be given to the
proceedings connected with important institutions such as
joint-stock banking companies, and in the present instance
he was clearly of opinion that the defendants had violated
the law, and had not complied with the terms of the act of
parliament. He therefore felt it to be his duty to inflict a
fine of 2!. for each day upon which there had been a re-
fusal to supply the copy of the register, amounting to 6/.,
and the costa, but he should express no opinion upon the
other circumstances of the case, which would speak for
themselves.

stream, her engines were stopped for the purpose of get-

explosion rendered the vessel a complete wreck, and she
sunk almost immediately after the explosion.
