EQUITY COURTS.-SATrRDAT.

THI :411%* Ognu. OF Arita, IMO.

This tsei;g the day appointed for hearing claims under
the new orden, there were no less than 37 set down for
hearing, and the counsel and other persons interested in
them, as well as in learning the construltion which would
be pet upon the new orders, formed so large a conoourse of
pusses, that the curt was crowded before the learned judge
took his seat. There was also a larger attendance than
stud of the regietrare and officers of the court. Many of
the mom diapimed of would, in the ordinary course of busi-
ness, before the issuing of the new orders, have occupied
long periods of time in being brought to a hearing, and
would have ocessioced an expense of at least ten times the
cost incarred in bringing them tofu's the court under the
new practice. Some of them indeed involved properti of
too small amount to have enabled the parties intonate to
obtain relief in equity at all under the old system.

The *livid. is this case had been director, of the London
Conveynaos Company, by the deed of which the directors
were declared to be removable from their office for negli-
pose, miecooduet, or other reasonable ruse, the power of
removal being vested in the shareholders asessibled at a
general =sotto' called to the purpose. The plaintiffs bad
been removed from the direction by a resolution passed at a
meeting called a: the requisitton of the defendants, their co-
director.. The bill alleged that the meeting at which this
resolution bad been limed had not been duly convened ac-
cording to the provisions of the deed of settlement, that the
charges upon which the resolution was founded could not
b' substantiated, that the removal of the plaintiffs was ille-
gal, and that the
_plaintiffs wars consequently still directors
of the company. The bill preyed that the defendants might
be restrained until the plaintiff. shout.. have been lawfully
removed from their office of directors, or should have voinn-
tatrilv retired therefrom, from acting as directors, except in
purismce of a meeting of the board of directors, at which the
plaintiff's should have been present, or have been requred
so to be eceerding to the provisions of the company's deed.
A motion in the terms of the prayer of the bill was made
and espied is Eater Term lat. Jeddment np:n this mo-
tion has been delivered out to the parties, in which his
Honour states that the power of the court to interfere in the
way proposed depended upon the question whether the
terms of the partnership deed had been duly observed with
reference to the m-etiag in question or not. If the muting
at which the resolution complained of was passed was duly
convened, and the proceedings at such meeting regularly
unducted, the court could not sit as a court of appeal from
the decision of the meeting. The shareholders, however,
had a right to ail upon the court to entertain the question
whether the proceedings which terminated by the removal
of the plaintiffs were sack as the putsenhip deed required,
and, Hoot, to mutt the shareholders against such illegal
pro/coding,. He thought that a case for the interference
of the court had been made out on two grounds,
that statements had been made at the meeting
fust that the plaintiffs had been made acquainted with the
charges prepared against them, end had abstained from at-
tending the meeting with knowledge of thou charges; sad
secondly, that the plaintiffs had purchased certain shares
with money borrowed for the parries in contravention of
the parenevkip deed. Bub those statements were shown
by tie evidence to be unfounded, and might be held to have
ininessed the votes at the meeting. An order, therefore,
should he side in terms of the notice of motion, but such
Order would be without prejudice to the right of any share
Uhler to take such proceediage as he might be advised for
the purpose of removing say director; to which might be
added, by consent, an order that the plaintiffs be removed
from the office of directors, and proceedings be taken for
the election of other directors, in their stead, The whole
ceder might, however, be suspended, until an appeal which
had both set down to be heard beim the Lords' commis-
losers, should have been decided.
