This was an application to the mart on behalf of Mr.
Johnson, for an order to news his name from the list of
contributories to the above-limed company. It
that Mr. Johnson had bean applied te to beanie appeared
of the company, and had cosminbul el act in that capacity
if he was ters• "fellygniff up" shares, the proper
qualification for the of a ftienWr being hie tenure
of twenty shares in the anipmq. Accordingly, on the
23rd November, _lBll6, • mesimilen of the compaity was
passed, and emfirmW. on the ith December following, by
which Yr. Johnson was appekked • direetor. He then
applied to the secretary of the company for the twenty
.bares; and, as be said, the farm of the had
at the head of it the words, "fluffy up dares."
Those words, however, were in the ap-
plication by some one, not Mr. Johnson, and
was in • different handwriliNg to the rest of the
form. That was merely • regard in the wary shape
for the requisite glares ; and an imderteldsg en the part
of the applicant to become a shersholder in the company,
and to pay for the shares. Mr. Johnson said he had no
intimation that his application for the fully paid-up
shares had been acceded -to ; but, on the 12th January,
1866, he attended • meeting of the company. On the
20th July, 1866, an order was made to wind up the com-
pany ; and in the course of the proceedings thereunder,
Mr. Johnson discovered that the company had, on the
23rd January, 1868, credited him in their bankers' books
with the payment to the company of 2001., the price of
the twenty shares, necessary to qualify him to act an •
director. Under those circumstances the official liqui-
dator had placed the name of Mr. Johnson on the list of

Q.C., and Mr. Graham Hastings ap-
peared for Mr. Johnson, and contended that as he had
never had twenty fully paid up sharee—tor which alone he
had stipulated—allotted to him—nor, in fact, himself paid
the 2001.—thers was no contract, on his part, binding on
him. He was not a shareholder in the company; and,
moreover, the company could not allot him such shares
u he had asked for.
Mr. Greene, Q.C., and Mr. Craclmall were for the offi-
cial liquidator ; end Mr. T. Stevens for other parties.
The Vice-Chancellor said the question whether Mr.
Johnson's name was properly placed on the list of con-
tributories, depended on the form of his application for
the twenty shares. His Honour thought that it was
clearly an application for "twenty shares," and the
words at the head of it did not altar it. Mr. Johnson's
name was thereto» properly placed, and most now be
retained, on the list of contributories, and he mud pay the
costs of that application.

Yr. Glasse and Mr. North applied that the claim of
6461. by Captain Molyneux against the bank might be

them was paid to the credit of the present claimant, in
whose favour there wee a balance of 6461. at the date of
the etoppage of the bank. To this sum he claimed to be
entitkk and it was contended on his behalf that the only
piteous liable to be put upon the list of contributories
were the thirteen

submitted that the whole of the WR dividend was included
in the amount chinned, and the chief clerk had allowed •

The Vice.Clianosnor held that the bank could not have
the IVA aoMke back the rents which they had virtu-
ally paid, sod, as gm as they were concerned, it uumte no
difiersmor that Captain Mayne= bad an interest in the
shares. The claim must be allowed.
