that by its origina's constitution all the membela
entered into a mutual covenant to laden/say each

ally covenanted net to do any act, or engage rn trey
concern by which that Society could be prejuilited.i,
—Now he contended that the Defendants wereilt;.

and althoegl► a great many members of the old
Society might think the Defetbdass4 were doing'
what would be beneficial to them, the
were of a different opinion, sod preferred the'Se-
ciety in its original state, and he contended find
without the concurrence of *lna Plaintiffs the new

scheme should not be suffered tows forward.
Mr. GLYN followed on the woe Ode.
The LORD CDANCRLLOR istiotleted • doubt
whether the Plaintiffs could seeceeskaill tkt. appb-
--wation, upon rettb
Mr. Hart,- the Defendant'. midi tenter whet
had fallen front klis Lordship, he knew not that it
would be needful for him to Demo the tune of the
Court ; but
The Loan ComsermLos. am* " I shall cer-
tainly. Mr. Hart, Irene the Defendants' Counsel.
The Plaintiffs lotold have had no pretence for
coining orto • Opii.our Equity if they had not put
an allegation of fraud iu the proceedistga. roam
fraud has been alleged against the Deleuilanta, 1
'hall not shut up the cast without snowing the facts
• on their part to be elated.
Mr. HART then stated the coSieettibith had been
pursued by the Defendants (who mere Gentlemen
of greet respecnibility and fortune), clawing that
cOnsiderelde'perns had beeri /akin to 'Splint the
new system by means of the numerous agents of
the Society and otherwise ; and from many Ai-
which had beau put its, it appeared that the
Members of the Society very generally approved
of the alterotions and had readily effected their
insurances ondvr them.
Mr. WETtitegu. followed on the same side,
and observed that the Society. ix its improved
state, was just as much a new society as wine
poured out of one bottle into another was a or*
bottle of wine. This Society was emptying itself
out of an old and infirm coos:outgun into a new and
improved one.
The LORD CHIANCRLI.OR—" But what Mr.
Shailwell says is, that his clients are content with
their bottle of wine, and think it very good, and
that you are spoiling it."
Me. WRTURRII.I.—" I know he says so. my
Lord, but we shall see by and by whether your
Lordship is of that opinion."
Mr. BICURSTETH (who was also for the De.
fendants) stated a variety of Inns from affidavits,
for the purpose of proving that 'to fraud or de-
lusion whatever bad been attempted by the De-
fendants. '' • • -
The LORD CRANCRLLOR entered very fully into
the history of inference companies, and of their 1%-
1 rious disabilities, and of the applications they had
made from time to time to the Govrrnnient and to
ParliaMent for protection and assistance. Hr re-
marked on the defects of the old constitution of
this society, and soid that the Plaints& could
hive no right to the rumroary interference they were
l'oo* seeking to obtain. He also observed that
the Plnititiffs must have various difficulties to en.
counter itr bringing the affair. of the Society before
the Court. Hr expressed his doubt whether it was
a case in which the Court would interfere, eves' if
the cause was to he finally heard upon its merits,
cod concluded by reinarkiiig, that although he did
hot pretend to be deeply versed in insurance busi-
ness', of this lie had no doubt, that the addition of a
capital of 550,000 r. must be a prodigious improve-
ment of the concern.
Motion fur the injunction dismissed with costs.
