HOUSE OF LoltuS —O.'HIS DAY.)
Their Lordships eat this morning,. to heir appeals.
Thil Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord
Brougham, the E trl of Durham, and Lord Foley.
E TUE TRUSTEES OF DUNDEE HARBOUR V DOUGALL.
This was an appeal from the decision of the L ourt of
Session of Scotland. It appeared that in this case three
actions had been raised to decide the extent of the rights
of the appellants, who are the trustees of the harbour
of Dundee. The respondent is the proprietor of an es-
'•`tate situated on the south side of the Tay, near the
village of Ferry Porton Crag, and the app+•llants con-
- tended that village came de facto within the limits of the
harbour of Dundee; while, on the other hand, the re-
spondent denied that the appellants had any right to
levy dues at the village of Porton Crag or along the
south side of the river.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL proceeded with his reply
this morning.

;CHANCERY DAY.)
(Before the LOADS JUSTICES.)
KENT v. JACKSON.
. 'This appeal, which was partially opened on Friday,
"was continued this morning.
In May, 1845, the Charlerni and Erquelines Railway
Company was establish, d in Belgium as a " Soct6.6
njine, ' by a royal concession, and certain articles were
drawn up, and subsequently sanctioned by a royal ordi•
naace, fur the regulation of its affairs. By these Intl-
: : , Asks it was provided that the seat of the company should
" ' .be fixed at Brussels; that a general meeting should be
held half-yearly, which should represent the whole
4;7 rtbody of shareholders, and take cognisance of the cc-
61ebouts of the directors; that the approval at such meet-
'"'ing should completely discharge the directors; and that
the deliberations of the general meeting should bind the
company. By another article, Jackson, Graham, and
others were appointed directors, Jackson and Grabem
t• being the acting English directors. A considerable
number of shares were allotted in England, and de-
posts to the amount of 12,680/. were pid into the bank
• 'of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co., to the joint account
• of Jackson and Graham. Differences subsequent!)
arose between the English and Belgian directors, and
on the 261 October, 1845, Jackson and Graham sent
in their resignations, which were soon after accepted.
In November, 1845, a circular was sent by Jackson and
Graham to the English allottees, giving them the op-
tion either of taking scrip in exchange for the bankers'
receipts, or of having the amount of their deposits re-
turnt d to them without interest. A great number of
the allottees availed themselves of the option, and re-
twitted back their deposits to the amount of 8,2801. Jack-
lite and Graham paid these out of the 12.5801., by
—cheques on the bauktra. On ale 34 of June, 1848, John
King Kent, the plaintiff in the present suit, purchased
• ten shares in the company, end on the 24th of June fol-
lowing filed his bill on behalf of himself and the other
shareholders of the company, against Jackson, the assig-
nees of Graham. and the c,,mmittee of management,
Who were out of the jurisdiction. The object of the
Wit was to recover, for the behefit of the company, from
the defendants, the 8,2801. returned to the English
allottees. It was insisted by Jackson, the principal de-
fendant, that the act of the English directors had been
approved by the committee of management, to whom the
balance of the deposits, after deducting the 8.2801., had
been paid over, and that the shareholders were bound
bY, this approval. The cause was beard by the Master
. Of the Bolls, in July, 1851, and his Honour dismissed
the Bill. From this decision the plaintiff appealed.
Mr. Wli.c CKS was beard this morning fur the de-
fendant Jackson.
The business before the other Courts was not of suffi-
cient importance to call for a report.
