THE A'T'TORNEY-GENERALS OPINION.

" lst.—lt does not appear fron► the above statement, or the
prospectus, that the directors possessed any authority to alter
either the amount of the capital, or the number of shares, or,
in fact, to do any thing until the whole number of shares were
purchased, and the capital subscribed. I think the subscribers
are not liable for the payment of the further sum of 21. per
share in the present state of the Association. Indeed, it does
not appear that the directors have any authority to make a call
for further payment; their authority in this respect would de-
pend upon the terms of the association, which do not appear
to have hPen settled.

" 2d—l hink, upon the .above statement, the directors had
no :Authority to make any of these payments.
" 3d—l think any shareholder may withdraw from the as-
sociation if he thinks proper ; but he cannot maintain an ac-
ti.n for money had and received against the directors who ere-
ceived the deposit. I think this money can only be recovered
(if at all) in a court of equity. If the party wishing for the
return knew that the directors were laying out the subscrip-
tions in the purchase of mines, &c., and did not in any way
interfere to prevent it, either by remonstrance or otherwise,
they will not, I think, be entitled to insist upon the return.
" 4th.—For any misapplication of the funds those indivi-
duals who have authorized such misapplication will be re-
sponsible : but they can he called to account only in a court of
equity. If they have improperly withheld the 4,000 shares,
they would be liable in respect of arty injury the Association
may have thereby sustained. I think, if they continue direc-
tors, they may he compelled to carry on the establishment up-
on its original footing. But there would be very great diffi-
culties in the way of any proceeding in a court of justice,
arising out of any association of that nature.

THE SOLICITOR-GENF:HM.9g OPINION.

" Ist.—l am of opinion that the subscribers -w1;o have paid
their deposit of 5 per cent. could not be compelled to pay the
additional instalment of 21. per share.
" 2d.—l see no grounds upon which the Directors could
$ nume a power to divert and apply the money in their hands,
paid in by the subscribers, to either of these purposes ; and I
conceive that neither of these sums could he allowed as matter
of discharge, being payments made without authority.
" apprehend that the subscribers would not he able,
by any action, to recover back their deposits. But I think
that the subscribers, by a bill in Chancery, by, or in the
names of all, might require the Directors to account, and pay
back their deposits, upon the ground that the Association, un-
der all circumstances, must be considered as virtually at an
end, and incapable of being proceeded with. I further think
that the Court of Chancery would not, by any decree, enforce or
compel the establishment of the association. Upon the whole,
the relief which the subscribers have, is to meet the case (as in
substance is) as one in which probably the project cannot be
carried into effect, and consequently that the directors must
account and pay back the deposits.
" Lincoln's-inn, Nov. 22. " C. WETHERELL."
Mr. CLARK arraigned the conduct of the directors, am/
complained in the strongest terms of their having embarked in
large mining speculations upon the strength of the deposits
partially paid on the shares, without waiting to ascertain whe-
ther the original capital could be raised to pursue the larger ob-
ject. He also said, that although 6,000 shares were only is-
sued, according to the report of the directors, yet that a friend
held shares which were numbered from 7251 to 7235. (Another

lowing extracts :

" ROME, Nov. 10.

" A letter just received from Corfu, dated 21st
October, says—' It is reported that the Greek
fleet of fifty-five vessels, and a large number
of gun-boats under the orders of the Admirals
Mantis, Sachturos, and Canaris, fell in with the
Turco-Egyptienne, a short distance from Alex-
andria, and after a bloody conflict, in which the
barbarians lost a great number of their ships taken
or burnt, they were entirely dispersed.'
TRI ESTE, Nov. 6.

" According to letters from the Levant, the
Chevalier Accurtis, Commander of the Austrian
fleet, has received orders from his Government
to oppose, in every way, the right of search.
ins Austrian vessels claimed by Greece, and to
prevent as much as possible any infraction of the
right of neutrals. M.Rigny, the French Admiral
has received similar orders from his Government,
and also to co-operate with Austria in repressing
the piracies committed by Greek vessels. It is go-
nerally thought that other European Governments
will take similar steps. A Turk has brought to
Suda the news that the Turco-Egyptian fleet had
just arrived there, and would remain some time.
It is now confidently said, that the fleet has
set sail, and was last heard of off Rhodes.—
The Greeks have also collected together all
their disposable marine force, and are determined
to attack their enemies on the first favourable

opportunity.
" Ibrahim is near the coast in anxious expec-
tation of news from Candia, which he has been de-
siring some time. But perceiving that his retreat
to Tripolizza was threatened, he quitted Laconia
and returned in order to open communications
with Navarino by Leondari. Intelligence has
reached him of the expected speedy arrival of
his reinforcements.

" We know for certain, that if any negotia-
tions were going forward between Ibrahim and
Colocotroni, they are now entirely broken off, RD a

for the
t hat the later is fully determined to fight
independence of Greece. Ile has lately re
es
considerable sums of money, which he disburse,
in augmenting his troops, a thing easily
the
eel, since Ibrahim is generally detested for
pillage and excesses of his troops.
