LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Maraca 23.

REAL DEL MONTE MlNE.—KrxDxst v. TAYLOR.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took hisseat on the bench, and
was attended by Lord Lauderdale, who sat on his right hand
during the discussion of this case.
Mr. SHADWELL said it was right for him to Inform his
Lordship, as Counsel for the defendant, that since this
case had been before his Lordship, the defendant had been
advised to file a demurrer on two grounds—the one a
general ground for want of equity, and the other for want
of parties. Ile was quite sure, when his Lordship heard
the statement the Counsel had to make, he would be sa-
tified justice could not be done without having before the
Court the persons who formed the Company. It would be
recollected that Mr. Kinder had prayed the dissolution of-
the Company—that was a prayer striking at the rights
of all the parties. There was nothing in the terms of the deed •
which had been made the subject of his Lordship's comment,
giving the power of such dissolution to the Court ; there was no
stipulation to that effect. It was alleged by the Bill that the
plaintiff did not know who the persons were who constituted
this partnership. He apprehended that every allegation in the •
Bill must he taken with regard to the circumstances of the case;
and if it appeared from the very nature of the case Mr. Kinder
must have known—
The LORD CHANCELLOR, interrupting the Learned Coun-
sel, asked him whether he had not better give him a statement
of what the bill contained ?
Mr. BICRERSTETH then opened the bill, by stating, sn
detail, the names of the parties and the prayer, the general
scope of which was, that the contract entered into by the de-
fendants, for the disunion of the Real del Monte Mine from
the other Mines belonging to the original Company, might
he declared void ; that the defendant Taylor, and the other
defendants, might be ordered to assign such shares in the
Del Monte Mine as the plaintiff was entitled to; that the
attempt to deprive the plaintiff of his share might be considered.
as fraudulent, and contrary to good faith ; and that, if neces-
sary, the Real del Monte Company might be dissolved.
Mr. WALKER said, he understood a demurrer was put in,
bat he did not know whether his Lordship would go on with the
demurer in the first instance.
The LORD CHANCELLOR repeated that lie wanted to have
the bill stated.
The SOLICIToiI-GICNERAL said, lie knew nothing of the
demurrer. He had no doubt he should satisfy his
.Lordship
that this company was not within the operation of the statute of
6th George I.
Mr. SHADWELL observed, that notice had been given, a de-
murrer would be filed.
The LOUD CHANCELLOR was of opinion the demurrer
might be material on the argument for the injunction ; for one
question was, whether, if this was a Company to wich the
Court could not apply the law, such an objection would not be
an answer to any argument in favour of its validity.
Mr. SuonEN stated, that this would be found to be pre,
cisely such a case as that of the Life Assurance Company.
His Lordship, in that case, had heard the demurrer first, and
had never heard the argument. If the same course was
pursued upon the present occasion, no question but it would
lead to the same conclusion.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said it would be the better way
to state the demurrer.
Mr. HEALD remarked that lie could not consent to take that
course.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Then go on with the motion.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the first and most material
point for which he had to contend was, that this was a Com-
pany which did not fall within the provisions of the 6th Geo. 1..
The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated that, although that
was one point, it did not therefore follow that this was an Asso-
ciation that would be maintained.
The SOLICIToR-GENERAL then proceeded to state the facts
of the case as they were alleged in the Bill.
The Loan CHANCELLOR desired that previous to his going
generally into the subject, to know how many shareholders
there were, and what was the nature of the contracts referred to
in the deed settled between these parties.
Mr. SHADWELL said, there were 122 shareholders, that these
were 500 shares, of which 498 had been disposed of—two share&
having been reserved for a particular purpose.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that the copy of the
deed which had been handed up to him, afforded him no infor-
mation as to the names of the persons who had signed the deed...
The words in the copy were, we whose names are hereunder.
written," but as the names were not enumerated in the copy he
had, it would be necessary lie should see the original.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL hoped every thing would have
been furnished his Lordship which would have been considered
necessary. His statement with reference to the deed would be-•
infinitely more compendious on account of his Lotdship having
himself carefully perused and considered its contents. The learn-
ed Solicitor then entered fully into his argument upon the case
he had to present on the part of the plaintiff. In contending
that this Society was so constituted as to be excluded from the
stat. 6 Geo I. or Bubble Act, he cited a number of cases, and
argued the question of law applicable to the subject, in a man-
ner too diffuse to make it possible to do justice to his arguments
without giving the whole of them, and it is for this reason we
shall continue to pursue that course with which we noticed
the commencement of this proceeding on a former day, by re-
serving ourselves for a compressed, plain, and distinct view of
the arguments of Counsel generally, adding to such statement
a complete report of the judgment and opinion of the Lord
Chancellor.
The Learned Solicitor continued his argument till between
twelve and one o'clock, when the further hearing was adjourned
in consequence of his Lordship having to attend to hear the Re-
,3 corder's Report.
