VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE- CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
MOSELEY V. ALSTON —THE OXFORD AND BIRMINGHAM
JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.
THE LOND, N AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY
St. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
This case came before his Ilonouf by special appoint-
ment to-day, upon a demurrer put in by the defendants,
to the bill filed by the plaintiffs.
Sir Fitzroy Kills, Mr. Stuart, Mr. Rah, and Mr. G.
Russell, appeared in support of the detnurrar; and Mi.
Bethell, Mr. James Parker, a;,,l Mr. Wilcox, wers
counsel for the plaintiffs in the eaustS.
The bill was filed by the plaintiff Mr. Moseley, and
three other shareholders in the Oxford and Birmingham
Junction Railway Company, against the defendants,
who are the acting directors Of that company, and
against the company itself, for the purpose of obtaining
an injunction against the def, ndants, or any of them, ta
restrain them from acting as directors ; and also for the
purpose of having the common seal of the company de-
livered up to certain persons whom the bill stated to be
the lawful directors of the company. To this bill the
demurrer was put in which now came on for argument.
The bill tiled by the plaintiffs raised the important
question, whether, at a certain time alluded to, accord
ing to the provisions of the Act under which the Ox-
ford and Birmingham Junctioh Railway was formed, it
was necessary chat a es rtain number of directors should
go out by rotation and be succeeded by others. The
Act of Parliament for the incorporation of the arming-
ham and Oxford Junction Railway was passed on the
3d of August, 1846, and by that Act a certain number
of directors (twelve) were to be appointed, who were to
remain as directors until they were displaced, and suc-
ceeded by others. There were alit) 'Provisions in the Bill
for meetings, at which the shareholders could either
continue the directors, or remove some of them and sub-
stitute others in their place. It appeare'd, according to
the statements in the Bill, that a meeting was held, pur-
suant to notice, on. the 31st of October last, at which
several of the directors were continued as directors, and
others retired, but at that meeting the number of twelve
was appointed. Another meeting was then held
on the 27th of February, in the present year,
which was continued by adjournment to a sub-
sequent day, and it was contended by the bill
that at that meeting a certain number of the directors
ought to have gone out by rotation. No going out of
directors took place, and the twelve gentlemen that had
been previously appointed continued to be directors, and
under the power contained in the Act six new directors
were elected and added to the 12 by the party with whom
the four plaintiff's were connected. It further appeared
that in pursuance of certain clauses in the special Act
of the company, which enabled it to amalgamate with
the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Railway
Company, a Bill had been introduced into the
House of Commons for effecting this amalgamation.
The complaint contained in the bill was that at the
meeting which was held on the 27th of February in the
present year, four of the directors ought to have gone
out by rotation, and have been succeeded by four others,
and that such an arrangement not having taken place,
the bill prayed an injunction restraining the directors
from acting.
Sir FITZROY KELLY, in support of the demurrer put
in to the bill of the plaintiffs, submitted, at great length,
that such a bill could not be sustained. The plaintiffs
in that bill did not sue for , themselves and all
others, the rest of the company, neither did they sue
on behalf of the company, but merely in their own names
and against the company of which they formed part.
If this bill was maintained, he did not see why a similar
bill should not be tiled by every member of the company.
The Learned Counsel, in support of this proposition,
cited the cases of Foss v. Ilarbottle, decided by the
Vice-Chancellor Wigram, and, the Attorney General
v. Wilson, decided by the preAent Lord Chancellor.
If these directors were unwilling to exercise
their functions, the company an ample re-
medy in their own hands. The company might
institute a suit in their own persons, though the
corporate seal might be in the hands of seine
particular persons. The Act which established
this was the Bth and 9th `of Victoria. The
70th section of that Act provided that a certain number
of shareholders might at any time, by writing under
their hands, require their directors to call a special
meeting. The Learned Counsel here cited the 74th sec-
tion of the Act, and continued : —Therefore it was quite
evident that a meeting called fur the appointment of
directors, or any other purpose, would hare effected all
his Honour was called upon to do then. He would
refer to a portion of the prayer, to illustrate
the peculiarity attendant upon the proceedings
in this case. The petitioners prayed that his Honour
might order the seal of the Birmingham and Oxford
Railway Company, together with all the funds and pro-
perty of that company, to be transferred to the hand,
of lawful directors. Now who were the lawful directors?
Here were four shareholders requiring this, and per-
haps these four shareholders might not have 201. interest
in the company. If there were any ground for the
present proceedings, a mandamus from the Queen's
Bench would have been the proper means to have
adopted. (The Learned Counsel here read the 16th sec-
tion of the Act, which provided that the directors were
to be elected at an ordinary meeting, and that the first
ordinary meeting should be held six' mouths after the
passing of the Act.) Now a meeting was held in pur-
suance of that Act, and there was an election or conti-
nuance in office of the directors named in the Act.
The special Act referred to the general Act with
respect to the election of the directors, and
that Act clearly intended that the directors
should remain in office for one year, and that the rota-
tion should not take place till the expiration of that
period. The Learned Counsel here quoted the 83d sec-
tion of the general Act, which he contended literally
provided that the election of directors should be for a
year. If this interpretation were not adopted there
could be no consistent construction put on the Act. It
was found that the intention of the Legislature was
affirmed in different other parts of the Act.
Mr. STUART followed on the same side. The Learned
Counsel directed his observations entirely to the allega-
tions of the bill. A meeting was held on the 13th of
March. That meeting was held in the day-time, but
was adjourned till five o'clock on the same evening. At
the adiourned meeting Mr. Muntz presided, and
a resolution was moved that such of the directors
as were in office previously to' the 27th of
the preceding February should retire. That re-
solution the chairman refused to .put' to the meet-
ing, and the proceedings that took place then was
one of the grounds for the course which had been
adopted by the petitioners. The bill stated that at that
adjourned extraordinary meeting the rotation of the re-
tirement of the directors was determined upon by the
shareholders present. A petition to Parliament was
also agreed to, praying that the directors should be pre •
vented adopting any further proceedings in the affairs
of the company. To that petition the chairman refused
to affix the common seal of the company, upon which it
was further resolved that six of the shareholders should
be authorised to do the same. Here were six new
directors appointed, who forthwith assumed to them-
selves the functions of the governing body. The bill
then alleged that the directors brought before Parlia-
ment Bills to which the company ware opposed. After
some other allegations to the same effect, they came to
the prayer of the petition, which prayed that all the pro-
perty of the company should be transferred to the six
directors appointed at the extraordinary meeting re-
ferred to. That appointment could not be shown to be
in conformity with the company's Act. If the prayer
of this petition were acceded to, what a ridiculous po-
sition would the company be placed in ? Why, there
would be no other human beings competent to act as
directors except these six directors appointed at
the adjourned extraordinary meeting. The Learned
Counsel proceeded at great length to argue on the
inconsistency of the bill. How could four share-
holders deal with the whole property of the
company, when it could not be shown who
authorised the present proceedings? They had not even
the six new directors there as complainants, they were
actually in court as defendants. The Learned Counsel
then proceeded to contend at great length that the elec-
tion of directors in October, 1846, continued them in
office for twelve months, according to the sections of the
Special, and the Consolidation, Act.
His HONOUR—Between the 13th and 88th sections
there is a variance as to time. If you put such a con-
struction on the 13th section as fixes the word " then"
to the time expressed in the 13th section, then you have
only to follow the mode of election prescribed in the
88th section, and there is a reasonable construction of
both sections.
air. BETHELL said, that was the construction made
by the best opinions in the land.
Mr. STUART said, if so, they were about a very idle
matter. He thought they were trying against one of
the best opinions in the land.
Mr. BETHELL--That was the decision of one of the
best opinions in the land.
Mr. STUART—If that were Mr. Bethell's opinion it
might be one of the best in the land. There is less dif-
ficulty in his (Mr. Stuart's)solutiitonoutthaans thonatepsroelsuetniotend.

—ieoart'l? threw ;
as entirely under the 88th sec-
tion, wholly disregarding what is said about time. The
time, beyond question, is to be at the first ordinary
meeting.
Mr. BETHELL—The Ist section gave express power
for the election of directors.
His HONOUR—The first ordinary meeting was in
February. Was there to be an election of directors
then, or not ?
Mr. STUART—I say not; but, if such was the case,
they might be elected, but could not enter into office.
His Hoisona—l want to put some construction upon
the two clauses The question was as to what was the
best construction with the least violence to language. I
wish to see what is the intention, and what was said.
Mr. STUART then resumed.
(The case was proceeding when our report left.)

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Two respectable youths, named Rowland and Perry,
were brought before Mr. Combe, charged by Wiliiam
Jackson, a W..sleyan Methodist preacher, under the
following circumstances:—
The complainant stated that he rented, for the pur-
poses of public worship, 'some premises adjacent to
Old St. Pancras-mad, and usually had a kind of
Sunday-scho,l there. Last niv,ht, about halt-
past seven o'clock, he was preaching in the chapel,
which was, as usual in such paces, open indis-
criminately to all persons who chose to enter,
whoa be was much annoyed by ft Dumber of bop in the

body of the chapol, who were hehavinz very irreve-.
renily ; 6,11(1. L• had boon
hi u 6iiniiar nieuher, he gave the tAo prisoneri into
custody.

COMBE—You must state more definitely what
those two lads have done, as yet I can see nothing to
criminate them.

The complainant—Why they were there, and there
was great noise and contusion, and one of them made
faces at me end said I should not put his brother out.
Mr. COONBE—As yet, I can see no grounds for the
char ge.
. _ _

he I:oinplaintint—Before the living God I have
statiA tmets.

Mr. CONBE (with emphasis)--You are already sworn,
Sir. Such appeals are unbecoming.
The complainant—Whitt I have said is a Scriptural
phrase.
Mr. Commt—Thar inuy be, hut it is tronecessarY.
We are not in the habit of hearing such confirmations

tantielit.

Another witness, a Sunday school teacher, was swore,
but was unable to state the slightest tact showing that
the prisoners had misconducted themselves.
Mr. CONDE said, before a party took the liberty of
giving another in charge, as was done in this case, by
which those two poor boy s were locked up all night le 5
telot:'s cell, he ihould be prepared to support his charge
with evidence. Not one tittle had been shown by either of
the witnesses to establish the accusation against either of
those lads, and he should therefore order theca to be at
once discharged; but he should, at the same time, tel
Mr. Jackson that it the boys' parents or next friends
chose to bring an action against btu, tor false imprison'
ment, he must take the consequenee, for it was too bad
that boys of respectable character like the accused should
be locked up all night in the cold cell of a station-house,
and then in the morning their accuser not have one pat"
title of evidence to offer in support of his charge.
The boys then left the court, accompanied by their
parents, who expressed themselves fully determined to
tike legal proceedings against Mr. Jackson for false lin'
prisonment.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
John Price, late a collector in the service of the Cori'
missi,,ners of Pavement of the Whitechapel district, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, the sitting
magistrate, for re-examination, charged with having
embezzled various rums, amounting to 701., which be
had received in the capacity of collector, appointed by
them.

Mr. Jennings, clerk to the Commissioners, stated that
the prisoner had filled the situation of collector about
six years, but, at a meeting of the board on the 19th uf
February last, was discharged from his situation. n
was the duty of the prisoner, annually, to send in a re-
turn of his accounts to be audited, but upon this occa-
sion he only produced his books, from an examination
of which, it appeared that there was a balance of 61. 145•
due from him to the Commissioners, for rates he bad
received. As the prisoner tacitly admitted that to be
the amount of his liability, by handing over that sum A
few days afterwards. It was discovered by his 511 C.
e ssor, however, upon going to the rate-payers, that
rates to the amount of 701. had been received by him, and
he was given into custody.
The officer who had taken the prisoner into custodh
said that on the way to the police station, at the pri-
soner's request, they went to Mr. Jennings' offices,
where the prisoner sent for one of his sureties, with $
view of inducing him to enter into an additional security
for the amount of his defalcations, but the witness 00
that occasion refused to be a party in any compromise
in the matter, and he took him to the station-house.

Mr. Jennings stated that there were, in addition,
sevena ether cases of a similar description against the
prisoner.
_ _

The prisoner's solicitor contended that the evidence
adduced was wholly insufficient to establish any realli
criminal conduct on behalf of the prisoner, who had not
had sufficient time allowed him to account for the amount.
in dispute.
Mr. BROUGHTON, however, thought that he was boot.'
to commit the prisoner on the score of embezzlement'
took bail for his appearance at the sessions, hiaise°
in 400/., and two sureties in 150/. each.

Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our market
have been but limited, consequently, the stands were by no
means heavily filled with samples. All kinds met a ye"'
dull inquiry, at a decline in the quotations of Is. per quarter
for the most inferior qualities. In Foreign Wheat so little
was doing that prices were almost nominal. The Barley tredl
ld
was in a very depressed state ; nevertheless holders
not submit to further reduced figures. Superfine vout•
Malt was quite as dear, but all other kinds might have been
purchased on easier terms. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour
