EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON, and Barons rAltiar
ALDERSON, and PLATT.)
BIIRMISTER (PUBLIR O)FICER) v. NORRIS (OFFICIO

XANAIBER).
This action was tried before Mr. Baron Platt ot
Guildhall, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff with
8,4001. damages.
Mr. CROWDER now moved for a rule to show canal
why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new Ufa'
had, on the ground of misdirection, and of the verdict
being against the evidence. This was an issue directed
to be tried by the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce.
plaintiffs were the London and Westminster Ban
Company, Company, and the defendants the proprietors in a ner-;
Lain German Mining Company of which lktorrt
was the official manager under the WindingllP
Act, and the question to be determined was vilu(7.,
the plaintiffs were entitled to recover the sum of 12,0,,v°b%
which they had advanced to the mining company
company was not incorporated under the Joint StoF9
Act, but was formed under a deed of settlement for
purpose of purchasing and working certain mines 1
Germany, and consisted of about 36 shareholders.
The capital of the company was 50,000/.,
divided into 100 shares of 5001. each. The n
quels;
n 4.
tion turned on the meaning of the deed, the 13
point being as to how far the directors had acted CO-
sistently with its provisions. The company vias 00;
biished in 1836, and the directors opened an accVorih
with the London and Westminster Bank, with wi'l
they continued to deal up to the time of the company
being wound up under the Act. In 1842 they overdrew
their account, and the balance against the ceraP„nl,
augmented from year to year until it reached 12,00eff6
the amount sought to be recovered by the piaintl
The shareholders did not deny that this money bad benA
received by the directors from the bank, nor that it lle"
been applied for the purposes of the company; but they
contended that the directors had exceeded their BOW:
rity under the deed, by borrowing the money, and tits'
the act of borrowing was not binding on the comPsnY
as a company. The only words in the deed bearing on
the authority of the directors wero the following:--
" The affairs and business of the company shall be
under the sole and entire control of the directors," and
the verdict seemed to pass on the assumption that this
was an impli, d authority to do everything necessary for
carrying on the company, and among other things bor-
rowing money. The words " affairs and business" cer-
tainly could not be construed into such a meaning
when it was considered that this was a mining cow'
piety, for digging and selling ore, and for nothing else- ,
The whole calls on the shares had been paid up, and
there was a provision in the deed that the directors
should have power to call a special general meeting for
the purpose of obtaining its consent to making add°
tion4l calls,
if necessar, and that course had been
adopted, but nowhere in the deed was power given'
either by calling
a special meeting or otherwise, t,l
borrow money; and on these grounds the Learned
Counsel contended that he was entitled to a rule for
new trial.
The Court granted a rule.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice EaLE.)
QUEEN V. CORPORATION OF BRADFORD.
which
Mr. Justice ERLE gave judgment in this case, "/
was an application for a mandamus requiring the eorP0:1
ration to re-elect a portion of their body in pursuance
the Municipal Corporation Act. The motion for the r°.
nisi and the details of the case have already apPeoreu

Rule absolute accordingly,
QUEEN V. JUSTICES OF HALESOVER. 0(1
Mr. M. 1). HILL moved the Court under the 11 1
1„t,
12 Viet., chap. 44, section commonly called JerViS'a r
for a rule to show cause why the justices of Halele
should not be required to issue an order in basterii;
The case was this. An order in bastardy was clos
upon a person named Daily. By that order hew ,he
called upon to pay the sum of 2s. 6d. per week to
mother. There was a provision in the 7 and 8 Ir,ic.:
under which the order was made, which enabled J"„"i
tices, if the application was made within six weeks
the time of birth to order the weekly sum to be
from the birth, but if the application was postponed
be-
yond that period then the power of the magistrates vi
limited to making the order for payment from the d
date of the application. Now, it aPPearea,
upon the face of the order in this ctl-de"
that the application to the magistrate was °II
after the expiration of the limited time, and yet the 7,„-,
;
gistrates ordered the putative father to pay from th eAzo
of the birth, instead of the date of the application. 7,
made the order defective, but not null, and the Icag;
trates had therefore refused to enforce the order witu°-
the authority of this Court.
Mr. Justice ERLE thought it had been laid down that
an order which was bad in part was bad in the whole' us
Mr. M. D. HILL said there were eases in the boo s
where the Court had interfered to enforce parts of order
that were good, notwithstanding that detects appeared
upon the face of the order itself.
old
Mr. Justice ERLE remarked that if such a rule cA° ,i 0
be established, it would be highly salutary, but be had :rt
impression upon his mind that an order defective in
was bad in the whole.
Mr. M. D. HILL reminded his Lordship that it her
been decided that where a magistrate made an order
retrospective when they had only power to make it pro-
spective, the Court would interfere to enforce the pro
sportive portion. Now, that was a somewhat analogous
ca a) to the present, and ho hoped it was sufficient euth°.
rite to induce his Lordship to grant a rule nisi.
Mr. Justice ERLE—You may take a rule to show
cause.—Rule nisi accordingly.
