THIS DAY.

I The further hearing of this case was pro.
ceeded this morning before the Lord Mayor
and Alderman Gabriel, in the Court of Queen's
Bench, Guildhall.
Mr. Barrow, a magistrate of Derbyshire, said
that in consequence of reading the prospectus of
the company he purchased 200 shares at between
two and three prem., and since the windiug-up he
had paid two calls of £2 10s. each. He was in-
duced to purchase these shares by believing the
statements in the prospectus were true. If he had
known the actual condition of the company, he
should certainly not have purchased aqy shares
in it.

Mr. Holme, a gentleman residing near Carlisle,
gave similar evidence. lie purchased 120 sbares,
and paid £l5 upon them, and £2O for calls.
Ile was greatly induced to buy the shares by the
belief that the Gurneys were highly honourable
men, and incapable of fraud.
Mr. Peek recalled. It will be remembered that
on the former occasion it was proved that this wit-
ness had paid £84,000 on account of the prices of
the shares and calls. 11e now added to his former
evidence that he was induced to purchase the shares
by the statements in the prospectus, and the
belief that the directors were honourable, trust-
worthy men.

Mr. Howell was then recalled, and stated tha
during the ten days in May previous to the stop.
page the Gurneys and Mr. Barclay drew out
£llO,OOO from the coffers of the limited company.
When the stoppage occurred £41,000 only re-
mained to their credit.

Mr. Harding, an accountant, carrying on busi-
ness in Old Jewry, one of the liquidators of the
limited company, stated that at the time of the
stoppage the amount of money paid by the share-
holders was .E 1,200,000. The total capital would
have been £1,500,000, but a number of shares
were handed to the directors in part payment of
the good-will (£300,000), upon which, of course,

no money was paid. Since the stoppage,
the amount paid upon calls was £1,642,000.

The total amount they owed the company at the
time of the stoppage was £2,970,000, and this would
be in addition to the amount that was due upon
calls upon 8,000 shares.
Mr. Lewis said the fact was the directors sold
8,320 of these shares at from £4 to £5 premium, and
they could not sell any more, but they paid no
calls upon the remaining shares.
Mr. 'larding said the calls would have produced
£160,000, which would be added to the amount of

their indebtedness. The limited company had been
benefited by the private estates of the directors to

the extent of £695,000, and there were other assets

of a miscellaneous character which he estimated

would produce about £lOO,OOO. The proposed call
of £5 per share was not in, any way caused by the
costs of the present prosecution.

The examination of this witness occupied the
court until its rising.
