LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

HOUSE OF LORDS APPEALS.

OAKES V. TURQUAND AND ANOTHER-PEEK, JUN.,
V. TURQUAND AND ANOTHER-JUDGMENT.

A decision on this very important appeal, which
involves so many interests, was given this morning.
It will be remembered that the appellants, Oakes
and Peak, the younger, were shareholders in the
company of Overend and Gurney, and when that
company stopped payment they were placed upon
the list of contributories. On this an appeal was
made to the Vice-Chancellor Malins against such a
course, on the ground that the appellants were in-
duced to become shareholders by fraudulent repre-
sentations. The Vice-Chancellor refused to inter-
fere, and the present appeal was made.
The Lord Chancellor said that at the time the
firm of Overend and Gurney became a company
they were in an apparently flourishing condition,
and it was stated that at the end of the year 1860
the division of profits amounted to £190,000. No
doubt the directors of the company thought that if
they could obtain fresh capital by inducing share-
holders to join they would be able to make it pay ;
but as they had to make the experiment with other
people's money as well as their own they ought to
have given a full explanation, and that they did
not do so he must consider as an improper course.
They appellants alleged that they did not know
that they were placed as shareholders, that the
company was incorporated on 22d June, and it
was agreed to hold no meeting for ten months,
and in the meantime the company was wound
up. This would involve an investigation of what
were the terms of the Winding-up Act of
1862. His lordship then entered into an elaborate
disquisition as to what constituted a contributory,
and quoted a great number of recent decisions
which had taken place. He said that if a share-
holder were registered, and had taken the shares
with his own consent, he must be considered a con-
tributory, and if it was alleged that he had not
signed the articles of agreement, it was his own
fault. At the conclusion the Lord Chancellor said
his judgment would be for affirming the decree of
"Vice-Chancellor Mathis, with this variation, that
each appellant would bear his own costs. lie should
therefore move their lordships to dismiss the appeal.
Lord Cranworth and Lord Colonsay concurred.
Appeal dismissed.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
MR. POTTER AND HYDE PARK DEMONSTRATIONS.-

JONES V. POTTER.

This was an action to recover the hire of a certain
room in which meetings were held upon the subject
of the Reform Demonstration in Hyde Park.
Mr. Cooke appeared for the defendant, and
pleaded that the defendant never hired the hall
at all.
Plaintiff said that at the time the ball was hired
Mrs. Jones carried on the Sussex Hotel, in which
the room was situated. A trade-union meeting was
held at the house, and Mr. Potter's clerk came round
and hired the room fora meeting in order to organise
the Reform Demonstration in Hyde Park. At the
meeting Mr. Potter attended, and took an active
part.
In cross-examination plaintiff said that the room
was not taken by a committee, but by Mr Potter.
He knew nothing of any committee.
Mr. Cooke said he should prove by evidence that
his client never engaged the room at all.
Plaintiff—Why Mr. Potter offered to pay the
money if I would forego the costs.
His Honour—l suppose it does not matter who
pays this money. It comes out of one fund, does
it not ?

Mr. Cooke—Oh, no ; it comes out of the corn
mittee fund.

Plaintiff—Defendant promised to pay.
Mr. Cooke—That was entirely without prejudice.
His Honour—The money is in court. It appears
to be only a matter of temper.
Two members of the committee were called, and
deposed that they took the room ; one of those gen-
tlemen deposed that he had expressly agreed with
Mrs. Jones in the name of the committee.
Mr. Potter said he was a member of the Reform
League, and had sometimes taken the chair at the
meetings. Ile took great interest in the question.
He never hred the room either by himself or his
agent. It via not likely he should make himself
liable for a sum of money of this kind.
His Honour—You see that John Thomas has
sworn that he made the arrangement with your
mother on behalf of the committee, and your mother
is not here to contradict him.

Plaintiff—My son has applied to Mr. Potter
several times for this money, and he has promised to

pay it.
Mr. Potter—l deny it.
Plaintiff— Why, I have asked him myself, and he
has promised to settle it.
His Honour—But Thomas swears distinctly he
hired the room for the committee. I must nonsuit
the plaintiff.
Plaintiff—l can assure your Honour that Potter
said he would settle after the Reform demonstration
in llyde-park.

Defendant—l never said so.
His Honour—l must nonsuit the plaintiff, who
must sue the committee.
Mr. Cooke—Will your Honour allow costs ?
His Honour—Certainly not. Ido not consider
that it is at all a matter in which I ought to grant
costs.

Plaintiff nonsuited, but no costs granted de
feudant.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
IN RE LONGBOTTO3I.

This bankrupt was described as a director of a
public company, residing at Hammersmith, and to-

order of discharge. Accounts show that the bank-
rupt owes to unsecured debtors £10,993, and he
has not a single farthing of assets, the deficiency
being entered simply as £10,993. The bankrupt
had been one of the directors of the Artificial
Stone Company, and was about to form another
company to work some French iron-works.

TnQ case vas adjourned until a future day.
