LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Lord Justice Cairns.)
IR RE BARNED'S BANKING COMPANY-THE

CONTRACT CORPORATION COMPANY.

This morning Barned's Banking Company again
came before the Court of Chancery, in the
form of an appeal against the decision of the
Master of the Rolls, who had ruled that
the Contract Corporation Company, having
been entered on the register as shareholders at the
time of the failure of the bank, must be included
in the list of contributories, The Contract
Corporation Company, on the other hand, affirmed
that their name had been improperly placed on the
transfer of some shares.

Mr. Cotton, Q.C., and Mr. Kekewich appeared
for the liquidators of Barned's Banking Company ;
and Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., and Mr. Swanston for
the Contract Corporation Company.
Mr. Baggallay said that on the part of the Con-
tract Corporation Company he appeared to support
an appeal from the Master of the Rolls, who had
made an order placing the company on the list of
contributories. lie would recapitulate to his lordship
what was the transaction which had caused the
company to be put upon the list of contri-
butories. The had taken 368 shares, which were to be
transferred to various persons. As these shares
were taken they ought to have been so transferred
in the names of the persons for whom they were in-
tended. Some of the shares had been left blank, so
that it might allow Mr. Mosely to enter the name
of the persons who were to have them. A number
of shares, which were to have been transferred to one
person, were transferred in the name of the company,
although they never knew the subject matter of the
transfer, the distinguishing numbers of the shares,
nor their aggregate numbers. The Vance Contract
Corporation Company was inserted instead of that
of the name of a person named Peircey.
Lord Justice Cairns-1V here is Peircey—is he
before the Court ?

Mr. Bagga)lay—l do not know, my lord.
The Lord Justice--I must have him before me,
or you must obtain a rectification of the list.
Mr. Baggallay contended that the point which he
wished his lordship to decide upon was the question
whether they were legally amongst the shareholders
or not.

The Lord Justice—But you are de facto on the
list, and must come before me again in another
form, either by obtaining rectification or by bring-
ing up Peireey. You must say who ought to be on
the register and obtain this rectification.
After some discussion it was agreed that the
motion should come More his lordship as an original
one next Michaelmas term, and that in the mean-
time the Contract Corporation Company could
take such steps against Peircey as they thought fit.
