shareholders in the Upper Medway Company claimed
to vote in respect of freehold shares in that Company,
with lands, wharfs, &c. ; but their claim was rejected,
without even an enquiry into the description of the
property claimed for. " Gent:emen," said Mr.
BROCKMAN, the Revising Barrister, " you are barred
in limine ; von are a corporate body, and von cannot,
as individuals, have a vote in virtue of property held
by you in your corporate capacity." The claim was
accordingly rejected.
When the New River Company's claim came to be
considered by Mr. COVENTRY, one of the Revising
Barristers for Middlesex, it was rejected, we believe,
on the same ground. But when the same claim came '
More Messrs. KNAPP and PEAKS, mark the diffe-
rent view taken of it by these gentlemen.
" The shareholders in the New River Company," say
they," are not only entitled to vote individually for their
corporate property, but the profits of their concern are
freehold property, and these profits, though deri‘ ed
principally from works, &c., situated in another
county, and from water purchased from another com-
pany, entitle every one who receives forty shillings of
a dividend out of them a vote in the county of Hert-
ford !" " That's a noble decision," exclaims the
Clerk of the Company ; " 0, wise young judges, how
do I honour you ! you are perfect DANIELS come to
judgment ! Our profits—here arc the proofs—are
fifty thousand pounds a year—not a farthing less !!"
It is hardly necessary to make any other remark on
such a decision than this—that if it can be sustained
by law, the very first thing to be done is to alter the
law. It is obvious that the shareholders of the New
River Company would return the Members for the two
counties through which their puddle runs ; and it is
equally obvious, that had it run through every county
in England, the whole representation of the kingdom
would have been in their hands. Besides, the principle
of the decision is so sweeping an application, that it
would completely overthrow the whole representative
fabric as at present established.
