An application was made to Vice-Chancellor Sir
John Stuart yesterday by some of the shareholders
of the Estates Investment Company, complaining
of deception on the part of the directors, and desir-
ing to be struck off the list of contributories. To
this the Vice-Chancellor, after hearing the evidence,
assented, and condemned, in very strong terms,
the management of the company.
The following report has been issued by the liqui-
dators of the Oriental Financial Corporation :
The liquidators of the Oriental Financial Corporation
(Limited)„ were appointed on the Ist November, 1865, for
the double purpose of carrying out the proposed amalga-
mation with the London and Mediterranean Bank
(Limited), and of winding up the affairs of the corporation.
Shortly after the commencement of the winding up, the
London and Mediterranean Bank (Limited) went into
liquidation, having previously amalgamated with the Lou-
den and Bombay Bank (Limited), and thereupon endea-
',ours were made by the liquidators to form an amalga-
mation with the London and Bombay Bank (Limited),
open similar terms to those proposed between the
"rporation and the London and Mediterranean Bank
(Limited), but those were not successful, and thereupon it
remained only for the liquidators to do their best to wind
uP the affairs of the corporation, and to distribute its pro-
-1.-PertY• Upon the failure of the negotiations referred to
4Lessrs. Shoalos and Routh, two of the liquidators who re-
Presented the above-mentioned banks, resigned their
Bces. In the month of January, 1866, the London and
Sebay Bank (Limited), who were the holders of over-due
ca bay
of the Corporation, negotiated by the late di-
rectors to the extent of £25,000, commenced proceedings
against the corporation for the recovery thereof, and
the liquidators thereupon obtained a loan of £26,100
uPen the assets and future calls of the corporation,
and therewith satisfied the claim of the London
sad4,l4 Bombay Bank (Limited); such loan has been
Bombay
repaid, with the exception of £2,300, partly
bY the compromise of the proceedings sanctioned
2Y the general meeting of the contributories held on the
3cl day of February, 1866, and partly by the call of £1
Per share made on the 13th day of March last. The assets
01 the Corporation now remaining, consist of debts to the
exent of £BO,OOO and upwards, secured by bonds and other
Securities, of a much larger nominal value, which are at
Present
unsaleable, but the liquidators are using their best
endeavours to obtain offers for the purchase of them by
Private contract, and they have recently received an offer fora
Portion of the bonds, which, although at a very small sum,
pin been approved of by one of the liquidators. Theaccom-
'',,,73lng letter, report, and minute with reference to the offer
\re referred to, are printed for the use of the contri-
ohu.tories. The bonds held by the corporation are
ce lefiY Carmarthen and Cardigan, Carmarthen and
thTligan (Kidwelly,) and European Central Railway, and
to. securities consist of mortgages with personal cove-
ts by the debtors for the amounts due from their
ilcarrying interest at £lO per cent. perannum, and an assign-
namvu .
c_ a the beneficial interest of one of the debtors, subject
European
prior charges on the contract for the works of
European Central Railway Company. The liquidators
are
tepresented at the board of the latter company by their
Btooieiter, who attends all meetings on behalf of the credi-
t 'a generally, and controls the expenditure and proceed-
ngs of the directors. The liabilities of the corporation still
oftstalatlin g, consist of several overdue acceptances
the,44,"; corporation to the extent of £13,000, upon
to cu the liquidators are informed by the guaren-
witth tlat by reason of arrangements made by him
e the holders, no claim will be made against the
LL°ration, and a liability for unpaid capital upon the 350
-'°ll and engineering shares, held on account of the
Poration. The liquidators trust that the winding up of
the affairs of the corporation will be effected without the
ttiti asitY. for any further call, and that a surplus will be
Mately distributable amongst the contributories, the
atto„
tiori"ncfL
,of whichmust necessarily depend upon the realise-
"' tue assets of the corporation. A n account, which
has
au-,,.ueen audited and approved by Mr. Cooper, the late
"I.tor of the corporation, showing the receipts and pay-
-1,,11,1's end liabilities of the liquidators for the past year,
