LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS.
(Before tho Lords Justices.)
IN RE HOME COUNTIES AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE

COMPANY, EX PARTE DR. ROBERT WOLLASTON.

This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor
Kinderaley, holding that Dr. Wollaston was liable as a
shareholder and contributor of the company in respect of
200 shares.

The defendant repudiated his liability on the ground that
the company promised to appoint him one of their medical
attendants, and that on the faith of this promise he took
shares in the company, and as this promise was not ful-
filled, and he was not appointed the medical officer of the
company, he was not liable as a shareholder.
Mr. Glasse, Q.C., and Mr. Brookbank, appeared for Dr.
Wollaston, and contended that as he was induced by false
and fraudulent representations to take shares, he was not
liable as a shareholder of the company.
Mr. Lewis, Q.C., for the company/
submitted that the
appellant, Dr. Wollaston, was clearly liable as a shareholder
of the company. By the 7th and Bth Vict., sec. 11, it is
required that a return shall be made of all persons ceasing
to become shareholders of a company in the form of sche-
dule F. The appellant made no such return, but allowed
his name to continue on the list of shareholders as a share-
holder of the company, without any notification of default
or forfeiture or declaration that he ceased to be a share-
holder, and therefore he was liable as a shareholder of the
company.

Mr. Higgins followed on the same side.
Mr. Glasse, Q.C., replied there was no declaration of
forfeiture and no transfer of shares before the winding-up
of the company.
Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner
were of opinion that Dr. Wollaston's name should be struck
out of the list of shareholders of this company, in respect
that, in default of paying up his calls within 21 days, due
notice was given to him by the company of the forfeiture of
his shares, and that it was a matter of indifference whether
the declaration of forfeiture was Made before or after the 21
days—it was a question of form, and not of substance, that
did not affect the decision. The company allowed two
years to elapse after the notice.

Their lordships allowed the appeal, but without costs to
Dr. IN ollaston. Costs of the official manager to be paid
out of the estate.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir J. Romilly.)
IN RE HAVERFIELD.-JUDGHENT.

This was a petition to vary the decision of the taxing
master in taxing the accounts in this case.
His Honour the Master of Rolls affirmed the decision of
the taxing master, and dismissed the petition without costs.

one o'clock the Marquis of Chandos appeared in

opponent, and increased the lead to 57, the highest

voted for Mr. Gladstone appeared to take the Oxo-
nians by surprise, as his name had been mentioned
to oppose Mr. Cardwell for Oxford City. The
polling takes place to-morrow at half-past eleven to
one, and from two to five, and from seven to eight
o'clock.
