EQUITY.

RACING TRANSACTIONS 13 CnANcznir.--An injunction
was applied for on the part of Mr. Clark, well known in
the racing world, to restrain Mr. Shirley, at one time a
general in her Majesty's service, from proceeding against
him in an action for the recovery of certain moneys said to
be due from tne former to the latter. In October 1865 a
warrant of attorney for £1,500 was given on the racehorse
Laeville, judgment u pon which was signed the following day.
An agreement was then drawn up, the material portion of
which it was urged was, that the amount which still
remained due to the defendant after the sale of the horse
was to be secured by an I 0 U, not to be enforced for three
years. Eventually, the horse was sold for £3O, and the
plaintiff swore that at a meeting at Brussels all accounts
between the two were settled. The defendant swore
exactly the opposite. Lord Romilly reserved judg-
ment. •

RESULT OF CHANCING TIIE OBJECTS OF A CONFANY.—
The right of shareholders to be held free from liability on
account of their shares in a company the objects of
which have been changed, they having applied for a
return of all their deposits, was decided by the Master of
the Rolls in the case of the Canadian Company. The
company was established in July 1E62 for the purpose,
as alleged in the prospectus, of acquiring- land in the oil-
producing districts of Canada, working the petroleum
springs, shipping the oil to England, "arid di:posing of it
by sale. In Ncvomber 1862 the company issued an
additional prospectus, •in which it- was set out that
oil districts had been purchased and oil wells sunk
On the 14th of the same month a report was made
to the effect that commissioners had been appointed to
proceed to Canada, to examine the lard purchased ;
and the
.agricultural value of the property, indepen-
dent of its oil-producing qualities, was discussed. On
the 3rd January the shareholders received the report
of • the commissioners, when it came out that no
lands had been bought at all, and that it was not intended
to buy any, the company intending merely to bring oil to
England for the purpose of sale. The shareholders were
asked to sanction the change in the objects of the company,
which was henceforth to be called the Canadian Oil Com-
pany-, Mr. fox, a shareholder, who held some 170 shares,
being dissatisfied, applied for and obtained the return of
the deposits he had paid. Shortly afterwards the com-
pany was wound up, and it was sought to placebili. Fox
on the list-of contributories. The Master of the Rolls held
that as the objects of the company were entirely changed,
any shareholder who applied for the return of his deposit
was exempt from liability on account of his shares. Xi--
Fox would therefore not be held a contributory of. the
.company.
