RAILWAY MUTUAL PROTECTION
SOCIETY.

This Society is a voluntary association of persons interested in the
success and judicious administration of railways ; and especially for
ascertaining the present state of the law as affecting the rights and
liabilities of those connected with railways and railway projects.
That in the undefined state of the law touching the ♦arious rela-
tions in which persons connected with railways find themselves
placed, great inducements are offered to the resistance of just de-
mands, and to the enforcement of groundless claims; in either case
imposing very serious expenses, amounting in the one to the denial
of justice, and in the other to the infliction of positive wrong.
It is obvious that individuals having to enforce their rights against,
or to resist unwarrantable claims by bodies corporate in their cha-
racter, and having in their hands large funds, will do so at a serious
disadvantage, without an arrangement for co-operation and mutual
assistance, and the aid of a subscribed fund. It is therefore agreed
that a fund shall be provided by subscription, and that the following
rules and regulations shall be binding upon the members of the
Society.
That a Committee of seven persons, including the President, to be
called the Council, shall be appointed to conduct the bulimia of the
Society.
That a president shall be appointed, whose sanction, with two of
the Council, shall be necessary to all decisions touching the institution
or defence of proceedings at law or in equity.
That the Council shall consider the case of any member of the
Society which may be brought before them, and shall advise whether
any and what proceedings shall be taken, either at law, in equity, or
otherwise, for the protection or assertion of the rights of such mem-
ber, and that all such proceedings as may be suggested by the Council
shall be submitted to the solicitors of the Society. _ _

That, for the guidance of the Council, and for the satisfaction of
the members of the Society, the opinions of several counsel at the
equity and common law bars shall be taken upon the various and
moat prominent questions which may affect the rights and liabilities
of the subscribers and allottees of shares, as well as the Directors,
Managing and Provisional Committeemen, of railways and railway
projects. t _

That the names of persons seeking to become members of the So-
ciety shall be submitted to the Council, who shall have the absolute
power of admission.
That an annual subscription of Two Guineas shall be paid by each
member of the Society, on or before the let of January in each year,
and no person shall be deemed a member until such subscription
be paid.
That members who shall not renew their subscriptions on or before
the Ist day of January, 1847, and so on from time to time, on or
before any succeeding Ist of January, shall cease to be members of
the Society.
That any subscriber who may desire to confide his own case to the
Council of the Society, may do so in strict confidence, and if his case
is one which the Council deem to be within the scope of the Society,
may then have the option of requiring his interests to be considered
by the solicitors of the Company upon the payment to the funds of
the Society of such further sum of money as may appear to the Coun-
cil appropriate and reasonable, or of placing the business in other
hands upon his own responsibility.
That all subscribers shall be entitled to the benefit of the opinions
of counsel proposed to be taken for the guidance of the Council, and
also of the advice of the counsel and of the solicitors.

ment of the business of the Society, provided they are not repugnant
to the above rules And that no subscriber shall be liable for any
costs, charges, and expenses whatever beyond his subscription, and
such other expenses as shall have been provided for by his engage-
ments with the Council.
