LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT .OF KING'S BENCLI, Arm 21.

THE IfEGENT'S CANAL COMPANY V. LORD DUNDAS.

This was an' action to recover from the Noble
Defendant a sum of 8001. alleged by the Plaintiffs
to be due from him to the Company, as instal-
ments due upon certain shares of Which be was a
holder. The Defendant pleaded that be was not
Mr. WA itliEbl; for the plaintiffs, proceeded to
prove that the defendant was a shareholder, and
that the instalments in question had become ilue,
and a regular call had been made for the amount
at a Meeting of the General Committee; namely,
paymeut:of 10 per cent,. upon each share ; and
an order that
.the same should be paid at the time
appointed into the house of Messrs. Martyr) and
Stone; bankers, and to the account'of Mr. Ward,
Treasurer of the Company. '

Mr. SCJOILETT, for the defendant, submitted that
the plaintiffs-bad not done: what was necessary to
entitle themselves to bring the present action.
The 46th Section'of the Act passed for regulating
the management of this .Company provided that
calls should he made on the subscribers for pay-
nient of dividends by the General Committee, who
were to fix the amount of such payments, the time,
place, and manner of the same being made ; .and
if atter such call, any subscriber should neglect
to pay, he should 'be liable to be sued for the
amount of his dividend by the General Commit,-
tee. So far the provisions of .the 46th Section
went ; but . the 48th Section required something
more to be done. By the 48th Section it was pro-
'vided, to entitle themselves to bring their action
against a defaulter, it "was necessary they Should
'give to. suck defaulter 'a' notice of such call having
been made by the general Committee. The
plaintiffs hail not proved, nor had they indeed given
any such, notice to Lord Dttndas ; and therefore
be submitted they were not in a situntion'to sup-
port the present action.
- •

•Mr. WARREN Conttniled, that the call of the
Committee-was all the notice which the Act re-
quired.
Lord Et.teriaottotrell hehl the objection fatal,
and the plaintiffs were nonsuited.

THE SAME V. LORD ST. JOHN.

This was an.action brought by the same plain-
tiffs against Lord fit. John, under similar circum-
stances. The same objection arose as in the tor-
tpercase, and the plaintiffs were consulted.
