THE LIVERPOOL NEW GAS COMPANY, Provisionally
Registered under the 7th and Bth Victoria, c 110, is formed
for the purpose of supplying the Borough of Liverpool with
Gas, of the best illuminating power, at Three Shillings per
Thousand Cubic Feet.

The Company is to consist principally of consumers, and
two-thirds of the shares will be specially reserved for persons
of this class.

The capital of the Company to be .150,000, in 30,000
shares of each, with power to increase it to .e 250,000.
With the view of inducing consumers generally to become
prorrietors, the payment of calls will extnd over a period of
ten months, and no call will exceed lOs. per share; but per-
sons paying up the full amount of their shares will be entitled
to intere3t at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum.
The Company is never to divide a dividend larger than
per cent. per annum.

- Owing to the numerous inventions for improving the
manufacture and distribution of gas, the New Company can
e*ect works and light the borough for little more than one
third of the amount of the paid-up capital of the United Gas
Company.
. .

To-obiiate inconvenience to the public, it is proposed to
lay the mains and the service pipes during the night, upon
the plan successfully adopted in the city of London.
The charge of three shillings per thousand cubic feet Is to
be uniform to small and large consumers.

As the proposed price of three shillings per thousand cubic
feet will give a saving to the public of about €.10,000 annually,
it is confidently anticipated that the Town Council, in whom
the streets are vested, will permit the New Company to lay
its Main and Service Pips previous to its application to Par-
liament during the ensuing session for the usual powers.
And in that event, as eligible sites can be obtained at once for
the erection of Works on most advantageous terms, it is in-
tended to light the town by the close of the present year.
A clause will be inserted in the deed of settlement to pre-
vent an amalgamation with any existing gas company.
The affairs of the Company are to be conducted by a Board
of Nine Directors, to be chosen by the shtfreholders in public
meeting assembled.

For the proteciion of the public, the meters and gas will be
tested by competent persons to be selected by the directors,
subject to the approval of the Corporation of Liverpool.
Ordinary Service Pipes and all Meters will be fixed free of
charge, and the rent for use of meters placed on an equitable
footing.

Under the Deed of Settlement, Shareholders, Directors,
Trustees, and Officers of the Company cannot be involved in
personal liabilities beyond the amount of their respective
'shares, (see opinion of Counsel annexed.)
Already 11,351 parties, comprising many of the principal
firms in the town, and representirg an estimated annual con-
sumption of 238 millions of cubic feet, have signed under-
takings to become purchasers of gas, so soon as the Company
are in a position to supply IL—. jueury sit
belief that the Company will not only be a profitable pe-
cuniary undertaking,
.but also a permanent and substantial
boon to the town.

The following opinions on the Joint Stock Companies' Act
were obtained by the Projectors of the Great Central Gas
Consumers, Company of London, in July, 1849.
The opinion of Counsel is requested :
Q. Ist—Whether, after the Company shall have been com-
pletely registered, any of the Directors or Shareholders can
be sued personally in respect of any debts that may be con-
tracted by the Company?

A. lst--We are of opinion, that after the complete regis-
tration, no Director or Shareholder is liable to be sued in
respect of any debts contracted by the Company, but that all
proceedings must be against the Company, in its corporate
character.

Q. 2nd—Whether any of the Directors or Shareholders of
the Company can he made responsible, in any form, beyond
the amount of their respective shares, for any debts con-
tracted in the form prescribed in the 97th clause of the Com-
pany's deed, which restrains the directors from pledging the
credit of the shareholders, and limits tho responsibility to
the funds of the Company?
A. 2nd—We are of opinion that the 97th clause of the deed
protects the shareholder from personal responsibility as to
all contracts made in the form prescribed, so that a judgment
obtained against the Company upon such contracts can he
enforced only against the common funds.
Q. 3rd.—lf any Director shall, in breach of his duty, enter
into any contract on behalf of the company, without intro-
ducing the restrictions contained in the 97th clause, can any
of the shareholders, or either of the directors (except the di-
rector entering into the contract) be made responsible beyond
the amount of their respective shares ?
A. 3rd.—ln conformity with the cases already decided upon
this point, we are of opinion that co director or shareholder,
except the individual who made the contract, could, in the
circumstances supposed, be made responsible to the con-
tracting party
