  • In Re Cobre Copper Mine Co

    21 Dec 1869 LR 9 Eq 107, Equity

    COMPANY — Forfeiture of Shares.
    SIR W. M. JAMES, V.C.:— It appears to me that, when the constitution of this company is considered, the matter resolves itself into a very simple case indeed. This company was one of a very irregular constitution. It was a company consisting of persons who were not to be bound, unless they were called upon by some special matter afterwards, in any way whatever. They were to consist of the holders of certificates of shares, which were to entitle them to the benefits of the company. The capital originally was to be paid by yearly instalments. Every person was to

    COMPANY — Rectification of Register — 25 & 26 Vict. c. 89, s. 35.
    SIR R. MALINS, V.C.:— This is an application by Mr. Simpson under the summary powers given by the 35th section of the Act of 1862 (25 & 26 Vict. c. 89), that the register of shareholders of the company may be rectified by striking out his name as the holder of 1708 shares. This is not the case of a company ordered to be wound up, but the application is rested on the ground that Mr. Simpson's name has been improperly placed upon the register in respect of these shares, and ought therefore to be taken off. Now, certainly the

  • In Re Morgan’s Settled Estates

    14 Mar 1870 LR 9 Eq 587, Equity

    PRACTICE — Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Act (19 & 20 Vict. c. 120) ss. 23, 25 — Payment of Proceeds of Sale to Trustees.
    SIR R. MALINS, V.C.:— The object of the Act is to supply a power of sale where the settlement does not contain it, and to provide that the money shall be applied as it would be applied under a proper power of sale. In this case the settlement contains a trust for sale, and provides for the application of the purchase-money. The order, therefore, is quite right, and the money must be paid to the trustees to be held upon the trusts of the settlement. March 14. Mr. Hastings again mentioned the matter, and said that the Registrar still doubted

  • Price v Hutchison

    12 Jan 1870 LR 9 Eq 534, Equity

    PRACTICE — Motion to Commit — Cons. Ord. XLII., Rule 2.
    SIR R. MALINS, V.C.:— This is one of the most extraordinary cases that has ever been brought before the Court. It details a course of conduct which is almost incredible. The affidavit of Mr. Vanderpump has been confirmed in various particulars by the two policemen, and the Respondents have admitted and corroborated every material statement. After what has been stated, I am bound to say that I believe every word in Mr. Vanderpump's affidavit; and the denial by the Respondents that they committed any violence I totally disbelieve. The letter which the Respondents wrote on the following day to Messrs.
