hereinbefore mentioned with respect to joint-stock companies seeking to obtain certificates of complete registration with limited liability; and upon compliance with such conditions, the registrar shall grant to such company, by its new name, a certificate of complete registration with limited liability; and thereupon all privileges and obligations hereby attached to companies with limited liability, their shareholders, directors, and officers, shall attach to the company named in such certificate, its shareholders, directors, and officers.

3. Every company that has obtained a certificate of complete registration with limited liability shall paint or affix, and shall keep painted or affixed, its name on the outside of every office or place in which the business of the company is carried on, in a conspicuous position, in letters easily legible, and shall have its name engraven in legible characters on its seal, and shall have its name mentioned in legible characters in all notices, advertisements, and other official publications of such

company.

4. If such company do not paint or affix, and keep painted or affixed, its name in the manner aforesaid, each of the directors thereof shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding 51. for not so painting or affixing its name, and for every day during which such name is not so kept painted or affixed; and if any director or other officer of the company, or any person on its behalf, use any seal purporting to be a seal of the company whereon its name is not so engraven as aforesaid, or issue or authorise the issue of any notice, advertisement, or other official publication relating to the business of the company, wherein its name is not mentioned in the manner aforesaid, he shall be liable to a penalty of 501.

5. No increase to be made in the nominal capital of any company that has obtained a certificate of complete registration with limited liability shall be advertised or otherwise treated as part of the capital of such company until it has been registered with the registrar of joint-stock companies; and no such registration shall be made unless a deed is produced to the registrar, executed by shareholders holding shares of the nominal value of not less than 257., to the amount in the aggregate of at least three-fourths of the proposed increased capital of the company, nor unless it is proved to the registrar, by such acknowledgment and declaration as hereinafter mentioned, that upon each of such shares there has been paid up by the holder thereof an amount of not less than 207. per centum; and if any such increase of capital as aforesaid be advertised or otherwise treated as part of the capital of the company before the same has been so registered, every director of such company shall incur a penalty of 501.; and the payment of the above per-centage shall be acknowledged in or indorsed on the deed so produced, and the fact of the same having been bonâ fide so paid shall be verified by a declaration of the directors, or any two of them, made in pursuance of the said act made in the 6 Will. 4, c. 62.

6. The members of a joint-stock company which has so obtained a certificate of complete registration with limited liability, after such certificate is granted, notwithstanding the provisions contained in the said act of the 8 Vict. c. 110, shall not be triable* under any judgment, decree, or order which shall be obtained against such company, or for any debt or engagement of such company, further or otherwise than is hereinafter provided.

7. If any execution, either at law or in equity, shall have been issued against the property or effects of the company, and if there cannot be found sufficient whereon to levy such execution, then such execution may be issued against any of the shareholders to the extent of their shares respectively in the capital of the company not then paid up: provided always, that no such execution shall issue against any shareholder except upon an order of the court in which the action, suit, or other proceeding shail have been brought or instituted, made upon motion in open court, after sufficient notice in writing to the persons sought to be charged; and upon such motion such court may order execution to issue accordingly; and for the purpose of ascertaining the names of the shareholders, and the amount of capital remaining to be paid upon their respective shares, it shall be lawful for any person entitled to any such execution, at all reasonable times, to inspect the register of

shareholders without fee.

8. Where any company completely registered under the

* Sic.

said act of the 8 Vict. c. 110, shall obtain a certificate of complete registration with limited liability, the grant of such certificate shall not prejudice or affect any right which previously to the grant of such certificate has accrued to any creditor or other person against the company in its corporate capacity, or against any person then being or having been a member of such company, but every such creditor or other person shall be entitled to all such remedies against the company in its corporate capacity, and against every person then being or having been a member of such company, as he would have been entitled to in case such certificate had not been obtained. 9. No alteration made by virtue of this act in the name of any company shall prejudice or affect any right which previously to such alteration has accrued to such company as against any other company or person, or which has accrued to any other company or person as against such company, but every such company as against any other company or person, and every other company or person as against such company and the members thereof, shall be entitled to all such remedies as they or he would have been entitled to if no such alteration had been made; and no such alteration shall abate or render defective any legal proceeding pending at the time when such alteration is made.

10. In the case of any company which has obtained a certificate of limited liability, whenever, on taking the yearly accounts of such company, or by any report of the auditors thereof, it appears that three-fourths of the subscribed capital stock of the company has been lost, or has become unavailable in the course of trade, or from the insolvency of shareholders, or from any other cause, the trading and business of such company shall forthwith cease, or shall be carried on for the sole purpose of winding up its affairs, and the directors of such company shall forthwith take proper steps for the dissolution of such company, and for the winding up of its affairs, either by petition to the Court of Chancery, or by exercise of the powers of the deed of settlement, or by such other lawful course as they may think most fit.

11. If any company whose trading and business ought under the last immediately preceding section of this act to have ceased continues after that time to carry on any trading or business, except for the sole and bonâ fide purpose of winding up its affairs, every director of such company shall be liable to a penalty Lot exceeding 501. for every week during which such business is so unlawfully carried on.

12. Every pecuniary penalty imposed in pursuance of this act shall be deemed a debt due to the Crown, and shall be recoverable accordingly.

13. This act shall, so far as is consistent with the contents and subject-matter thereof, be taken as part of and construed with the said act of the 8 Vict. c. 110, and the 11 Vict. c. 78; and all the provisions of the said acts, save in so far as they are varied by this act, shall apply to persons and companies applying for or obtaining a certificate of complete registration with limited liability.

14. This act shall not apply to Scotland.

15. This act may be cited for all purposes as "The Limited Liability Act, 1855."

The attention of the Profession is invited to the advantages offered by this Office to Solicitors and their Clients, which will be found to be greater than in most other Life Offices.

ADVANTAGES TO THE ASSURED.

1. Four-fifths of the Profits are divided triennially amongst the Assured.

In some Offices the Assured may not be entitled to a Bonus until the expiration of ten years from the time of effecting the Policy, whilst in this Office three years is the utmost limit.

2. At the first division of Profits in May, 1853, a Reversionary Bonus, averaging 451. per cent., was declared on all Participating Policies. In some cases the Bonus exceeded 611. per cent. on the premiums paid.

On reference to the Prospectuses of some of the principal Offices, it will be found that the Bonus on their first division was much less, viz. 291. per cent.

3. The next division of Profits will be declared in May, 1856, when all Policies effected in 1855 will participate.

In most Offices Assurers do not participate in the Profits until after payment of from three to five annual premiums, but in this Office they may participate on payment of a single premium.
