reaching the state of an actual legally constituted com-pany, then the persons composing the provisional committee are solely liable for all expenses incurred, and the individuals agreeing to take shares, are precisely in the same situation as if they had never agreed; that is, they are not bound to pay any portion of their deposits, if they have not already paid them, and are entitled to recover them back, if they have paid them.

THE judicial storm which has long been threatening the abandoned railway undertakings, has at length marked and burst upon its victim. Henceforth provisional directors will have to run the gauntlet, after the manner of American Indian prisoners, through a lane lined with a double row of enemies,-allottees on the one side, and on the other, engineers, solicitors, trades- The doctrine laid down in the very recent case of men, &c.; and with a stab from "Walstab v. Spottis-Wontner v. Sharp, goes a step further than even Walwoode" on the one side, or "Wontner v. Sharp" on the other, and with a huge sweeping blow from the old and tried sword of " Nockels v. Crosby," as a crowning mercy at the end, happy will they be if the very race of provisional directors is not swept from the face of the country, as an expiatory sacrifice for the gambling sins of nearly the whole English community.

In a former Number (Vol 10, p. 110) we took the liberty of presenting some reasonings against the application of Nockels v. Crosby (3 B. & C. 814) to the case of modern allottees in projected railway companies. The case of Walstab v. Spottiswoode (ante, p. 460) has, however, disposed judicially of all arguments against Nockels v. Crosby, whether considered per se, or with reference to the modern transaction of contracting to take shares in a projected railroad company, which afterwards does not reach the state of a mature company. The broad doctrine, now gradually becoming consolidated seems to be this: that, if a railway scheme is projected under the paternity and care of persons acting as a provisional committee; if, to the invitation of those persons to the public to take shares, stating that the company is intended to comprise a given number of shares, making together a given capital, individuals of the public respond by agreeing to take shares; and if the scheme is abandoned, by reason of an insufficient number of shareholders coming in, before VOL. X. X

stab v. Spottiswoode, to the effect that an allottee is not bound even by signing the company deed, if the concern is broken up before completion.

The proposition contained in these cases, we must now take undoubtedly to be the law; but it is not, as it appears to us, either very rational or very equitable. Let us examine it a little. Until such a number of shares is taken as will justify the provisional committee in hoping to carry on the scheme successfully to its parliamentary termination, they cannot feel safe in paying any expenses; because, according to the late cases, if they should happen to be obliged to break up in a state of incompleteness, every shilling that they have expended, must be paid by them; while, without incurring expenses, they cannot have the slightest prospect of obtaining further subscriptions for shares, because, to obtain such subscriptions, information must be collected and diffused at a very considerable expense. Thus provisional committees will be practically prevented from taking the means of doing that, the not doing of which, is to throw upon them a purely personal responsibility.

The tendency of this is not very clearly consistent with commercial policy; for, of course, as to all existing incomplete undertakings, if the provisional_committee-men are men of straw, who have in the company merely with a view to raising shutes to a pre

mium for the purpose of speculation, they, caring for Heming v. Swinnerton (Ap)
nothing that can happen, and knowing, that, if the com-Trail v. Bull (Ap)
pany breaks up, the demand against themselves is a right
without a remedy, have every inducement to support
one fraudulent contrivance by another, and to continue,
as long as they can, a course of expenditure for the pur-
pose of carrying the scheme forward, taking the chance of
profit that may arise in the course or in the result of such
proceedings, and setting all creditors at defiance by the
hopelessness of their insolvency, should the concern fail,
and be broken up. But, upon bonâ fide fair schemes,
got up by men of some substance, with a view to the
actual business for which the company purports to be
created, the effect of the decisions will be totally dif-
ferent. Provisional committee-men who have some-
thing to lose, will be indisposed, precisely in the ratio of
their prudence, and, therefore, of their fitness for carry-
ing forward the business they have undertaken, to incur
further expenses, which they now know will fall en-
tirely upon themselves, if they are prevented by cir-
cumstances, over which they may or may not have
control, from obtaining the requisite number of shares.
The tendency, therefore, is to induce the keeping
together of swindling companies, headed by incompetent

and dishonest men, and to break up the best companies
headed by the best men. These considerations may or
may not have been present to the mind of the court
in Walstab v. Spottiswoode, or, being present to the
mind of the court, they may have been thought unfit
to be considered as grounds of legal reasoning. How
ever this may be, we cannot doubt that the general
doctrine of law is settled by that case, nor do we indi-
vidually doubt that it is a doctrine replete with mischief
as regards commercial policy. When a sufficient num-
ber of cases has been decided on the important questions
affecting railway liabilities, we shall endeavour to pre-
sent to our readers a careful legal analysis of them.
