APPLICATION FOR A DENTOR'S RELEASE,
In the case of Choi Chan Li exparte Lo Tai Chan, Hr. P. WJGoldring (of Messrs. Brutton, Helt and Goldring) applied for the release of the debtor from prison where he had been. committed by his Lordship on Thursday on the ground that he had disclosed evidence of fraud in connection with the removal of a quantity of furniture from one of his houses, Mr. Goldring read a declaration made by the debtor's concubine, wherein she stated that sie bad removed the furniture in question without the debtor's knowledge or consent.
Mr. Pollock--Yes, they did attend, but who to say that some of the absent shareholders, who were of some distance, might not have disented if they had known of the now company with its huge capital. I am now informed that all of the dissentors did not attend both meetings. The whole question is whether the notion was good or bad.
His Lordship-Any irregularity would be

Mr. Pollock then cited the case of Tiessen versus Henderson in support of his argument, There was no mention in the notice or oirealar of a sam of 810,000 that was paid in brokerage in connection with the arrangements, nor of a sum of 325,000 which had already apparently brou paid to the promoter of the second tram- There way company. In the notice the material points should have been set out. should have been notice of the intention te reconstruct. It would appear from an affidavit filed by Mr. Hastings that the new company had already been put on the register and, therefore, they had considered it advisable to move at once. The new company had registered its memorandum and artices of necociation under the title of the "Peak Tram waya Company, Limited."
His Lordship-I think that a case hes hasn made out, and you are entitled to an injunction. better for both parties if an early date is fixed This will be granted, and I think it would be for the matter to come before the Court.

Mr. H. E. Pollock, K.C., instructed by Mr. G. Hastings (on behalf of Mr. Brown) and Mr. C. D. Wilkinson on behalf of other share holders) made the application.
His Lordship I don't see bow Mr. Brown can apply on behalf of other shareholders.
Mr. Pollock quoted authority to show that be had the right to say on behalf of other share- holders not present. The motions puasai at tho meeting of the company were--(1) That the business of the company should be wound up voluntarily. (2) That the general managers bo appointed liquidators. (3) The registration of new company. (4) That the liquidators should sell to a new company to be known as the Peak Tramways Company the undertakings of the old company at the price of $200 per share and enter into the necessary arrangements to carry the resolutions into effect. They took several the first of objections as to the validity of these proceed-

Although our circulars of the 29th ordinary meeting of the Company. August and the 11th October were very o219- fully worded and set out the proposal in precise terms, yet there seems to be a good deal of misapprehension in the minds of the general public as to what will be the actual effect of the scheme when carried through. First I may say that although the interests of the two com- panies may be amalgamated there is ander the sohumo no amalgamation of the two companies themselves. Each will retain its constitution unimpaired with its own articles of association, its own seal and its own board of directors Eạch, wo kopo, will retain its constituency ca. impaired. Those that now insure with the China Traders need not cense to insure with the China Traders because the Beciety be. comes a shareholder in that Company.

It is true that in Houg. kong, in London, in Shanghai or in Yokohama they may have to come to a different door and find a different man at the receipt of easter, but that will be all the difference, and in other placos where there are mercantile agencies we hapa tint these will continue to do the business of the two companies in just the same way as at present.
