In the Court of Appeal (London) on Janj 24th the Master of the Rolls and Lords Jus Romer and Cozene-Hardy delivered judg in two appeals from the judgment of 65,166.86 Jaslice Joyes in an action brought by

There was no right on the part o Excellency Chang, and nothing in the m randum of February 19, 1901, to give any right that could not be conferred n him by the memorandum of association and articles of association of the defendant col pany. It seemed to his Lordship that th Demorandow of February 19, 1901, whic kad for its object the formation of un English company, was incompatible with that. There. managing was power to appoint someone as director of the English company registered auder English law, but that did not cover 25.te something outside English law; the managing director must be some person under the control of the shareholders. That disposed of all in so far as the defendant company was concerned. With regard to the defendants, CA.
