The legal adviser of the company should have known that Article 191 of the Commercial Code states that," The Company must appropriate at each distribution of profits at least one-twentieth of such profits to a reserve fund, until the latter amounts 13 one-fourth of the capital" It is further added that "If shares have been issued at a higher rate than the par value, the amount exceeding the par value must be added 10 the reserve fund until the latter has reached the above-mentioned amount." In conjunction with Articla a38, this is clear enough, and it should be the duty of directors of a public com. pany, as business men, to check the statements of the company's legal adviser. This should be done in their own interests as well as those of the propretars as a body, for Clause 7 of Ar- ticle 262 of the Commercial Code; quoted in the judgment; states that "Promoters, part- ners managing the affairs of a commercial company, directors, representatives of a foreign commercial' company, inspectors, or liquida- tors are liable to a floe of from Y10 10-Y1,000

Doubtless an appeal will be filed against the decision of the Kobe Chiho Saibansho in the case referred to, though the issue, is perfectly clear, but the question will naturally arise as to who is really responsible and from whose packet the fine is to come. As this action may be regarded in the light of a "test case it may be well to consider, this point. The director of a company is its agent, so that he is liable to the company to indemnify it for any loss or damage caused by him either intentionally or negligently.
