The case was followed with much interest by Liverpool, basinges man, and that the details were complicated may be gathered from the fact that Mr F. E Smith occupied two hours in opening the case for the plaintiff

Mr Buckleton, said counsel, was a well- known Liverpool citizen, who, after coming from New York catablished at Litherland a rubber regeneration works under the name of the North, Western Rubbar Com pany, Ltd, of the Duited States of America. The defendants were rubber merchants at Fenchurch-street, London, and had a branch at Chapel-street, Livor pool, their concern being a very large ons; There had been a great deal of investment in rubber in the past few months through its appreciation in value, and the charge which was made in this case was a serious one.

The defendants knew that any rubber company which bore their name, of which they wer the underwriters or promoters brought out at this time would sell its shares like wild fire. These people in Liverpool who were i taking the shares were not subscribing on the prospectus, because it was not furth coming at this moment, but on the name of the firm, and the assuqunces given by M Johnson that it was a rubber company.

The prospectus first appeared in the newspapers on April with a bending of A very curious character:For public in- formation only, and not to be construed as an invitation to subscribe." In it was stated that the property comprised 24,000 acros, bounded on three sides by a deep navigable river. Four hundred acres were under cultivation, on which 15,000 trees
