COMPANY LAW IN THE

A comparative analysis of the. Company Laws of the United Kingdom, India, Canada, and other colonise, with a memorandum prepared by the Board of Trade for the Imperial Con- ference, 1907, has been published as a Blue book (Ce. 3580).

Mr. Llewellyn Smith, in an introductory letter to the President of the Board of Trade, explains that the Imperial Conference, after considering the analysis and memorandum, adopted the following rosolation, in view of whint the Fina kerk is now Tube

"That it is desirable, so far as circumstances permit, to secure creater uniformi yi-the Com-

laws of the Empire, and that the memer- Basslysis prepared on this subject by the Imperial Government .be commended to the consideration of the various Goveruments represented at this Conference."

The

memorandum and analysis was prepared by Mr. George Stopylton Harnes, Comptroller of the Companies Department, who discussos. the difficulties in the way of the assimilation of the lowe rolating to joint stock companies various parts of the Empire. In some respects they are not very great, because the laws of the Colonies are, to a considerable extent, based ou thome of the United Kingdom.

"It is not difficult to understand the reverenco i and affection in which Dr. Joaobin has been he'd over by the musical public.
