A fortnight before his appeal from a judgment of the High Court at Bombay, raising the question of the validity of resolutions passed at a meeting of the shareholders of the. Tata Industrial Bank, Ltd., of whom he was one, for voluntary winding- up and amalgamation with the Cen tral Bank of India, was dismissed. The board reserved the issuing of its reasons for the decision.

In answer to Lord Shaw, Sham- dasani said he had lodged a petition asking their lordships to arrest their report pending the disposal of the question whether the board bad jurisdiction to deal with the case.

Lord Shaw: This is a large com- pany with over a million shares. You and your brother have only 105 shares. I beg of you to consider whether it is not your duty to your scit and your brother to abstain from incurring further expense and putting others to expense.

Four-days' Speech.

Speaking with great vehemence, Shamdasani said he had no desire to protract litigation or incur fur- ther costs. He was acting on the inspiration of Almighty God.

Lord Shaw: The question of jurisdiction has not been raised be- fore..

-Shamdasani: The board simply talking nonsense. I say that with the utmost respect. I am here even to be penalised if necessary.

are

He added that in the last mo- ments of his life Lord Cave called attention to an error in`s judgment given by the committee.

Refusing the application to arrest the report, Lord Shaw said Sham- dasani had been heard for four days, speaking with great knowledge of the whole circumstances. He had now discovered, according to his own view, that the jurisdiction of the board to try that case had to be assailed. Their Lordships could not listen to such a proposition.

THE TYPEWRITER

THAT INTERESTED

H. M. THE KING.

WHY?

Because, not only was it British, but it was proved to be better and cheaper than Foreign-made typewriters.

HOW?

Not only the Home, Dominions and Colonial Governments, but also the Swedish Government hare decided to replace Foreign-made typewriters by the "Imperial."

BECAUSE

As the result of open competition they were proved better and cheaper. Leading Firms in Britain, Australia, S. Africa and Canada are doing the same.

The

" IMPERIAL" TYPEWRITER

is a typewriter no Firm that values "Efficiency and Economy should fail to inspect, and the stricter the in- vestigation, the more surely will its overwhelming superiority be proved.
