tion in a company's memorandum of Association. It is tolerably well known, however, that in s controversy between board of directors and individual shareholders it is always, ten to one on the directors, bicked up, as they usually are, by proxies, blindly given by those who, notbers knowing how to take care of their own interests cling fondly, to the belief that the directors will watch over them in a spirit of lofty disinterestedness. The truth is, that if company cannot carry out its original pro- gramme, it would, in nine cases out of ten, be best that its existence should come to an end particularly when it is remembered that a new company can always be, formed to attain new objects. What we have said applies not merely to a general Bill, but also to any special Bill which the directors of companies may hereafter

be encouraged to promote. All such measures should be very narrowly scrutinised when they come up for discussion.
