Mr Levett, K.C. (with him Mr. W. H. Up John, K:C., and Mr. G Laurence), in support of the appeal, asked that the order of Mr. jus tica Farwell should be reversed, on! In the alternative, that directions should be given sa as to ascertain the real wishes of the company in the matter. In the proceedings before Mr..) Justice Joyce there was a claim for damages, but the learned Judge declined to deal with it. He, however, reserved to the company, or any one else concerned, the right to bring a to the liability created in that action. The pro- separate action to recover damages, pursuant moters in this case, had bought the company for £375,000, and sold it for £1,00 1,000, anıl the present action was brought to recover from the defendants the £600,000 they had obtained as a profit. The learned counsel said he could make out a clent case of fraud. He had gotable, except for subscribers in Europe of

evidence, which was not, before the learned Judge, that every one of the directors who passed the resolution in question took a share in the plunder.

Mr. Jenkins, KC, for the company, said that there was no evidence of that at all.
