XIII. In the case of any company which has obtained a certificate of limited liability, whenever, on taking the yearly accounts of such company, or by any report of the auditor thereof, it appears that three fourths of the subscribed capital stock of the company has been lost, or has become unavailable in the course of trade, from the insolvency of shareholders, or from any other cause, the trading and business of such company shall forthwith cease, or shall be carried on for the sole purpose of winding up its affairs; and the directors of such company shall forthwith take proper steps for the dissolution of such company, and for the winding up of its affairs, either by petition to the Court of Chancery, or by exercise of the powers of the deed of settlement, or by such other lawful course as they may think most fit.

XIV. In cases where a certificate of registration with limited liability has been obtained, when one auditor only shall have been appointed under the thirty-eighth section of the Act of the eighth of Victoria, chapter one hundred and ten, that single auditor, and when two or more such auditors shall have been so appointed then one of such auditors, shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Trade, and such board in case the auditor submitted to them for approval shall for any reason appear unfit or objectionable shall appoint another in his place.

XV. Every pecuniary penalty imposed in pursuance of this Act shall be deemed a debt due to the Crown, and shall be recoverable accordingly.
