THE COMPANIES ACT, 1867.

Saturday, the 21st day of March, 1868.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE HUGH MACCALMONT BARON CAIRNS, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, with the advice and consent of the RIGHT HONOURABLE JOHN LORD ROMILLY, Master of the Rolls, the HONOURABLE the VICE-CHANCELLOR SIR JOHN STUART, and The HONOURABLE the VICE-CHANCELLOR SIR RICHARD MALINS, Doth hereby, in pursuance and execution of the powers given to him by "The Companies Act, 1867," and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf, Order and direct in manner following :

PETITIONS FOR WINDING-UP.

1. Every petition which shall after this order comes into operation be presented for the winding-up of any company by the Court, or subject to the supervision of the Court, and all notices, affidavits, and other proceedings under such petition, shall be intituled in the matter of "The Companies Acts, 1862 and 1867," and of the company to which such petition shall relate.

PETITION TO REDUCE CAPITAL.

2. Every petition for an order confirming a special resolution for reducing the capital of a company, and all notices, affidavits, and other proceedings under such petition, shall be intituled in the matter of "The Companies Act, 1867," and of the company in question.

3. No such petition as mentioned in the 2nd rule of this order shall be placed in the list of petitions by the Secretary of the Lord Chancellor or of the Master of the Rolls, as the

case may be, until after the expiration of eight clear days from the filing of such certificate as is mentioned in the 14th rule of this Order.

4. When any such petition as last aforesaid has been presented, application may be made, ex parte by summons in chambers, to the judge to whose Court the petition is attached, for directions as to the proceedings to be taken for settling the list of creditors entitled to object to the proposed reduction, and the judge may thereupon fix the date with reference to which the list of such creditors is to be made out, pursuant to the 13th section of the Companies Act, 1867; and may, either at the same time or afterwards, as he shall think fit, give such directions as are mentioned in the 5th and 6th rules of this Order. The order upon such summons may be in the form No. 1 in the schedule hereto, with such variations as the circumstances of the case may require.

5. Notice of the presentation of the petition shall be published at such times and in such newspapers as the judge shall direct, so that the first insertion of such notice be made not less than one calendar month before the day of the date fixed as mentioned in the 4th rule of this Order.

7. The person making such affidavit shall state therein his belief that such list is correct, and that there was not at the date so fixed as aforesaid any debt or claim which, if that date were the commencement of the winding-up of the company, would be admissible in proof against the company, except the debts set forth in such list, and shall state his means of knowledge of the matters deposed to in such
