ADDENDA.

Page 18.-Bankrupt shareholders. The Author believes that the petition by a bankrupt shareholder was in one case allowed under special circumstances, but finds that the case is not reported. Primá facie a bankrupt cannot petition.

Page 26, line 11.-It is stated that this affidavit is not required. The Author submits that without it in a country case there might not be evidence that the papers in which the advertisements are inserted are those required by Rule 2. For this reason, and as having seen it used in practice, he has thought it better to retain the text and the form at page 223.

Page 109, line 11 from bottom, and page 120, 1st line. See opinion_expressed in The Hatfield Cash Company (11 W. R. 971). That however was a case under the Act of 1856.

ERRATA.

Page 22, line 12 from bottom, for "in one or" read "once in." 98, line 12 from bottom, after "advertised" read "if so directed."

114, line 5 from top, for " of the insertion of" read “the papers containing.'

215, lines 8 and 16 from top, for "Company's" read "Companies."

364, between sects. 198 and 199, add "PART VIII."

ERRATA-continued.

Page 49 line 8, from top, after "attend," read "at the expense of the

estate."

149, line 7 from top, for "Company," read "contributories."

112, line 12 from top, and page 181, line 14. It is doubtful whether this proposition is not put too broadly. Compare ss. 38 and 101. At present the question what set off can be allowed in the case of a limited Company, and, if any, when and how, is unsettled.

403. The first part of Rule 56 has been accidentally omitted.

"56. The 48th, 49th, 50th, 51st, 52nd and 55th Rules of the 35th of the Consolidated Orders shall apply to all certificates of the Chief Clerk, in the matter of the winding up of any Company; nevertheless," &c.
