Excerpt from Reports of Cases Decided by the English Courts: With Notes and References to Kindred Cases and Authorities Lord Belhaven was not to be considered a shareholder. Yet here Lord Justice Gifi'ard has, notwithstanding the strong cir cumstances of this case, treated Dixon as a shareholder, and has held that he has not been released from liability as such. It Is submitted that these facts, that the conditions on which alone he consented to accept shares were not complied with, that he never executed the deed of settlement, and that he never inter fered in any way in the affairs of the company, were an answer to any pretence to treat Dixon as a shareholder; but that even if he had ever borne that character he had been duly released from it, and that the cancellation of his shares, well known to the shareholders by being published tu the balance-sheet of the company had been acquiesced in for years, an acquiescence which was binding on the company itself.
