International Contract Co. (lim.) und
Accidental Marine
et
Insurance Corporation. (lim.)
2 circulars recently issued by the Liquidators of these 2 bankrupt Cos.
The Internat. Contract Co. started mit nominal capital of 4 Mill. £. St., in 80,000 shares, small proportion paid up auf die 50£ share, so leaving enormous contingent liability. This practically unlimited liability of the shareholders seemed to afford ample security to credulous creditors; and, if all the shares had been applied for and allotted to bona fide shareholders, it might have been so. We see now the true value of this enormous nominal Capital and unlimited liability. Co. was only a few months in operation before it collapsed, and claims already sent it in to the official liquidator nearly 2 Mill. £. St. Of these claims only a portion as yet adjudicated upon, result that upwards of £165,000 will rank as proofs, leaving a sum of upwards of £1,761,000 still to be litigated and proved. Director claims to a large amount by the Peruvian Railways Co., now in liquidation; the London Wharves and Wharehouse Co., now also in liquidation; und claim of more than 1/2 Mill. £ St. by Edward Pickering (who, it seems, likes to pick), the managing director of the Co! These latter claims, the liquidators state, arise upon „certain fictitious operations“ in connection with the Peruvian Railway Co. and others. Besides these claims the Co. Defendants in 5 Chancery suits, instituted by the Peruvian Railway Co. and others, under which there are certain alleged liabilities for indemnity and otherwise. The whole sum at present collected under the winding up accounts no more than £10,000. The list of contributories has been settled, and 229 persons, holding 38,663 shares, representing £1,540,000 capital, have been fixed as liable. But the liquidators say that, „having regard to the number of contributories who are but the nominees of certain of the directors or promoters of the Co., and to the fact that many of the remaining contributories are not in a position to meet their liabilities, they cannot hope that more than £70,000 or £80,000 will be raised by calling up the whole of the remaining capital.“ A list of persons liable as past members about to be filed, aber bevor dieß settled, liquidators consider it impossible to form any estimate of the amount realisable from calls upon this class of contributories.
In the case of the „Accidental Marine and Insurance Corporation“, the liability of past members the question embarrassing both liquidators and creditors. Creditors can only expect very moderate dividend, in addition to that already declared. Amount of unpaid capital upon the shares transferred during the 12 months prior to the commencement of the winding up is £80,250. Of this £16,340 is considered good, £24,090 doubtful, und £39,620 wholly bad. Liquidators therefore estimate value of the list of past members von £15 to 25,000£, whilst the claims actually admitted £197,077, and those still pending will amount to £50,000 more. Schwierigkeiten mit past members. Ihre liability confined (von jedem derselben) to the debts which had actually accrued at the time they ceased to be members. Ferner: At whose expense these proceedings necessary to establish the liability of past members to be conducted. Many of the creditors (deren Forderung von später datirt) no interest in enforcing the liability of past members. Endlich past members only liable to contribute to the extent of the amount remaining unpaid upon the shares they had held after proof that the present holders und any intermediate holders have been exhausted, and are absolutely unable to pay more. Daher cost of litigation würde alles auffressen. Die Liquidators bemerken: „There has not hitherto been a single instance of this past liability having been actually enforced, in the winding up of a Co. under the Act of 1862, and in most, if not in all the cases where an attempt to do so is now being made, there exists considerable difficulty in assessing and enforcing such liability, whilst it is certain that in this as in every other case the attempt to enforce it will involve the liquidation in very considerable expense and litigation.“

Credit Foncier of England, hieß 2 years ago the Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England, paid at the outset fabulous dividends. Adverse Rumours then, shares fell continuously. In July, 1866, 20£ share reduced to £10, with £9 paid up instead of £5, £2 p. share being taken from the reserve fund, and £1 being paid up in cash. Subsequently £1 paid. Thus no further liability. The necessity of the last call explained at meeting of 25 Feb. 68 when shown that capital of Co. locked up in undermentioned investment:

Shareholders have paid £8 p. share on 200,000 shares, zusammen £1,600,000, against invested in legitimate Joint Stock undertakings £1,889,000, aber diese investments not realisable at anything approaching the original cost, owing to the glut of shares and universal distrust in market. The 10£ share now fallen to 3£.|
