Lord Buckmaster.-

Five judgments are challenged by these consolidated appeals.

1. A judgment of the Divisional Court of the Eastern Province of the Gold Coast Colony, dated the 1st April 1922, ordering the appellant to pay £10,062 10s 0d to a company known as the African Products, Limited, who are respondents to the main appeal.

2. A judgment of the Full Court dated 3rd November 1923, dismissing the appellant's appeal from (1).

3. A judgment of the Divisional Court of 27th January 1925, refusing to set aside the dissolution of the said Company which had been ordered on the 2nd June 1922.

4. A judgment of 30th January 1925, refusing leave to appeal against the order of 27th January 1925.

5. A decision of the Full Court refusing leave to appeal from (4).

As leave to appeal has been given against all these judgments, it follows that the judgments of 1st April 1922 and 27th January 1925, are the only ones material, for the others are consequential upon these. The foundation of the whole dispute lies in the facts underlying the judgment of 1st April 1922 and; they need careful examination.

In July 1918 the appellant, who was at that time in the Gold Coast, promoted and caused to be incorporated
