Court of Chancery or Exchequer in Ireland may in any suit order transfers to be made of stock, or issue injunctions to restrain transfers, &c. without making the Bank of Ireland a party, &c. on production of certificate from the Bank that such stock stands in their books.
|
[1.] It shall be lawful for his Majesty's courts of Chancery and Exchequer in Ireland, before or upon hearing any cause depending therein respectively, to order the governor and company of the Bank of Ireland to suffer a transfer of any stock standing in their books, whether the same be any government stock or the stock of the said Bank of Ireland, to be made, or to pay any accrued or accruing dividends thereon, belonging to or standing in the name or names of any party to a suit, as such courts may deem just, or to issue an injunction to restrain them from suffering any transfer of such stock, or from paying any dividends or interest accruing or accrued thereon, although such governor and company are not or shall not be parties to the suit in which such decree or order shall be made, such courts being satisfied by the certificate of the accountant of the said corporation duly signed by him, as herein-after is directed, that the stock required to be transferred is standing in their books, in the name of the persons or person required to transfer the same, or of the persons or person to whom they or he are or is the legal representative; and that after due service of a short order upon the said governor and company or their proper officer, which shall contain no recital of the pleadings or other matter than the title of the cause and the ordering part of such decree or order with respect to the said governor and company, like process shall issue to enforce such order or decree as to enforce them against any party to a suit depending in such court.
