In re Sharp: 1845

(Year?) Cotton LJ discussed a power to invest ‘upon the debentures or securities of any railway or other public company’ and said:- ‘It is true that he refers to railway companies, but he also adds, ‘or any other public company’; and I think it would be a wrong interpretation of the will to say that those words, because they follow the reference to railway companies, must be confined to companies similar to them or to companies incorporated in the same way as railway companies are, namely, by special Act of Parliament.’
