The Calcutta Weekly Notes Monday June 5 1944

So far as the Speaker of the House of Commons is concerned it may be that the mace is not only the visible symbol of his authority but also one of the accoutrements of his office without which he cannot execise the office at all. [...] “ Standing upon the upper step leading to the chair the Speakeelect returns his humble acknowledgments to the House for the great honour which it has conferred upon him after which he sits down in the chair and the mace which has hitherto lain under the table is placed upon the table of the House.” It may therefore be said that the mace is the staff with which the Speaker wields his author [...] But the so-called mace of the Speaker of the Bengal Legislative Assembly is no part of the constitutional appendages of his office. [...] The question as to what is legal tender is nothipg to the point for Mat only relates to the form of the money in which the tender is made and not to the suffciency of the tender or its accordance with the dues. [...] 153B of the Companies Act where there is a scheme or contract for one Company to buy shares of another Copany and the offer of the transferee Copany has been accepted by a three-fourths majority the transferee Company may copulsorily buy up the share of the dissenting minority unless the Court otherwise directs.
