Stock certificates. By the National Debt Act, 1870, it is provided that a holder of British Government Stock may obtain a stock certificate; that is to say, a certificate of title to his stock or any part thereof, with coupons annexed, entitle in the bearer of the coupons to the dividends on the stock (s. 26); that a certificate shall not be issued in respect of any sum of stock not being 50l., or a multiple of 50l., or exceeding 1000l. (s. 28); that a trustee of stock shall not apply for or hold a stock certificate, unless authorized to do so by the terms of his trust (s. 29); that no notice of any trust in respect of any certificate or coupon shall be receivable (s. 30); that where a stock certificate is outstanding the stock represented thereby shall cease to be transferable in the Bank books (s. 31); that a tock certificate, unless a name is inscribed thereon, shall entitle the bearer to the stock therein described, and shall be transferable by delivery (s. 32).

Common stock or common hotchpot, the doctrine of throwing into common stock inevitably postulates that the owner of a separate property is a coparcener who has an interest in the coparcenary property and desires to blend his separate property with the coparcenary property. The existence of a coparcenary is absolutely necessary before a coparcener can throw into the common stock his self-acquired properties. The separate property of a member of a joint Hindu family may be impressed with the character of joint family property if it is voluntarily thrown by him into the common stock with the intention of abandoning his separate claim therein. The separate property of a Hindu ceases to be a separate property and acquires the characteristic of a joint family or ancestral property not by any physical mixing with his joint family or his ancestral property but by his own volition and intention by his waiving and surrendering his separate rights in it as separate property. The act by which the ...
