(a) Railway companies subject to the restrictions of the special act (8 Vict. c. 16, s. 38), and by an order of a general meeting, are empowered to borrow money by mortgage or by bond upon the security of the undertaking, and the future calls of the shareholders; and also to reborrow if any mortgage or bond be paid off. These mortgages or bonds must be by deed, and be also stamped with the same stamps as are required in ordinary mortgages, the forms of which are prescribed by the act, and must be under the common seal of the company (see stat. 8 Vict. c. 16, schedule (C.) (D.) as in the above precedent.

Under assurances of this nature the respective mortgagees shall be entitled, one with another, to their respective proportions of the tolls, sums, and premises comprised in such mortgage, and to the future calls of the shareholders, if comprised therein, according to the respective sums in such mortgage mentioned to be advanced by such mortgagees respectively; and to be repaid the sums so advanced with interest, without any preference one above another, by reason of the priority of the date of any such mortgage, or of the meeting at which the same was authorized: (sect. 42.) But although future calls on shares are mortgaged, the company may, nevertheless, receive and apply such calls: (sect. 43.)
