The old commission IIiNORM& 131.:f have expired in a very short period under the lalsoll 11 ,r. 93, by which its duration was limited to see year from August, foil, and therefore the Chancellor's writ was meetly a formal act. The following 14 gentlemen are ap pointed, only nee of their number having belonged to the twiner commission Jehb, Esq., chairman ; Sir John Fot Burgoyne, C. 8., Major Robert Kemsley Davrun,R.E., Thorns, Hawes, Ems, Captain J.

(official referee under the Metrop olitan iliiiiilings Act), Henry Arthur Hunt, Esq., Lawrence ke.thead, Eaq., and G. Spencer Smith, Esq. By an set puled :oohof June, 18.52, the old Metropolitan Sewers Act is continued until the 7th of August, 18:i3, with the following ireportant alteration with respect to the rating powers of the commission, and the burden of the sewer rate upon land devoted to agricultural purposes: " Notwithstanding the pmvi s i one o f th e sa id Mrstly- men tioned act (11 & 12 ictor,i, chap. 112), the occupiers of say land used as orthle, meadow, or pasture ground only, or as woodland, orchard, market garden, hap, herb, flower, fruit, or surgery ground, which may be rateable to soy district sewers' rate, told , r the said tirstly-mentioned act, or any set amending or siia • iiilliaSt the same, shall, in and for any such district sewers rate made after the paring of this act, be assessed and charged in respect of such land in the proportion of one fourth only of the not annual value thereof." (The net annual value to be ascertained as provided by the said first recited act.) The rateable value of lands and tene ments is at present determined by the commission according Pi the poor's rate easseement. The second clause in the set provides an increased power of rating to the cont. sei•sion as follows: "So much of the said thirdly men. limed act as provides that no rate or rates amounting to more than threepence in the pound shall be made by the caul commisrioners, shall be, and the same is hereby re paled, and in lieu thereof it shall be and is hereby pro vali d, that notwithstanding anything contained to the con trary in the said acts or either of them, the district sewers ran 'hail not exceed in any one year the sum of sixpence in the pound of the net annual value of the property rateable thereto." This increased power is of material importance ti the efficiency of the commission, as it was found that a tl , reepri.ny rate was not sufficient for the necessary works or expenditure, and consequently the commiasioaers were oldiged to a great many useful officers, and to sus- Pend a vast number of important operations, the plan for tbe "neral drainage of London being quite out of the quee bun without siiinC increased power. .Nl.t.tOß BEItESFORD, M.P..—Wo arc requested to Pate that the repast of the probable appointment of Major 1, .

THE OUTRAGES AT STOCKPORT. The investigation berme the magistrates in these men was reesmed yesterday. Up to Sitter& whet • great number of the prisonen tied base di , • aste eiest ems was thought to be made oat against seven of the Irish sad Haman catholic: prisosers, and they were cosi untied Ise trial at the Chester anises. These men, seven in number, were removed to Chaster Castle, to await their trials, ea Tuesday. Their sasses are : Themes Phaeney, Patrick O'Hare, Eager end Michael /Filmset, Thomas Murphy, Thomas Uarney, said Patrick Naughteu. James Flak, sad James Walsh, whom the manistrates (supposing them to be in custody) had committed along with the above arced primmer., were found to have taken advantage of their liberation on bail to abscond. I - - - - The rcsaaiaiog prisoners still in custody for further ez.l amination yesterday, were English proteatants, and their namee are: William Buttery, George Pell, Sam uel Ito*, Henry Rhodes, Samuel Preston, Mark Oleave, George Parry, Thomas Walker, llenry Ashton, John Slater, Thomu Edwards, Samuel Wiltiamson, and Joseph Birch. Another prisoner, Hamlet Halms, who had been out un hail, and had surrendered, is a young man of respectable family, and son of the late Mr. Otho thane, dyer, near Manchester. William and George Walker also surrendered to a warrant which hail been taken out against them. Mr. Saunders, barrister, addressed the Court at consi derable length on behalf of Rhodes, Pell, Boyle, and But tery, who were charged with despoiling St. Michael's chapel, and pointed out some discrepancies in the evidence. He then called the following witnesses for the prisoners : Wm. Cadman, fishmonger, .on of George Cadman, one of the police-officers, said : Ou the night of the riot l saw the prisoner Hoyle, about `J o'clock, at the Court•houst. I asked him what he was thing, and he said he nu come to assist the police. I spoke to my father, and a gaff was given to him. I was wth norm near the Court-house till the military came, about 10 o'clock. I have known him sin months, and he has borne a goal character. By Mr. Oitioan—l came to t h e Court-house to ace after my father, as I was told he was killed. My father gave the staff to me to give to Hoyle, without seeing him. Itoyle was near the Court-house until 12 o'clock, except that we accompanied the military to Rock-row, and afterwards returned. We also went to Edgeley Chapel, after the military had gone there. Si one else accompanied us. Itnyle and I returned from Edgeley direct to the Court. house. We bad our staves. Boyle remained at the Ccurt house five minutes, and then said he should go home. It was a little after 12 o'clock, hut in flee or ten minutes ho was brought in a prisoner. 14 Mr. Henry hlarsland (magistrate)—We left Edgeley because we were told to go home ' as everything was quiet. The sergeant of the soldiers told us to go away. I was at Edgeley Chapel ten minutes. My staff was in my pocket all the time. _ The witness further stated that he bad his staff out once before he saw !Coyle, hot never afterwards, and Moyle never had his staff out. Rojo was very yedeesble that night. William Wild, general dealtr, in Lower Mitigate, was then called by Mr. Saunders n behalf of Rhodes. Ile said —On the night of tie riot I was in Merchant's-court, about twenty minutes past 12. 1 saw Rhode. running into the I'ark Chapel just before me Ile went in with the pressure of the crowd atter the police. Mr. Whalley and the officers and several others composed the crowd, which was not the mnh. The officers went in rind, and then Rhodes followed William Ciaskell in, close upon his heels. Gaskell made a sort of stumble arnengst the timber, and the lad (Rhodes) had nearly fallen on him et the Wile time. Then Ciaskell laid hold of 'theta.% by the arm, and said," You have been ' 1 breaking the windous, and I'll take you to the police office." I and to Gasket', " You are wrung ; the lad has done no thing." Several persons celled out to let him go, as they said tithed done nothing. 1 called out, "No rescue," sr the people seemed as if they would attempt to liberate him. I said, " Let him go to the Court-house, and then those who have net seen him do anything elm follow him, andlispeak for him there." I went to the Court-hoe, myself. 1 saw Mr. Sadler, who had him in custody. Mr. Sadler told me to come next morning. I cannot gay wlietlicr Waken was sober or not, but ho was very much excited. He was leaning against some palisades over a cellar for nearly 10 minutes. By Mr. Gibson—l had been in Merchant's-court a quar ter of an hour before the police caine. When I got to the chapel Mr. lindsos was at the safe. The g as was I lighted in the chapel at that time. I did not see any tumult when I got there, except that I saw something large come through the window. I did not go any further at that time. It would be threedparters of an hour after this before Longman and the others went into the chapel, as I have stated. I had not seen Rhodes be fore that night. 1 did not see that Rhodes bed a constable's staff. When I went first a man was breaking the windows in Nelson street, bat they were already broken, and Mr. Whalley run him out of the street. He was breaking the windows with a pule 14 feet in length. Several people seemed very much excited on witnessing the demolition of property. I first saw Mr. Sadler at the bottom of Park-etrmt. William Burgiss, labourer, raid—l saw Longvon and Walker, the police officers, go into the chapel, after twelve o'clock. I wont to the door and looked in. I saw William Gaskell and Henry Rhodes there. °sakell went in first, and Rhodes went in immediately afterwards. I saw neither of them do anything but walk up the side. Gaskell turned round and seised Rhodes, saying, " You are ono who was breaking windows." Ciaskell brought him outside the door, and I said, " Vow are wrong, this boy has done nothing." He gave him into Inspector Walker's charge. Many persons said they had seen him do nothing. Gas kell appeared to me very much the worse for liquor, and it is not the first time I have seen him so. By Mr. Gibson.—lt is only eight or nine yards from the door to the altar. I was six or seven yards from Uaskell when he seised Rhodes. There wus no noise at the time. I have often been in liquor, but cannot estimate how often. I was sober at the time I speakof. Isaiah Talkington, joiner, was at the Catholic chapel in Park-street a little after twelve on the night of the riot, and saw Rhodes, Wyld, and Oaskell go into the chapel. (laskell was rather in front of Rhodes. °ashen brought Rhodes into the street, and people avid the latter bad done nothing, calling out that Wake!l was drunk. Rhodes was given into the custody of Walker. John Penny, lock-up keeper at the county gaol, Stock port, said-1 saw Claskell at the Vernon Anus, getting a glass, at twenty minutes to twelve on the night of the not. He was tipsy. By Mr. Gibson—Mr. Gibson charged me with listening when he was examining the prisoners. By the Mayor—l was not listening. (Laughter.) By Mr. Saunders—The prisoners were in my custody. George Cadman, police officer, said he saw Oaakell at the Vernon Arms, and he paid for • glass of ale both fermium. and himself. Gaskell was fresh, but would know what he was doing. Mary Thorpe, servant at the Grove Inn—Oeorge Pell was at that hones, on the night of the riot, about ten o'clock and until a quarter past eleven.

MYSTERIOUS CASE.—Yesterday Mr. Waldey held a lengthened inquiry at the Sir Isaac Newton, York-street, Union-street, Foley-place, touching the death of Mr. David Lewis, aged 35, a master tailor, melding at No. 6. York street. The housekeeper of the deceased deposed that he was a married man, but had lived for same time separated from his wife. On Monday morning last deceased came home at a little before six o'clock. He was not quit* sober, bat walked into the passage and ap stairs to his room very steadily. He had nut been there lore g when he became sick, and vomited considerably, • complaining of a fall he had suffered. He did not say that he had been ill used. He had gone out between five and six o'clock on the Sunday evening for a walk, and was sway all night. About a quarter to one in the afternoon witness went fora me dical man, but deceased died before his arrival. Thomas ' Lewis, the deceased's brother, said he was with him at the Feathen, in Oxford-street, at about half-past one on Monday morning. The deceased went outside, and in a minute or so the potmen cams running in and told witness his brother had been struck by some man. Witness instantly went out, and found deceased lying bleeding on the pavement ; he then pursued and overtook the assailant, seized him, and, meet ing with two policemen, told them the circumstances, but they missed to detain the man, remarking, " You are all a drunken lot, get away with you." and the man escaped. Mr. Osage Newington, of 26, Nassau -street, surgeon, said he had made • post morteas examination of the body. There was a large Sarre sufficient to admit the hand on the right side of the head, and extending down towards the left ear. There were from six to eight ounces of extravasated blood spread around; and there was also au extensive lacera tion of the brain snakiest to admit the ends of four fingers. The skull was a very thin one. The Coroner said that it was a most extraordinary thing, and one he had never sues equalled in the whole course of his experience, that a man suffering from injuries sufficient instantly to kill a dozen men should walk bonze in his senses, and remain so up to the time of his death, without ever showing the least symptom of such fatal hurts. Under all the circumstancts, the safest course would be an open verdict. The jury consulted for some time, and eventually returned • verdict to the effect " That deceased died from laceration of the brain, mould by violence, but that how such violence was produced there was no evidence to show." The conduct of the police, which Lail been freely com mented on, was not referred to, as there was ao corrobora tive evidence, and deceased's brother admitted not being quite sober at the time. DEPARTURE OF THE STEAM SHIP PACIFIC.—At ten o'clock yesterday forenoon the United States mail steam ship Pacific, Nye, cemaseader, left Liverpool (or New York direct with swards of 100 passengers, • full cargo of fine goods (a large portion of French manufacture), and the semi-weekly mails for the United States, Canada, New foundland, sad the other British North American pro vinces.

The Fire Queen, steam Teasel, is to be com missioned, and to be placed in attendance on her Imperial Highness the Duchess, now staying in the Me of Wight. The Mersey, 26, Am been broken up at this port, and the Venetian, 22, will be brought into the vacant dock on Fri day, fee the same purpose. The Sprightly, steum-v esse l, sailed this afternoon for Plymouth and Cork with super numeraries. ORPBAN WORKING SCHOOL,—Yeeterday, a special general court of the governors of the corporation was held at the offices, 32, Ludgate-street, to consider the terms of a proposed enfranchisement of the copyhold property of the corporation, situate at Haverstock-bill, and if thought beneficial to authorise the trustees to effect it, and to vest the property when enfranchised in the corporation ; also to consider an agreement entered into by the corporation for building upon the City road estate. Thomas S. Coombs, Esq., the treasurer, presided. The chairman read the re port of the general committee, which stated that this nego tiation with Lord Southampton fur the redemption of the copyhold part of the Ravel-stock-hill estate bad resulted in ati:sgreement by which that property, including the ground to be ,et foe building purposes, was to be enfranchised on payment of the sum of 4501., and Lord Southampton, who had throughout met the committee in the kindest spirit, had promised from the warm interest he took in the charity to subscribe 250 guineas as soon as the business should be concluded, to secure to himself the right of a life presenta tom to the school. When the land was enfranchised it would be let out in building leases, so as to make it avail stile to the largest extent to the purposes of the charity. The committee also reported that they lied concluded an agree mint with Mr. T. Clark to erect fifty-three houses on the estate of the corporation in the City-road, and to grant him a true of the same for seventy-two years at a pepper corn for the first year, 651. for the second, and 1851. for each succeeiliki year of the tern.—Resolutions authorising the trustees to carry out both agreements were passed, ' and after the thanks of the court had been voted to Lord f3outhemp ton Mr. Mann, who had conducted the negotiation with his lordship, and to the chairman of the day, the court broke up. DOGGETT% COAT AND BADOE.—Owing to the let of August falling on Sunday next, the annual contest for the livery and badge bequeathed by Doggett, of facetious memory, will take place on the next day.

NATIONAL EXHIBITION, COWL—The number of visitors at the Exhibition on Monday reached its maximum fur the season, being 4,304. Of these 680 were season ticket holders, and 3,724 paid the sixpenny fee, making the receipts nearly 1001. The Exhibition appears to be doing some good. The Earl of Laneaborough, who visited it during the past week, was so much struck with the besot of the Arbutus table, manufactured by Mr. Egan, of Kil larney, that he directed a similar one to be maim for him and forwarded to his London residence. The shamrock table, manufactured by Mr. Fletcher, Patrick-street, has Seen purchased by the Lord Lieut enant, and will be for warded to Dublin Castle at the close of the Exhibition.— Cork DISTRIBUTION OP THE EXHIBITORS' MEDAL! FOR Vie GREAT EXHIBITION.—A meeting of the Manchester local committee and exhibitors was held yesterday after noon to consider the circular recently issued by the Royal Commissioners, asking for an opinion as to how the medals and copies of the jurors' reports which it is proposed to give to the exhibitors, should be distributed in Manchester or in London. The attendance was not very large. Mr. En twistle occupied the chair, and commenced the proceedings by some observations laudatory of the proceedings of the consioissionen. Mr. Caird issoidered that, as the medals would be merelT an acknowlodgmentetwhat they had done, and no great prize, the eseessary eandivery wdl perform the duty of distribution.-11 vegans ar m aimed Whitehead, conceived that the memo wawa involve a greater expense, and thalami The iloansan considered. that no additional expo/ miall mine Is the exhibitors, as he understood the slider hue the Royal Commis sioners.—Mr. Malcolm Bea said when the exhibitors pro.

THE Cuors IN GLOUCESTERSIIIRE.—Touching the crops, we have little to my on the mournful side of the matter. Excepting that a few fields of the heavier wheat crop have been a little laid by the storms which have par tially visited this neighbourhood, the crops were never in finer order. The wheat is fast putting on the golden hue so popular with painters and poets, the waving barley fields are turning yellow, the beans are black with pods, and all nature looks bright and smiling.—Olorcerrer Journal. TlFrsillount ELECTION.—We are in a position to state (says the Nora end South Mid& Goodie), and we are cure it will be a source of satisfaction to a large number of the inhabitants of Shields, that a numerous end influ ential body of the independent electors in the borough of Tynemouth have determined to fully investigate the dis graceful circumstances attending ge return or the tory member for that borough. They h • already subscribed a considerable sum of money and handsome offers of support have been made by th e li berals an neighbouring towns. Very startling disclosures of bribery and corruption have, it is said, been made, which will be laid before an eminent barrister at an early day, when action wiU be taken at once. The subject will be probed to the bottom. TILE LONGEST TUNNEL IN TUE WORLD.—Ons of the longest, if nut the longest, tunnel in the tread, ia now in a forward state of completion. It is situated in Hun gary. and leads from the shores of the River Oran, not far from Zarnowitz, to the mines in the Sehemnitser hills ; it is two geographical, or about ten English, miles long. It is intended to answer the double purpose of a channel to drain off the water accumulating in the works and of a railway to transport the ore from the minas to the firm.. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JULY 28. The only Irish elections which remained to be de cided were those for Tyrone and Donegal, and the returns received this morning set all doubts on the subject of these at rest. Ihe numbers at the final close of the poll fur Tyrone, last evening, stood as follows : Lord Claude Hamilton 3,233 Mr. H. L. Corry 3,269 Captain Higg:rn, 979 And for Donegal the first day's polling yesterday gave the following numbers : E. M. Cum,lry Sir E. Ha es P. T. C. Johnstone It is plain that as matters now stand a liberal candidate had no chance in either of these counties; but it was well to hoist the popular standard, and it is hoped that on no very distant occasion the tories will be made to earn a dearer victory, if they be not driven ultimately front the field. Accounts have reached town to-day that Colonel Bruen, the newly•elected tory member fur the county of Carlow, hair been attacked with apoplexy.' It is stated that ho was seized with the illness manic diately alter his return home from the election. Mr. Sharman Crawford has published an address " to the friends of tenant-right in Ireland, but espe cially to the tenant-right electors of the county of Down." This document, in the present critical state of that question, after suffering so many defeats iu localities where it was made the chief, or only popular hustings cry, will be looked to with some interest throughout the country, as the dictum of the teuant right Nestor, under important and peculiar circum stances. Of the Down election, Mr. Crawford says: We know by experience the after-working of this Land lord League, and that the free voice of the electors was stifled by the reckless application of coercion, intimidation, and unlawful violence in every possible form, put into action by landlord power, setting at defiance the constitution of the country and the laws of parliament, and outraging every true principle of public virtue, private honour, and truth, morality, and religion. The following insolent epistle from the relative and agent of Sir Richard Keane, brother of Lord Keane, and now a renegade 'slag, will servo as an instance of the sort of intimidation brought in sup port of the tories in the county of Waterford—and, tt may be added, in support of the landlord candi dates generally throughout Ireland : Ardmore, Yougbal, July 10, Dia. Lawrence Heffernan,—l hive heard with surprise that you were canvassed hy a Mr. Esmonde for your rote, and that you gave it to him. I wish now to inform you, that it is Sir Richard Kcane's intention not to keep any person on his estate •ho chooses to vote against hie interest; and if such be the case, I shall request you to meet me at my office next 'lhursday, to settle your account ap to the 25:11 March last, 18,52.—Y0ur obedient servant, L. G. F. Kasxz. It is remarkable nothing in the shape of a " hostile correspondence " has turned up in the progress of the Irish elections, with the ex'eption of an affair of that kind in Monaghan. It appears that after the nomi nation at the Monaghan election had concluded, Mr. Leslie, ono of the tory candidates, turned to Dr. Gray, the tenant-right candidate, and in the pre sence of the sheriff and several persona said, "Dr. Gray, I wish to state that you are no gentleman." Dr. Gray at once replied, " I will first fight the battle of the people; when that shall have terminated I will let you know whether or not I am a gentle man." There was no further notice taken of the matter till the close of the election on Saturday after noon, when Thomas Seaver, Esq. ' of Ileath Hall, as Dr. Gray's friend, waited on Mr. Leslie. The result may be gathered from the subjoined correspondence: " Westenra Arms, Saturday." " My dear Dr. Gray,—According to your wishes I called on Mr. Leslie to ask fur a retractation or explanation of the language used by him to you on the day of nomination, and was referred by him to Mr. Murdoch, who, hy-the-hy, in troduced himself to me as Mr. Leslie's law agent. On my expressing surprise that Mr. Leslie should not better an & rstand me, Mr. Murdoch then stated he was Mr. Leslie's law agent, but was there as his "friend." After a few words on the subject, he requested that I would state in writing what you had to complain of, which I did in note No. 1 ; and 1 now enclose you a copy of the correspondence which ensued.—Yours in haste, my dear Gray, ever truly, "Dr. Gray.

"Thomas Seaver, Esq." His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin held his an nual visitation of the dioceses of Dublin and Glende lagh yesterday, in St. Patrick's Cathedral. There was a large attendance of clergy, to whom his Grace delivered au eloquent and learned charge. The Cork liarbour Regatta commenced yesterday, but the greatest disappointment was felt at the with drawal that morning of the fleet from Cove. THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE FLEET FROM COVE. In reference to this unexpected measure the Cork EMIMail/ says :—" We have heard that the fleet, which was expected to have remained here during the regatta, and which was actually sent for that purpose, is under orders to leave to•morrow, the very day the regatta commences. Ws have also heard—but the circumstance is so monstrous, that, until we have further information, we must consider it absolutely incredible—that their departure is intended to be a punishment for the offence which the scenes attending the Cork election have given to the Derby government." An evening contemporary has the following remarks on the alter._ _ _ " The Channel fleet was recalled from its anchorage in the Tagus, in deference to the strongly pronounced national feeling, and the transfer of the squadron from Lisbon to Cork harbour was a movement that met with genera l applause. Yesterday, in the waters of Queen's Town, a regatta was to have begun, towards which her gracious Majesty had subscribed one hundred guineas. On the very eve of this aquatic festivity, which had been thus honoured with royal patronage, it is announced that orders have come from tho Admirelty for the instant departure of the whole naval force assembled there, as it was understood at the time of their arrival, to encourage the national exhi bition, as well as the natioual display of yachts. It is fur ther stated that such sudden withdrawa l is meant as a vin dictive and retaliatory blow aimed at the city and county which rejected Colouci Chatterton and Mr. Hudson. Scan &dons and disgraceful as has been the official abuse of authority in the dockyards for electioneering purposes, this last manifestation of arbitrary and tyrannical interference is the crowning display of the first lord's lofty spirit of misrule. He flings down the gauntlet to a whole people. The enjoyments of the Irish shall be banned at his bidding. There was a time when such things gained renown : Its Pere, of Northumberland A vow to Ood did make, That in the soottleti weeds three days Ills pleasure be would take. It is his pleasure just now that sport shall be spoiled in the Irish waters. Invested with giant power, he is resolved on the plenitude of its exercise; and the facility with which this last exploit has been achieved must have added to the gusto of official importance. The telegraphic wire con veyed the mandate, and the deed was done. Gulliver the Olivet was at no more trouble in drawing off the armada from the island of Blotches' into the ports of Lilliput. Should this order for the removal of the ships from Queens- town be the set of paltry vengeance it is stated to be by the Cork Esamirser, it wcro enough to fix on its responsible author ineffable ridicule, and 'licit the scorn of the whole country." A CHILD ACCIDENTALLY PolBoNED.—Yesterday Mr. Wm. Baker, deputy-coroner, held an inquest at the Amherst Arms, Kingsland, on the body of Stephen A. Curtis, two years' old, the son of a City merchant who has a country residence at Kingsland. On Moaday morning the child, while the servant's back was hinted, tasted a quantity of a poisonous mixture intended to kill cockroaches, from the effects of which he died in a few hours.

Baum: , P. nUTTON.--OPINTON DELIVERED BY TUE JUDO= ON TUX QUESTION OP LAW PROPOUNDED TO THEY BY THE HOUSE. In the E.rpreu of June 28 we gave a short report of the answer of the Judges to the question submitted to them by the house on the point then under discussion. The im portance of the point induces us to publish a more extended report of the opinions of these learned persons, as just pre sented to the house of Lords. The learned judges present at the hearing were Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Justice Maul,., Mr. Jus tice Wightman, Mr. Baron Platt, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Tallourd, Mr. Baron Martin, and Mr. Justice Crompton. QVESTION 61:1111ITTED TO TIM Jtbi.lS. A railway rompany was projected and provisionally regis tered by the promoters. A prospectus was con taining ali.tof the provisional coufinittec, which eunskted of more than sever, persons, appointed with their own con tent; in which prospectus it was proposed to establish • railway company, with a capital of 2,000.0001, in shares of 25/. each. A meeting of more than seven of the persons whose names had hien inserted in the prospectus as pro visional committee was held, at Is if rh a pros isional com mittee, and also • managing committee, were appointed, each consisting of more than seven pencils, nominated with their own consent. At that meeting it was resolved to establish the company, as proposed by the pmspectus, for constructing the railway therein mentioned, ar.ll to apply for an act ut parliament to establish such company, and to procure the necessary plans, Ike., fur that purpose. 5,000 shares were allotted to different persons, in various num ber., but 500 only were accepted by the allutteee. It was ultimately found to be impracticable to procure subscrip tions fur a sufficient number f sh.fres to enable the parties to carry the project into effect, and it was there fore, by an order under the Winding-up Act., ordered that the company should be dissolvel. Are the provisions of those nets applicable to this ease ? OVISIONT OF THE JUDOFS. Mr. Baron Parke—la answer to your lordships' question I have to state that we are of opinion that the persons who acted together fur the purpose of obtaining an act of parlia ment to make a railway in the manner therein stated were a company or association within the meaning of the Joint Stock Companies Winding-up Acts, 1818-1319, and that the 116501.1i11i0n of those persons may be dissolvs d and wound up under the directi in of the Court of Chancery, if that court consider that it is fit and proper that it should be so dealt with. The first of these two acts, 11 and 12 Vie., cap. 45, reciting the previous act of 7 and 8 Vie., cap. 111, and the Irish act 8 and 9 Vic., cap. 9a, and the 9 and 10 Vic., cap. 28, and the propriety of amending them, and giving further facilities for the dissolution and winding-up of joint-stock companies and partnerships, enacts that the act shall apply to all companies, corporate or incorporate, within the provisions of the two first-mentioned acts, to other companies not material to the present inquiry, and lastly to all companies, associations, and partnerships to be formed after the passing of that act, whereof the capital or the profits is or are divided, or to be divided, into shares, and such shares transferrable without the express consent of all the co-partners, and by section 2, to all assoti 'terns and companies formed for the purpose of working mines., and i benefit societies not certified and enrolled. By the inter pretutiou clause, the word " company " inch. act is to mean any partnership, association, or company, corporate or incorporate, to which the act applies. Tee Leidy of per sons or association in question is not within the litter part of the first section above reterred to, f.r it ha. no stock divisible into shares; whether it is within the former, 7 and 8 Vict., c. 111, is a more doubtful question. It clearly does not fall within the other act referred to, for it is an act con fined to Ireland. The 7 and 8 Vict., e. 111, comprises in it various companies. it embraces commercial or trading companies incorporated; this is not one. But it also applies to any company or body of persons associated together for commercial or trailing purposes to which pri vileges have been granted under 7 XS illiarn IV. and 1 Vice, c. 78, or which is registered provisionally or completely under 7 and 8 Viet., c. 110. Now this is not a company or body of persons associated together directly for commercial or trading purposes (if the malting of a railway be such a purpows, which may ho a question); the immediate object of this association is not the making of a railway but the obtaining r.n act to enable them to do so, after subscriptions hare been obtained, and a company has been formed ; but as the act speaks of such a body being provisionally registered as a condition, and • complete campaey practically never ii, the probable meaning of the section is, that a bt .1y of persons associated to obtain an act of nareament to . cable them to act as a company for commercial or trading purposes, whose ultimate though not immediate purpose is commer cial er trading, is within this act, and if so, it would be within the 11 and 12 Vice, e. 45, us Viet act is expressly made applicable to every company within the provision of the former act 7 and 8 Vice, c. 111. If the question de pended upon this company or association le ing within the 7 and 8 Viet., c. 111, we should have to decide whether the construction of a railway were a " commercial or trading purpose ;" but it is not necessary to du so. 1' is however material, 11.5 it seems, to show that an association of pro moters may be dealt with by the Court of Chancery, for the purpose of being wound up, if their object is to form a company for commercial or trading purpose... The statute 9 and 10 Viet., c. 28, shows this more clearly. It provides that persons or companies who, before that act, have en tered into • subscription contract, or any other agreement or agreements in writing or otherwise, for the formation of a company or partnership, for making soy railway which cannot be carried into effect without obtaining the autho rity of parliament, and in respect of which no act had been obtained to dissolve the company or partnership contract or agreement, whether or not such contract er agreement shall contain any provisions for the dissolution of the company or partnership intended to be thereby formed—this statute provides that it shall he lawful for the committee, provi sional directors, or other persons of such contract or agree ment, entrusted with the management or carrying on of the undertaking, to call a meeting, to ascertain if the com pany shall be dissolved, and whether such disso lution shall be deemed an act of bankruptcy, in which case the affairs of the company shall be wound up under the provision of the 7 & 8 Vic., c. 111, otherwise *sea ordinary partnenhip. No such proceeding appears to have been taken in the case supposed in your lordships' ques tions, and therefore that particular statute is not applicable to it. But the statute shows that an undertaking by pro jectors to form a future company is capable of being dealt with under 7 & 8 Vic., c. 111, as a company, and may have its affairs wound up and settled by the Court of Chancery under section 22 of that act if that company shall think fit. It does not follow that every case of projectors of an in tended company ought to be or would be so dealt with. This statute was followed by the 11 & 12 Vic, c. 45, which extended the operation of the prior winding-up acts, and gave the Court of Chancery the power on the application of a contributory, by petition to the Lord Chancellor or !die ter of the Rolla, to order the dissolution or winding.up of the company or association therein referred to, not merely in case of bankruptcy, but in case of insolvency or • judgment or a decree against the company unpaid, or on a proceeding by a creditor of the company, or if any other matter or thing should be shown which in the opinion of the court shall render it just and equitable that the company should be dissolved. This statute as has been before stated, does not in terms embrace this coca riany, unless it be a company or body of persons formed, for commercial or trading purposes, under 7 and el Vict., a. 111, and it contains many provisions which arc inapplicable except to regularly formed companies. In the ease of pro visional committees, or the projector of • company, it is now perfectly well settled law, and acted upon in every court of law in Westminster-ball, that there is no partner ship between them, no common power of binding each other merely by such a relation, each binds himself by his own acts only. There are, therefore, very few creditors of such a body collectively, though many of one, two, three, or Moro of the acting individuals who compose the committee Of are projectors, and so there may he • series of contracts to which there are different contributories, according as they have been authorised by different persons, very few binding all, and those only upon the rare accident of each individual authorising that particular contract. These in choate undertakings have generally no joint estate, effects, or credits, of which there can be a manager (11 and I'2 Vie., e. 45, sec. 19,20), the body cannot have a judgment or decree against the whole body, except in the rare cage that all the projectors have jointly contracted, ro that no proceedings could be taken under that statute, sect. 5, nor are there any contributeries of the entire corrpany, except in the extra ordinary ease of all having contracted, for contributories are those only who have contracted he themselves or agents with • creditor, or who have agreed to indemnity or repay, in part or in all, those who have contracted with the cre&- tor on their own account. We consider the law to have been most correctly laid down by Lord Cranworth in " Car rick's case" (1 Simon s N. C., 609). All the question.' of contributories resolve themselves into two simple questions of fact. First, by far the most frequent occurrence, did the alleged contributory make or authorise to be made the con tract in respect of which he is called on to contribute on his account jointly with others; or, secondly, if any one or more entered into the contract on his own or tiro it behalf, did he agree to indemnify the person or persons contracting in part or in all easiest the consequences of that contract/ The machinery of this act, 11 & 12 Vict. c. 45, is undoubt edly not well adapted to such a ease. This statute was followed up by 12 & 13 Viet. c. 108, easecal to amend the former. It is enacted, that notwithstanding at.ything in that act importing a more limited application thereoe the same shall apply to all partnership associations or compa nies whereof the partners or aesociates aro not less than seven in number, whether incorporated or unincorporated. This statute renders all liable, whether their purpose were commercial or not. We think that the term " association" is applicable to such • body of persons as is described in was 4: o w at cons/ to fl uec t descripti on.
