He said that, as their lordships probably knew, the viceadmiralty courts is the British colonise were order the jurisdiction of the High Court of Admiralty in logiand, and the appoiritsteete to the judgeships of these courts rested with the Admiralty at home, the goverbors of the British colonies being the vios-admirals of these courts. The Mammal:6.°oe which this bill sought to remedy mese from the small amount of businela in these courts, which rendered it necessary that the judges in them should din. itarother (onetime. Wheoever therefore • judgeship tre vice.admirslty wart became vacant, the result was that notice bad to be sent borne, and mouths often intervened before • new appointment was made, during which time a cessation of the judge's functions took place. The pro. widow of this bill were, reserving to the Board of Admi ralty at home its full powers of appointing a judge, or re jector( his appo i atesent, that the governor of each colony should proceed to the appaistmeat of a judge, and that the chief judge of the colony should temporarily fill the °Moe of judge in the vim-admiralty court, subject to the Baal sheision of the Admiralty at boom, with power to appoint hie own registrar. There were some other miner alterations, but the above were the princi pal features of the measure. The bill had been drama by Mr. liothery registrar of the High Court of Ad miralty, and he (the Duke of Newcastle) thought this eir easmeenee would have weight with their lordships in con adoring its merits. Lord CHELMSFORD said be had read the bill, which appeared to him to be admirably drawn, and met with his full approbation. The bill was then red a second time. _METROPOLITAN RAILWAY BILIS. . .

CROSKET V. 10K BANK OP WALES (LOUTIO), AND OTHERS This we was concluded this morning. The plaintiff was • shareholder in the above named company, and on behalf of himself and all others the shareholders in it, except the defendants, be sued the company, praying by his bill, in declaration that the defendants had been guilty of such misrepresentation and suppression u to entitle the plaintiff and all the other persons who had paid mosey for their shares is the com pany, on the faith of such misrepresentation, and in ignor. anon of such suppression, to • npayment thereof, and that all the defendants might be declared liable to repay such amount. respectively ; that a call of 51. or 31. per share was • al and void, and that the defeedants might be restrained from enforcing or receiving the nano, or ' forfeiting say shares for the non-payment thereof, and for repayment of any amount already received by the director' on account of such call ; that the defendant. might be restrained from opening or establishing any baakleg begi ns= in competition with the private banking concerns re. toned to in the prospectus of the company, and upon the faith of the purchase of which for the company, and the carrying on of which by the company, the plaintiff and others were induced to become shareholders therein ; and that the defendants might be decreed to repay a sum of 6,0001. with interest. To that bill the defendant. (the Basking Company) demurred for want at equity. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Itoxburgti appeared for the defendants. and supported the demurrer • Mr. Malin, Q.C., and Mr. W. M. Morris appeared for the planed!. The grounda upon which the plaintiff rested hi sae and those on which the Vice-Chancellor hued his decision, will sufficiently appear from hie Honour's judgment. The Vic... Chancellor, without calling on the defendant.' counsel for • reply, said—This bill wen filed by mews= on behalf of himself and all others the shareholder in the bank, except the defendants, and "ought relief notelet them, chiefly on the ground that some other penes bad impro perly received money from the company . The first step towards the relief which he prayed was a declaration that the defendants had been guilty of misrepresentation and suppression of facts. In his Honour's opinion the plaintiff had no right to file • bill for any such purpose. The plaintiff stated oothing is his bill to show that those on behalf of whom he professed to sue were dissatisfied with the alleged improper payment of the money. This came was, therefore, clearly within the prin ciple of " •70061 V. Garcia Del Rio," (in Tuner sad Roseell's Reports, p. 297), where Lord Eldon said the man where one party filed • bill on behalf of himself nod others were cases when the others bad a choice between that and nothing; but how could it be managed when some parties were not dissatisfied, but were disposed to abide by the contract ? The neat part of the prayer was in fewest of aa demand in the shag of • call of Si. or 34 es shares in the company. The question aa to that was what was • call? Not only did the articles of sessiatios of the company, but the plaintiff's bill, clearly dieriagneh between a call upon shares sod • deposit. A call could nos in the or dinary sense of the term be made till after the deposit and other payments had been made. Upon that part of the eerie lus Honour thought the plaintiff could not succeed. The next ground of relief prayed was more extraordinary still than the other, via, ea to the injunction to meanie the defendant from opening or establishing any banking business in compel ition with the private banking concerto referred so in the prospectus of the company ; and upon the faith of the purslane of which for the company and the carrying on of which by them, the plainti ff and others wen induced to become shareholders in it. That part of the case was corn. pletely contradicted by the language of the prospectus. The whole purpose of the company was to stn. blish banking businesses in visions parts of Wales ; and to my that those busies es were not to he carried on in competition with prints banks ins, to his Honour's mind, simple nonsense. It was said, however, that by " private banks" was meant the bank of Messrs. Crawshay, Bailey, and Co. But there was no wanant for any such statement on the bill. Then, the fourth (reload of the relief was, that the defendants might be derailed to te. pay a sum of 6,0001. with interest, not saying to whom. As to that, the memorandum of association expesesly authorised the directors, without any further warrant, ia cats, and so soon as the capital should be increased to 500,0001. or up wards, and 'barest° thatamountbad bees subscribed (mind allotted, to pay to Chu. Puke, his executors, administrators, or assigns. the sum of 6,0001. With respect to the allot ment of the shares, the 12th paragraph of the bill cont. plsined that it had been precipitated, is order to enable the directors to pay Mr. ; while the 15th, 16th. and 17th 43 than that. onl red T4, t 9 i tf. share, an ., amo h a sd ut lees ;lotted. In truth the statements of the bill as to the 45 shares—and indeed as to the allotment of the others—were so entangled and confused, so mired op with allegations about " a scheme," and the steps takes to give it an appearamo of egality—of entries of hams on the register as if l allotted—in short s ea incom prehensible were the allegations of the bill as to that part of the case, that his Honour bad in vain en deavoured to understand them. There wee, however, one thing plain, that they contained nothing to show that the 6 0001. ought to be repeal by any one to any one. Upon that part of the case, therefore, the plaintiff was aka wrong. In ordinary =sea when • bill cheered misrepresentation or fraud, or what amountedtothat, end ditto) vaguely and with out specifying the particulars on which such charges were based, they were the subject of coats. On • demurer, in deed, for the purposes of it, they most be 'bosomed to be true ; but as the plaintiff here had wholly failed in sup porting his case, and as it was manifest ly within the prin ciple of that of , 'Jones v. Garcia Del Rio," the demurrer must be allowed, and with oasts. COURT OP QITZEN'EI BENCH.-MAT 1. Bitdop is Shoo°. —(Before Lord Mat Justin Cockburn and Jordan Crompton, Mellor, and Blackburn.) row& AND Axonal' (iazarrom) v. LONDON AND MANCHEBTSII DISOILILICE 001IPAZT. This ease cams before the court opal • demurrer to a plea to the declaration. It appeared that an action had been brought by the plaintiff upon a life policy for 1,0004 and the defence set up was that the policy bed become vitiated, on the ground that the deceased had made certain untrue statements in his declaration to the company. The usurer signed the usual declaration, but mad* several small mistakes se regarded the ages of his mother, father, and himself. He also made a mistake in statiog that he had never suffered from the gout. At the bottom of the decla ration a notice stated that the parties made it as the Mai of the agreement to be bound by it, and ebould there be any fraudulent conmalment or designedly untrue statement °Da ! tabled in it, the usurer should forfeit his premium and the policy should become vitiated. It Was now cootended, on the part of the defendants, that the statements in question were untrue. They Dead not be designedly untrue ; but should they be untrue, Mill it the usurer believed them to be true, they would teed to mislead the insurance company, and therefore would be sulEciect to make the policy void. On the other heed it was coeteeded that the parties had be bound by the declaration made by the aathrer, earned to the bottom of it wee a Dote stating that the state ments must be " franduleatly sod designedly astral" he. fore the policy could be vitiated on that ground. Mr. Kasalake, Q.C., Mr. Huddleaton, Q.C., and Mr. Prentice were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Mellish. Q.C., and Mr. Jones, for the defendant,. _ _ The Lord Ciiief Justice mid he was of °pinks that the plaintiff was 'raided to the judgment of the court. The court had considered the ease very carefully, and had come to the 000cluaiou that to make the policy void it was no: sufficieot to my that the assurer bad made certain false statements in his declaration. It must be proved that they were false sad designedly untrue. If the assurer, inn:whim the declaration, believed what he was semetieg was true, although it was really false, that would not vitiate the policy.—Judgment for the plaintiff. BURINISB Or THB COURT.

(Miley, Cramp, and Co., with ►latent to defraud, contrary to the Bankruptcy Act al 11161, section 221, article 10. The defendant was also charged on another summons, ander the same section of the said act, article 11, with having within three months, he., periled and disposed of, otherwise than by bona fide transactions in the ordinary way of trade, certain of his goods and chattels, to wit, • large quantity of wine of the value of EOM, which b• had unlit/. tally obtained on credit, and which then rentaised unpaid for. Mr. Telford Salter, banister, instructed by Mews. Sharpe and Co., appeared to prosecute ; Xr. Miller appeared to watch on behalf of other creditors; and Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the defendant. The evidence, as far as it was taken, went to show that the defendant formerly canted on basin/se as a wine UNE , shut in Idol•lane, but afterwards removed to Mine/beam In August, 1861, he first bad transactions with Mama Offlay and Cramp, winemerchants, of St. Helen's-Oaos, Bishopagate, and in February, 186 Z he seat sn order to those gentlemen for a quantity of wine to put down in his wine cellars in Mincing-lane. There was an outataad ing account with the defendant considerably overdue, and they therefore at first demurred at letting him have a large quantity on credit. They, however, made inquiries and found that he bad opened new cellars, and under those circumstances they consented to allow him to have wine on credit, up on the representation that he wanted it to put down in him cellar. Messrs. Offiey sent him in maniple* of wine, and the defendant refused to take them at the prin.' they offered them. and some correspondence amnia, is which Messrs.

Sixteen out of the eighteen warrants had been taken into the docks, and the signature at the back was in the handwriting of Mr. Chaplain, but as he was absent the 1 case was adjourned, as he took part in the whole matter with the defendant, and it was necessary to have his depo sition to complete the one.

The hearthrug and the burnishing of the steel fender in the parlour were much burnt, and DO doubt her voluminous dress had beau burning some time before the unfortunate lady wee aware of the occurrence. No doubt the crinoline bad forced the folds of her dress over the fender into the grate where a large fire was burn rg.—Mr. J. Ayles maid that about one o'clock on the day in question he was passing outside the house, when be beard piercing shrieks of "fire." He saw the flames through the windows, mi d went in, but did not see who opened the door, and saw a lady in • body of flame. He assisted in putting out the fire. Deceased said to a young lady standing on the stairs, " You set me on fire ; you know you did. Yon said you would do so, and you have do= it at last" The young lady was the deceased's eater, and she said nothing in reply. Decreed appeared to witness to he rational gremb. Wirer did not observe say fire in the parlour grate, or any larder matches, ltc. Mr. Jennings. invalid. —Elisabeth Mellish, • nursemaid, said that deceased rushed out of the parlour ahrieking. There was only a little Are in the grete. Deceased's sister sometimes quarrelled with but wires' never beard her say that she would met her on Are. There was no quarrel that morning. The sister was down stain five 'ninnies before Mts. Jarvis our burnt. She beard Mrs. Jarvis saying in the hall, " You bare done this."

LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN SHARE HOLDERS' ASSOCIATION. On Tuesday s meeting of the members of this OillOOfigioo was held at Manchester to receive the report of the committee ; Mr. J. Butterworth in the char. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said it was for principles only for which the association was contending. Some programs had been made, and by a continuance of the sanociation, at all events for another year, they might hope for a great deal more than they had already attained. He lied every confidence in Mr. Moon, the chairman of the directors, end he believed that he was the right man in the right place, and that if Mr. Moon soled entirely on his own reepoesibilit all things would go on rightly. Mr. H. Lem eeoo the adoption of the report. Mr. T. Wrigley addressed the meeting at considerable length. He said the committee had no desire for power or plus ; they were actuated by • singleness of purpose, if possible, not only to benefit themselves and their own pro perty, but to do the same good to the thousands of share holders to whomthe dividends of the company were matters of the deepest consequence. He asked the meeting to adopt the following resolution :—" That the experience derived from the past opera tion of the London and North Western Shareholder 'a Association clearly proves that such an ,orgaairation o ff ers the only means by which railway shareholders can secure that legitimate control over then property which the legislature intended' them to exercise, whether se regards the elution of directors, or as to the policy which ought to guide them in the administration of their property ; and this meeting is of opinion that this se. sociatMn ought to be continued, and is deserving of the best support of the proprietors." Mr. R. Fort seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Outside moved a resolution to the effect that • petition be drawn up asking the government to reduce the stamp duties on prune from 13c1. to Id., which was speed to ; and on the motion of Mr. Bennett. miconded by M r. Coward, the meet ing was adjourned to the 26th of May, when the question of the future continuance of the association should be finally determined. GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY. An adjourned meeting of shareholders in the Eastern Urine, or Class A shareholders of the Great Eastern Railway, was held yesterday, at ltadley's Hotel, Mr GODBOLD, LP., in the chair, to consider Captain Gallon's award defining the fixed annual charges. The CHAIRMAN briefly recapitulated the eirennistances under which the A shareholders had obtained an injunc tion restraining the Great Eastern from paying the divi dend on their ordinary stock without paying the dividend also on the A stock. Until that injunction was obtained no steps were taken to obtain the award, and when it was obtained, in order to dissolve the injuriction, it was made by Captain Dalton without calling any of the parties before him, but upon the figures furnished him by the accountant, and without reference to the oat dining of the agreement on which the amalgama tion act was based. That agreement stipulated, amongst other things, that, in calculating the annual fixed charges of the Eastern Union, interest should be charged, not at the rate at which the Eastern Union actually paid on their do. lantern and preferences, but at the average rate at which the amalgamated company night issue debentures or en tireness in future. This Capt.= Gallon had not done. bat bad charged the sor 54 per cent which the Eastern Union had paid instead of the 4} which was the avenge at which Great Eastern securities had since the amalgamation been issued. Again, Captain Galva had made a permanent charge of 1,0711. rent of Slourmarket navigation, although it would fall to 8061. in 1866, and cerise altogether in 1877. There were other deductions not taken into consideration by the arbitrator, which if allowed, as they ought to have been, would have reduced the total charges from 85,8961., the amoont of Captain Gallon's award, to below the 72,0001. which it bad been stated in parliament the perms.. neat charges would Lot exceed. Mr. G. Sign said it was clear such an absurd award could not stand. What was the lon to the A shareholders by the miscalculation of interest! Captain Jnavis-6,3001. a year. In reply to another question the chairman stated that the Eutern Counties directors offered every obstruction to the marrying out of the agreement. A conversation ensued, and ultim►tely a resolution was come to authorising the chairman to take such proceedings as might be necessary to secure the A shareholders their rights under the agreement of 29th July last. ROYAL SWILDISH RAILWAY. —The report of the directors in England to the meeting of shareholder., to be held at the London Tavern on the sth inst., states that the working of the Nora Company Branch has resulted in a considerable profit instead of a loss, 2.• hitherto. The branch from Halsaurg to Orebro, by which the company's line is brought into connection with the go vernment trunk line from Gottenbargh to Stockholm, was completed lest autumn ; and subsequently, in November, the government main line was finished and opened through out for traffic. Since then there has been as aug mentation of the traffic, especially in that of passengers, over the company's line ; but owing to the line having only been opened at the commencement )of the winter 'ream, and at a time, too, of unusual depression of the iron trade of Sweden, the additional traffic derived from that source has not been so large ea war expected. The traffic during the peat year has not increased so much as they had anticipated, but the receipts, especially those from minerals, are still most seriously interfered with by the continuance of the American war, and even the mildness of the weather during the put winter has exercised an in. jurimui influence. Owing to the want of snow and feat, the roads to the interior and the outlying districta have been imputable, and the usual mode of transit during that period of the year (the sledge), could not be adopted. The work ing expenses bare bean further reduced from 79 per cent to 75 per cent of the gross earnings ; these will be reduced still more during the current year by an arrangement en tered into with the government for the joint nee of the sta tion at Orebro. As the net revenue for the year amounts to 3,2751., the directors think that it would be bbeonsistent with their repeated promises, to longer defer making some payment to the obligation holders, small as that sum must necessarily be ; and they have therefore much pleasure in announcing their Intention to pay Is. per obligation on ac count of the arrears of interest due thereon. - --- ----- THE LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COMPANY .— Tbe directors of this company, which lately received a de. potation from the Cab and Omnibus Mes s &oder Rest Society, asking for every thud Sunday clear for the men, have just lamed an order, in which they notify that " any driver or conductor may be relieved from working on Sunday, by giving notice of his wish to the foreman not later than 12 a clock at noon ors the Saturday previous, and that direc tor,s have been given for arrangements to be made accord ingly, and that the director' do not desire any man to work on Sundays who has a conscientious objection to do so." The secretary of the Men's Society, in asking us to publish this fact, writes :—" May we public, through you, to assist the director' in carrying out this humane and spirited order by using omnibuses as little as possible on Sundays?" MURDER IN LIVERPOOL—OD Thursday night, about 11 o'clock, police-officer 441 of the Liverpool borough force, found a woman lying on the foot walk in St. Jobs's lane, near Si, Geotge'whnU. At first the offioer thought the woman was drunk, but upon examining her he found that she was covered with blood, and took measures to re move her to the infirmary. At the infirmary it was found that the woman had received • fearful stab in the left breast, and that she was too much exhausted to give any information as to who had indiAed the injury upon her ; in fact, she was No much injured that she died in about two hours after her admittance to the institution.
