Mostyn," having been transferred to the court of Vice- Chancellor Stuart, the first application was made on the part of the defendants to answer the evidence of the claimant to the title and estates, on his application for a decree. The several parties attended before Mr. Peaks, the chief clerk. The application was for extension of time to the 20th May. which was opposed on the part of the plaintiff, the claimant to the title. Already nearly 50 affidavits had been filed. and about 40 more had been supplemented to support the claim. The chief clerk was of oinion that the defendants were clearly entitled to the 29t h Ma) to answer new evidence. It was stated that the evidence was merely one of " identity," and the affidavits had been filed some time. The claimant bad been absent 12 years, and other evidence could have been obtained. Mr. A. Peaks said, in a case where there were nearly 100 affidavits, and upwards of 1,000 folios, be should in the several summonses grant to the 20th MALT. Notice was given on the part of the claimalt that an ap plication should be made to the judge tosetthe orderaaide. EQUITY COURT. (Before Vioe•Chancellor Giffard.) LYON V. HOWL The bearing of this cause was resumed. Mr. James, Q.C., continuing his opening for the plaintiff, ref er red to "Huguenin v. Ermeley.” the celebrated case of spiritual influence decided by Lord Eldon ; to the Agapemone cam of "Nottidge v. Priam," in which Mr. Prince was compelled to refund certain sums which had been advanced by Min Nottidge whilst under the spiritual dominion of Prince ; to " Norton v. Rally," and other similar authorities. He argued that, if the plaintiff's evi dence were true, the inducement under which Mrs. Lyon acted was, and could have been, nothing else than the belief that she was acting under the directions communi cated to her from the spirit of her husband, through the medium of Mr. Home. Mr. Druce, QC. followed on the same aide. He read Mrs. Lyon's last affidavit. She stated that she was between 75 and 76 years of age. She had heard Home say that his father's name was Mackenzie, and he was in poor circum stances of We. She repeated that she had acted under the influence of Home, and believing that ho was in com munication with her husband's spirit. Mr. Fischer, on the same side, read Mrs. Lyon'. answer to the defend ant's statement. She said her husband sou • merchant of Liverpool, who afterwards farmed an estate in Durham, which be had bought himself, and, under counsel's advice, she declined to say whether she was ille gitimate or not. She was the author of an article, or essay, called " The Freed Soul," which was inserted in the Spi ritualist Magazine by Home's instrumentality, and was not sent by her. Before knowing Home she had no practical acquaintanoe with spiritualism ; and she certainly had never pretended to any supernatural powers. She admitted that the defendant did, soon after his return from Malvern on the let of November, give her certain jewels which she described, and some lace, ahawL, &c. She admits having adopted Home as her son ; and that Home did in troduce her to many persons of rank and literary distinc tion, but all of them were spiritualists ; and she never went into society with Home. except whn they attended spiritual séances together. She said that in November, 1866, she left her lodgings, at Home's urgent request, on the pound that lie had more than once caught the servants listening at the door whilst they were together. She then went to Mrs. Pepper's lodginp,. at 17a, Albert-terrace, Albert-gate, Knightsbridge. Whdst she was there several séances were heicL On one occasion a Miss Berry, a young lady of about ten years, and known as a" tilting draw ing, and rapping medium," o ffi ciated. Several tilts and raps were experienced, and Mrs. Lyon received the fol lowing message, upon which she acted :—" Sit not at the table till your trial comes off." At some of these meetings Frederick Kent, Mrs. Berry, Emma Berry, Miss Sims, and sometimes • Mrs. Parkes were pre sent. Mrs. Lyon said there were many manifestations which she could not account for except on the theory of spiritualism, but she did not pretend to understand the matter thoroughly, and had determined from henceforth to give it up. She said that, after • conversation with Home, in which she was annoyed to find that he began to suggest that their aoquaintance had not originated in any way in connexion with manifestations of her husband's spirit, she began to have her eyes opened, and to fled that she had been Home's dupe. Shortly after she applied to Masers. Bruce and Son, the solicitors. She then proceeded to explain the origin of certain pee eagos in • memorandum-book, in which were entries in Home's handwriting, and which came out of Kra Lyon's possession. They described messages and communications purporting to come from the spirit of Mrs. Lyon's husband. She said they were not dictated by her, or copied tram scraps in her handwriting. Mrs. Denison, the niece of Mr. Lyon, was then cm,- examined on her affidavit, in which sh e deposed to Mrs. Lyon having in May, 1866, written to her, and asked her to come and see her. She went, and Mrs. Lyon showed her • document, which she said was her will, and in which she left Mrs. Denison her executrix. She said she saw Mr. Lyon in his lifetime since his infancy. She deposed to the fact that Mrs. Lyon had predicted her own death at the expiration of seven years from her husband's death. She thought it very funny, and mentioned it to her relatives. They thought it odd, but did not coneider Mrs. Lyon insane. Mrs. Susan Catherine F'ellowee made an affidavit to the same effect, and further said that on • Sunday in October, 1866, she called with • young lady atMrs. Lion's lodgings, when, on going upstairs, she overheard the plain- tiff (whose voice she knew) scream out, "Oh, my darling !" On this she paused, and then she beard • man's voice in the room saying, " Don't interrupt me, or I can't proceed." She thee, upon inquiry, was told that the person with the plaintiff was " Mr. Home, the spirit rapper." This story was confirmed by Daniel Phillips, assistant to Mrs. Key, the -stationer at whose house Mrs. Lyon lodged. This witness and Mrs. Key also said that Mrs. Lyon showed them a knotted pocket-handkerchief in which she said her husband's spirit had tied several knots. They deposed to many interviews between Mrs. Lyon and Home. (The reading of the evidence was not concluded when our report left. ] COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) CHRIMTMAS r. WOODS. This case, which related to the will of Henry Trimmer, a journeyman miller, at Farnham, wee resumed from Saturday. The leading drown/Janes. connected with the suit have already been reported ; and it will be remem bered that the instrument in dispute was alleged to have been recently discovered concealed in the cover of an old book, where it had been for nearly twenty years. Thu morning additional evidence was given in support of the ease for probate. Mr. Metall, • oesfeatioser at Farnham, said he had intimately known an accountant named John Avenel, who had now been dead several 'ears. This will was in his handwriting. Avenel used to draw up wills for people. Ha wrote four distinct hands, but witness knew them all. The widow of Arena's brother James gave similar testimony. [The case was prooeedingwhen our report left.] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Window.) IN ILI PITO, ii/78, AND CRAYPTON. The bankrupts were the well-known contractors, of Great George street, Westminster, whose connexion with the " financing " of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company has given rite to so much diacumion. This was an adjourned sitting for the in vestigation of the claim put forward by the company to prove against the estate for so lees a sum than 6,661,'.411. At the last Rifting Sir Peto wu under examination the whole of the day, principally with reference to the mode in which the " B" and " C " shares had been issued, and the contracts entered into ; and his ststements brought down the history of the affair to March, 1883. Mr. Linklater appeared, as before, for the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Cowpony ; Mr. Markby for the amigness ; and Mr. Lawranee for the bankrupts. Sir S. 11. Pet° examined by Mr. Link/au—On 31st January, 1883, 477,0971. we. paid upon the C shams, and on debentures, 332,8681 ; on the 31st April, 1668, 886,8281. on sham and on debentures 360,0001. He aimed to pay interest on the B shares, and the company were to recoup him for it by paying 10 par cent. on the contract. The first certifisahe was granted in cocasequenes el a letter of April, 1881, hem Mr. Johnsen, the amocuitant of the company, to Kr. Christian - similar letters were written prior to other urtifiestes being glees, and an addition was made to Mr. Clibitt's anitheates for the amount of interest paid en B shores. As stated on the last amnion, the 0 ammo were imbed to the public at 871.10 a. per share ; their Am taking them from the company at 761. The " common fund stock " we issued through their brokers. A dream of the 3rd June, 1863, was lamed by the diresesse, but not at his influence, offering the stook to the public. Hie firm bad swenged with the eempany to Wks the winds of that stock at 751. Needy oil the wisondseices en that stook was paid ia other sleek. Some we pissed at for 1001. stook, and the remainder at par. The Bank rate of interest was the! 8 or 9 per cent. The whole el the stock was dimmed of through their brekers—Knigho, Coleman, and Co.—who had a commimicia of 7 per cent. The common fund Asbestine were finned by the company to t heir firm at 751. par 1001., and the same commission was paid en them to the brokers. The common fund stock was created by reminder' of June, 11163. Could sot say how much had been placed before the Ist of July. Referring to the common fund par-book of the company, it appeared that 353,0001. had been received by the eompeny on account of that dock ep to the lit of August, 1553. That amount represented I I payments by the public, and absorbed about half the stock. Had his attention Wen drawn to those points at the last Kitting, be could have given all the information in • tabular form. The company had borrowed a large amount in 1862, on provisional or Lloyd', Bonds, in anti cipation of the issue of the common fund stock. He thought the amount was between 400,0001. and 500,0001. An application from Hews. Knight, Coleman, and Co., in July, 1863, fur leave so tune the common fund debentures was made, he pre sumed, on his behalf ; and a resolution of the board was thereupon passed authorising this to be done as soon as the magistrate's certificate had been obtained showing that half the common fund stock had been paid up: The de bentures were afterwards homed through Knight, Coleman, and Co. (The certificate of Mr. Burnham, the magistrate, was put in, dated the 2.lth of August, 1863, stating that the whole of the common-fund stock of 750,0001. bad been subscribed for, awl half the amount paid up.) When his agents, Knight, Coleman, and Co., received and booed the debentures, he had no reason to doubt that all legal forms had been properly carried out, and the magistrate's certificate was one of them. Mr. Linklater—l understand you now to my that you are not legally liable to the company for the account of the common fund stock, less 25 per cent. Sir 8. M. Peto—l give the company credit for what the contract expresses. The full amount is entered on one side, and the commission on the other. On the 3rd of December, 1863, the company was going to parliament for power to raise fresh capital-1,500,0001. in ordinary stock, and 500,0001. in debentures. He proposed to take the debentures at two-and-a-half per cent. commission, and to take ordinary stook at twenty per cent. He also proposed, in a letter of the 3rd December, 1863, that 900,0001. of preference shares should be converted into ordinary stock. The company did not agree to his offer to take the whole of the million and half of ordinary stock at 20 per cent. He did not contemplate the com pany being able to issue the debentures until half the ordi nary stock, 750,0001., had been paid up. At that time he became the financial creditor of the company. His recommendation wee that he shoald have shares of 2,556,000/ at 20 per cent., and that upon payment of 330,0001. by him the company should obtain power from parliament to issue debentures of 500,0001. On the 17th December, 1863, the finance com mittee resolved that he should be invited to attend all their meetings to amid them with his advice and tannest ; he only attended when specially invited, but took an stair* interest in financial matters on behalf of the cons- Panr- Mr. Linklater—And yourself. Sir M. Peto attended the general meeting of the nom. pay in February, 1864. In the accounts submitted, the capitalof the A, B, C, and common fond shares were all treated u fully paid up. This firm was entitled to a very large rebate on portioning off that capital, and it was deducted in the accounts, so far as the gene ral undertaking was concerned, but it was not deducted in respect of the Metropolitan Extension Stock. At that meeting he stated that the works had been executed without any guarantee from the company. He meant that the whole of the Metropolitan Extensions had been constructed without any assistance from the main line. The capital for the Metropolitan Extensions had been supplied by his friends. Mr. Shaw, a shareholder, had threatened Inquiry se to the mode in which that capi tal had been dealt with. At the previous meeting in August, 1863, the capital was dealt with in the same way in the accounts. It was stated that out of 1,050,000/. of the extension capital 834,000/. had been received by the am. pang ; and Mr. Holroyd, the secretary, stated that the greater pert of that balance had been received since the amounts were made up. He did not believe he was at that meeting. Mr. Lialater—At any meeting at which you were pre sent did you ever tell the shareholders that the full amount of the capital had not been paid up Sir M. Peto—Certainly not. Mr. Linklater—Were you not aware that they were under the belief that the whole had been paid up? Sir M. Peto—They could not have supposed so. Mr. Linklater—Can you name any one shareholder to whom you told the contrary ? Sir M. Peso said be could do so if time were given. The amounts showed what capital had been paid up, but he had nothing to do with their accounts or their mode of stating them. The shareholders could not suppose that the whole of the A capital was paid up. He took the A I shares at a discount of 371. 10 x, and the B, C and common fund shares each at a discount of 251. ; the debentures on those three, amounting to 1,150,000/., also at a discount of 251. per cent. He was thus entitled to a rebate of 1459,0001. He had proposed to leave the amount due to bins to the arbitration of any London banker. Under the " lump-sum contract " he was to receive 5,979,1601. That included 825,0001. A shares, the same amount of B shares, 550,0001. debentures, 1,050,8001. B shares, 730,0001. common fund shares, and 600,0001. debentures ; 1,434,0001. of the capital of 1864, and 344,0001. of the debentures. For this sum he was to pay, on land, 1,170,7!4/. ; for works, 1,758,0311., jve of 10 per cent. for contingencies ; tools, 4= i . , legal and surveys, 145,000/. ; interest on deben tures, 104,000/. ; expenses of act, &c., 56,0001. ; direction and °Hoes, 83,0001. ; other items, including 10 per cent. for contingencies, which comprised interest on the B and 0 shares, and •36,000/. for the Boragh-read station, brought up the amount to 5,979,160!., which he was to re. ceive in shares and debentures. In May, 1864, he knew that the company was about applying to parliament for more capital. The act received the royal assent on July 25, and empowered them to raise 1,600,0001 in new shares for the Metropolitan Extension, and to consolidate with them the 825,0001. of the shares ; also to raise 535,0001. by deben tures as soon as half the 1,600,000/. was pail up. At a general meeting of the company on August 20,1864, re solutions were passed for the creation of 160,000 new shares of 10/. each. Was not aware that there was no power to convert the awes into dock till the whole was paid up. The holders of the A shares were his firm or their nominees ; the consolidation of those shares into stock was done at his request. The accounts presented at the meeting in August, 1864, treated the capital of the Metropolitan Extension seal recovered except a very small portion of the common fund stook. Under the limp sum contract he was to take 1,034,370/. of the new capital of 1,600,0001. at 401. per 1001. Each member of his firm signed the contract for 344,7901. The ob ject of signing that contract, whereby they undertook to pay to the creditor the full amount of 1,034 0001., was to enable the company to fulfil their un dersairinand woe done at the company's request. It was also done to enable them to obtain the magistrate's °edifier& Mr. Linklater —Then did you sign this to enable the company or anyone else to impose upon the .serrate Sir M. Peto—Certainly not. We were legally bound by what that contract express, taken along with the other contract. Sir Oniock P. Roney ideated the contract for 200,0001. at his (Sir Morton Pro's) request. He was • director of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway ; wittier toned lila his qualification in &hares. Mr. John Harvey, who sub scribed for 70,000!., wee ht. dark.

There wit spin only a limited quantity of English wheat on sale bore, the demand for which ruled very in active. Nevertheless, tanker were firm in demanding the extreme rates of Monday last, at which prices a few superior parcels were disposed of. The *hew of foreign wheat was extensive, end of a fair average quality. The demand, however, was in retail, at last Monday's eurrescies. Fine malting barley realised very full prime, and there was also a fair inquiry for grinding cud diatilling sorts. There was very little doing in the malt trade, but late rates wee* firmly maintained. The show was rather ex. immeire. Floating cargoes of wheat were held on fully preelees terms ; and most kinds of spring corn afloat were eked/in price. Linseed for arrival was drooping. Good sound oats changed hands at full values, but in ferior parcel, continued neglected. Beans were in short rapply, and prices ruled in favour of sellers. Inpess very few trsosactioos were reported, but no cheap took place in the quotations. The seed trade 'morally was inactive. Red and white clover remarked unaltered in price, bat tares and trefoils were doll. Cakes were a slow sale. Ti* Sour trade was *toady, but without animation. Millers mad* no okapis in t is top-pries of town•made qualities ; and fusoign and country marks were bold firmly on previous tams. Alutivaii OF GRAM Re.

THE PROSECUTION OF EX-OOVERNOR NSW. BOW-STRANT.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Eyre, late Governor of Jamaica, appeared before Mr. Vaughan, to answer a summons issued a few days since at the instance of Mr. John Stuart Mill, K P., sad Mr. Peter A. Taylor, M.P., on the charge of misconduct in_ that capacity. Mr. R. P. Collier and Mr. J. Horne Payne conducted the cam ; and Mr. Rose defended Mr. Eyre, who occupied • seat at the 'actor's table. Mr. Vaughan said that before proceeding with the muse he wished so call Sir R. P. Collier's attention to a technical objection. Yr. Rose hoped he plight first be allowed to make an application for the adjonenment of the case, an Kr. Rye's moue was unable to attend. Mr. Vrotrihan seid that Mr. Eyre would not be pre judiced. If the objection mold not bo anewerei tho . _ summons would be dismissed. If Sir R. P. Collier could meet it to his satisfaction, and could convince him that he ought to go on with the case, then be would take care that it should be adjourned for the attendance of ooutiseL The learned magistrate proceeded to explain the nature of the technical objection, which was substantially that though the statute under which thew proceedings were taken provided that the depositions should be sent to the Court of Queen's Bench, he had no power to commit the prisoner to that court, bat only to courts of oyer and terminer, i e., in this instance, the Central Criminal Court or Middl esex Sessions. Sir R. P. Collier costended at con►iderabie length that the Court of Queen's Bench is a court of over and terminer, and referred to authorities in support of that view. Kr. Vaughan, however, held that it wee not a court of over and terminer for the purpose of this prosecution, and held that he had not jurisdiction. If Sir R. P. Collier still thought he had, he might apply to the Court of (Nigel Bench for a mandamus to compel him to go on. At present he &slimed to exercise jurisdiction, but should adjourn the sees to give time for an application to the Lord Chief Justice. CHARTERED BANK OP INDIA, AUSTRALIA, AND CRINA.—(THIS DAY.)
