•'- - - - r 4 THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY E THE REFORM BILL. The house then went into committee upon the Repre sentation of the People and Redistribution of Seats Bills. Mr. Deimos in the chair_ In clause 1, the sheet title of the bill was altered from Franchise Bill to Representation Bill. This clause and clause 11 were agreed to. Clause 3, the interpretation clause, was, at the sugges tion of Mr. Burr, postponed. On clause 4. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, after ex. pleining the reasons which had induced the government to make it, intimated that they were willing to withdraw the proposal to give votes to leaseholders in boroughs ; hut to Mr. Walpole's amendment, to fix the county occupation franchise at 20/. they would give a deter mined opposition. He pointed out that a 10/. franchise had been frequently sanctioned by the house, and bad been embodied in the Reform Bills of 1854 and 1859, and in fixing the figure at 141. the government had run some risk of offending the reform party, with the view of conciliating the other aide and of settling the question. If the amendment were accepted the virtual engagement with the reforming party would be at an end. After inti mating that on the subject of boundaries the government bud not formed any foregone conclusion, he argued at length in favour of the 14/. franchise, asserting that it was • completion of middlealassenfranchisement ; that it had been found to work well in Ireland, and that it would ad mit 171,000 new voters, mostly of the middle class, and dependent on the land, while a 20/. franchise would only admit 115,000. A new turn was given to the debate by Lord STANLEY rising to move the postponement of the clause, with the ob ject of delaying all the franchiseclausesuntil the redistribu tion scheme is disposed of. His motive, he explained, was to obtain • guarantee that all the branches of the subject should be settled together and as • whole, and he feared that at this period of the session the govern ment, when they got through the franchise clauses, might revert to their enginel position, and drop the Redistribution Bill altogether. The franchise was a simple matter comparatively, which might be settled in a couple of tights' debate, and it would be wiser to deal with the more complex part of the scheme while the house was fresh. He contended, moreover, that the house could not decide satisfactorily on the franchise until they had j settled what the constituencies should be, and by pro ceeding with the franchise first they would be working in the dark. Mr. E. EGERTON seconded the motion, and was fol lowed by Mr. BRIGHT, who strongly denounced the motion as ' intended to delay the bill, and asserted that no man could support it who swished the bill, or any part of it, to become law this sea:ion. It was another proof that, notwith standing their fair and plausible language, the opposition were determined not to allow any bill to pass this session if they could prevent it. Mr. NEWDEGATE was of opinion that the redistribu ' tion of seats was a far more important portion of reform than the readjustment of the franchise. He bad opposed Lord Derby's proposition to disfranchise the borough free holders, but he thanked the Chancellor of the Exchequer for not pressing his clauses for giving leaseholders county votes. He considered that the great question of the day was the allocation of political power, and believing that the house was nearer a solution of it than it had ever been before, be should support the motion of the noble lord the member for King's Lynn. (Hear, hear,) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER,—Sir, whatever may be said about fighting in the open day, and upon the open field, I cannot but congratulatethe hon. gen tlemen opposite upon their perfect mas tery of the arts of Ambush. (Loud cheers and cries of Oh, oh.") Ten days have elapsed since the motion for going into committee came under discussion, and not until this moment when the noble lord rose was the gallant party opposite able to make up its mind as to the next step it should take. (Cheers.) I do not complain of that step. (Ironical cheers.) By all means, if it is thought by the noble lord and my hon. friend that this is the manner in which the battle of reform is to be fought, let them persevere. This question requires no lengthened argument, no debated discussion. The purport of the motion, if not its purpose, is perfectly plain. At last, with many efforts , we have got near the point where something like decisive issues are to be taken ; and then this new strategy is invented, and kept locked up in the breasts of those who conceived it, lest it should suffer from exposure to the open air—a tenter and decicate hot-house plant, not fit for the rude climate of Great Britain—(loud cheers, and cries of " Oh, oh "(—imported from elsewhere. Sir, my hon. friend the member for Macclesfield (Mr. Egerton) has stated that no one has a right to charge him with motives of hostility to reform. Whatever my hon. friend states with regard to his motives will at all times command from me implicit credence. It is no part, of my duty—it is no part of my right to investigate the motives of honourable gentlemen opposite ; but there is a supposition which may, perhaps, in some degree recon cile the claims of courtesy with those of truth. My hon. friend may not be hostile to reform, but he is hostile to our reform. He says there is a fatal—l don't know what he called it. An HON. IF'.IIBER—A blot. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—No, he said it was a principle. He said that nothing would in duce him to sanction a fatal principle which put the con stitution in jeopardy, like that of proceeding with the ex tension of the franchise, before we had determined upon the clauses for the redistribution of seats. That, says my hon. friend, is a fatal heresy ; but that was the principle of the Reform Bill of 1&59, which was brought in by the government of Lord Derby, and which received my hon. friend's continued support. (Cheers.) My honourable friend was then as now the friend of reform, and he was nct then particular as to the arrangement of clauses, or as to the adoption of the principle which he now declares places the constitution in jeopardy. I make no imputation upon my hon. friend of general hostility to reform. Good forbid that I should do this — (a bough) — indeed, my hon. friend may be fanatical on the subject, but certeinly lie is exceedingly opposed to our Reform Bill. I don't think it uncharitable to say that be has opposed it I by all the means in his power ; and that he has taken HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THUMPAY, Jr NE 7. ich are perfectly effectual for their purpose.

They had already gonetco far is separating taxation and representation, and that evil would be aggravated by the present bill. His preposition was to reduce the co-franchise to that Lint where cavil duties would be connected with it, and Imperial taxation would rest upon it. (Cheers.) The TWA bon. gentleman concluded by moving that the words " 201. " be substituted in the clause for " 14/. Mr. VILLIERS said that the government believed that by their proposition they were doing that which would strengthen the agricultu ri st interest in that house. As re gard(W. the constitution, the inroad wee in 11132, for it was then when the old principle was departed from. It re mained for the right hon. gentleman or some of his friends to tell the house why the county franchise of Ireland should not in effect be applied to England. (Hear.) Mr. W. HUNT said he understood the reason why the government had fixed upon 71. for the boroughs was because there was one party in the cabinet anxious for 61. and another for 81., and therefore they split the difference. No intelligible reason had been given by the government for fixing upon 141. franchise for the counties. In the discussion which followed, the amendment was supported by Mr. Beresford-Hope and Mr. Liddell, and opposed by Sir E. Buller, Sir F. Crowley, and Mr. Pease. ADDERLEY maintained that a 141. franchise— added to the borough freeholders—would in the midland counties make the town voters two-thirds of the consti tuencies, thus destroying the balance of the urban and county element'. But in the absence of any assurance as to the form in which the Redistribution Bill would pass, or if it would pass at all, it was impossible satisfactorily to decide at what figure the franchise should be fixed, and ' the real obstructive:s, therefore, were those who had op posed Lord Stanley's motion. Under the circumstances he intended to vote to omit 14/. from the clause, without pledging himself to the exact figure to be substituted. After some observation from Mr. B. STANHOPB, who said the bill involved this dilemma,—either it would swamp the agricultural element in counties or would leave large urban districts unrepresented—and who also refused to pledge himself to any particular figure, Sir G. GREY said the right hon. gentleman (Mr.Wal u p rt ol 4 .l had made use of an argument which had been with great effect by Lord Russell, namely, that there was an essential difference between the county and the borough qualification—the former being a property, the latter an L occupation franchise. But who was it that had made the first inroad upon that distinction ? It was hon. gentlemen opposite, who, by the Chandos clause, had introduced an occupation franchise into counties. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman argued that these occupation voters were in apeat minority, their number being 111,000 against 400,000 or 500,000 freeholders, and that if the rental qualification were reduced to 14/, that proportion would be disturbed. But the bill of Lord Derby's govern ment began by subtracting 100,000 freehold voters from the counties, and then it reduced the quali fication, not to 14/., but to 10/. The effect of that scheme would no doubt really have been to swamp the freeholders. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman said it wasidesirable that there should be a distinction between county and borough members. Perfectly agreeing with him in the opinion he could not help reminding the right hon. gentleman that the bill of Lord Derby absolutely assimilated the county and borough franchise. The party which was designated as that of the advanced re formers, and which had always advocated the 101. and 6/. franchise, had recognised in the bill an honest attempt to settle the question, and upon that ground had given it their adhesion. (Cheers.) There was no contract or en gagement, but they declared their determination to sup port the bill as it stood ; and of course, as his right hon. friend had said, if the bill were defeated that engagement on their part would be at an end, and it would beepen to the - n to propose any other arrangement for the settlement lof the queston. (Hear, hear.) The government thought that this was a fair and reasonable proposal for the settle ment of a long agitated . question, and deprecated any attempt to put off its decision to a future time. (Hear.) Mr. DISRAELI remarked that before attempting to settle what was to be the proper franchise for counties, they ought to understand what the counties meant ; but it seemed that the government had no clear idea of what the population of counties really was. If they took out all the populations of unrepresented towns froms,ooo upwards they would still have 500 unrepresented towns with popu lations under 5,000, and irrespective of these unrepre sented towns there were in thecountieaavillage population equal in amount to the population of the whole of the represented towns. This being so, the question of popu lation and boundaries should be first taken into considera tion before attempting to settle the amount of the free chise, so the: it might be seen how political power was hereafter to be distributed. He was ready to support even a 10/. qualification for counties, provided the quali fication were a bona Me one ; but as the plan of the government now stood, if the boundaries of unrepre sented towns were not to be settled, they might fix upon a franchise for the counties, whether 10/., 14/. or 201., that might end in creating a representation for the rural population, who were half the linglish nation, which would not be a fair and just representation of itspropet feelings, industry, and interests. He was of opinion, therefore, that it was impossible to deal with the question, except in a factious and hurried way, until the house knew what the government proposed to do with the large unrepresented towns, otherwise it would terminate in disappointment and disaster. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, re peating many of his arguments in the previous portion of the evening, and intimating that the government were ready to consider the question of boundaries and more ex tensive enfranchisement of large towns at the proper moment. No doubt these were difficult questions, but it was unjust to those who were entitled to the franchise — and the fitness of the 14/. occupiers had never been de nied—to delay its extension to them until solutions could be found. Mr. HENLEY denied that the house had ever assented to a 10/. county franchise, as asserted by Mr. Gladstone, and, in reply to his argument that this would be a settle ment, he pointed out that at all the liberal meetings the bill had been accepted only as an instalment. The ques tion was not whether the 141. occupiers were fit, but whether their admission would not outweigh the influence of the property qualification, and the statistics, imperfect as they were, showed that this would be the case. He ob jected, too, to the 141. franchise because it tended to sepa rate representation from taxation. The committee then divided, and the numbers were : For the amendment Against it There was great excitement in the house previous to the entry of the tellers, and when the clerk placed the paper with the numbers in the hand of Mr. Brand there was a loud outburst of cheers from the ministerial side. On Mr. Brand reeling the nun.bers the cheering from the same quarter became far more enthusiastic, and was renewed again and again for several minutes. Aa soon as some order had been restored, Mr. BAGGE (who appeared in one of the side galleries) rose, and addressing the chairman said he moved that the house should adjourn. (The hon. member was greeted with laughter and cries of " Hear, hear.") port Lord CRANIIORNE moved that the chairman should re p The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—As there are other matters of importance in this clause, and as we have arrived at this hour of the night (half-past 12) I shall offer no resistance to reporting progress. (Cheers and cries from the opposition for the postponement of the committee until Monday. ) Mr. DODSON, the chairman—The question before the committee is that I report progress, and ask leave to sit again. It is for the house to say when the committee shall sit again. The house then resumed, and the chairman reported Pr°4 l mBl. T e CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the committee should sit again this day (Friday). Lord ROY STON—I move as an amendment that the committee betponed until Monday next. (Hear, bear.) The CHANC ELLOR of the EXCHEQUER maid that independent members of the house, as was perfectly well known, bad the right to make their own motions on going into committee of supply ; but when they were disposed of the government were responsible for the order of business. On referring to the paper for tomorrow, he found that the notices of motions which were given on going into committee of supply were of a character not likely to occupy any great length of time. That being so, the government were responsible for the rest of the evening, and it was not their intention to waste any portion of time. (Cheers.) So far as depended on them, they would move the house to employ that time in the progress of the reform bill. (Loud cheers.) On the motion being pot, there were many expressions of dissent from the opposition benches, when Mr. DISRAELI said the proposition of the government did not in any way interfere with the privileges of private members. There would be the motion that the house go into committee of supply, when any gentleman might bring on any motion on the paper, or any other motion. At the same time, he had no doubt they would confine themselves to those motions of which they had given notice. The proposition of the government will not at all interfere with them, and it would be unreason. able to interfere with the fair . prerogative of the govern ment. (Cheers.) He was (pine certain the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not keep them to any very late hour. (Hear. hear.) The motion for the adjournment until to-night (Friday) was then agreed to.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said,seeing the First Lord ef the Tresenry in his place, he would uk him a question of which he had given notice. Some few weeks ago he asked the noble lord whether it was the intention of government to bring in a bill for the purpose of extending the provisions of the Factory Act to females and young persons engaged in certain trades and manufactures, but oould then get no information. He now wished to know If government intended to bring in such a bill Earl RUSSELL said be was unable to give the noble sort en answer now, but he hoped to be able to do so on Monday nest. DOWRY OF THE PRINCESS MARY. Earl RUSSELL moved that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, to thank her Majesty for the mast gracious communication which it has pleased her Majesty to make to this house, of the intended marriage between her Royal Highness the Princes, Mary Adelaide Wilbelmina Elisabeth, youngest daughter of his late Royal Highness the Duke of 'Cambridge, and his Serene Highness Francis Paul Charles Louis Alexander Prince of Teak, and to assure her Majesty that this house, always feeling the most lively interest in emy event which can contrilute to the happiness of the 'royal family, will concur in measures which may be pro posed for the consideration of the house to enable her Majesty to make a further provision for her royal highness • en this 000ssion. The motion wea unanimously agreed to. LAW OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT AMENDMENT BILL The house having gone into committee on this bill, . . . The LORD CHANCELLOR said, as there bad been very numerous amendmenta in the bill, he had moved that the bill ahould be recommitted pro forma, in order that the amendments might be printed, lie now moved that the amendments be printed. ' ' Lord BROUGHAM said be considered the measure one et great importance, and said he hoped some alteration would be made in the law of criminal Kocedure, so that evidence might be received of insanity which might in some cases convert murder into manslaughter. There was another subject he would take the opportunity of making an observation upon, and that was the subject of bribery. Be thought the other house of parliament, without any legislation ca the subject, might put an end to it by • standing order requiring the members to make a decla ration. The motion was then agreed to, and the bill with the amendments was ordered to be printed, THE CROWN LANDS BILL. i t ' ' i ~~ l' ' Lord GRANVILLE moved the second reading of the Crown Lancia Bill. Lord NELSON complained that the commoners of the New Forest would be deprived of some of their rights by the contemplated changes, and especially objected to the introduction of a system of shooting licenses. Unless the bill was altered in that respect, he intimated a disposition to ask the house to refer the bill to a select committee. The Duke of BUCOLIUCH and Lord Cimid,troao took exception to the extended powers over the foreshores which the bill would confer upon the Board of Trade. The LORD CHANCELLOR, however, denied that any further powers over foreshores would be conferred than • were already enjoyed by the crown. After some further discussion the bill was read a second time, and afterwards was ordered to be referred to a select Committee. . , . ••The Nuisances Removal Bill was read a second time. THE COMPANIES' ACT (1862) AMENDMENT BILL. Upon the motion for the committee upon the Cora• granite' Act (1862) Amendment Bill, Lord REDEBDALE objected to unlimited power being given to companies to reduce the amount and to increase the number of their shares. Lord OVERSTONE concurred in the objection, and made some strong comments on the enormous traffic in shares, which he denounced as mere gambling. He referred to the recent instances of bank suspensions, which had in flicted so much suffering upon the shareholders, and in sisted that if companies were permitted to reduce the denominational value of their shares, the result would be to increase the number of sufferers in all future cases of failure. The noble lord reminded the house that he bad objected to the passing of the Limited Liability Act, and had predicted the ruin which the reckless trading of the new companies would entail upon their shareholders. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLE% attributed Lord Over stone's objections against the bill to his dislike of the system of limited liability, and showed that some, at least, of the recent failures had not been caused by the adop tion of that principle. Lord GREY regarded the bill as one calculated to stimu late the spirit of gambling, which already extensively pre vailed, and, seeing no good object which it could attain, he moved to defer the committee for three months. Alter few words from LOlll TEYNHAM, The house divided on the question that the house do now go into committee : Contents Non-contents 14 17-3 The bill is consequently lost. LIFE INSURANCE BILL This bill was read a second time. HOP TRADE BILL. This bill was read a third time. NAVAL SAVINGS BANK BILL This bill was read a second time. The house then adjourned at 20 minutes to 8 o'clock. FIRE INSURANCE. Mr. H. R. SHERIDAN withdrew Lie amendment upon the committal of the Terminable Annuities Bill, and gave notice that on Tuesday next he should move that this house, having by its resolutions repeatedly affirmed the desirability of a large reduction of the lire insurance duty, and the reductionreatly made beinginsufficient to satisfy this house or the country, this house is of opinion that it i, inexpedient, until a further reduction in such .luty I made, to commit itself to the scheme of prospectiv.: nuance proposed by the Terminable Antuaies Bill. ,ant ..,i gt their original method of proceeding'" I suppose my hon. friend thinks the word of the government is no pledge. Their word has been given that they will abide the pleasure and judgment of the house. That is the pledge they have given. But the government will not coroent to any motion upon a question of this character that takes the conduct of the bill out of their hands. (Cheers. , They have been charged with many things. Many hard words have been used—naturally, and perhaps ueceis .rily. used at crises like the present—but there are no words that would be hard enough to de . scribe their degradation if they were willing to 4it helplessly here from day to day, and leave their Reform Lill to be manipulated by the hands of a hostile opposition, that, from the first hour till now, has not yen tured to avow its purpose. (Loud cheers.) We intend, so far as it depends upon us, to obtain the judgment of this bous4 upon the important propositions we have made with respect to the popular question of this country. That is i I the endeavour we have set before us. Towards that end I we will steadily walk, so long as we are supported by this I house ; and to the judgment of the house we will cheer ' fully bow. I thank the noble lord for raising the issue in Iso decisive a form ; and he will not find us unwilling to accept the indications which will be given us by a hostile I vote. (Loud cheers.) ! The committee divided, when the numbers were — For the amendment • Against I 1 The amendment was therefore rejected. As sou as Mr. Brand, the government teller, received from the clerk the paper upon which the number was re corded, a loud cheer rose from the ministerial benches, and was cont i nued so long as materially to delay the announce ' ment of the result of the division. When the numbers were declared the cheer was repeated with increased ardour and still greater enthusiasm. Mr. WALPOLE, in moving an amendment, the effect of which would be to raise the occupation franchise in I counties from 141. as proposed in the bill to 201., I said that according to the principles of the Reform I Act, property ought to have a predominant influence in the county franchise. Next they ought to en ' devour to get an intelligible resting place in reducing the . franelanie, and that they found in the juror quali fication: and thirdly, a strong reason for adopt ing the juror qualification was that it would con- RINDERP}ZT IN THE ISLE OF MAN. In reply to Sir A. AGNEW, Mr. BRUCE said that Mr. Brown, the inspector, who bad been sent to the Isle of Man. had reported that although the disease which had appeared among the cattle in that island bore some resemblance to the rinderpest, he was not prepared to express a decided opinion that it war that disease. THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS MARY OF CAMBRIDGE. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, in committee of the whole house, that an annual sum of :3,000/. be granted to her Majesty as an annuity to he settled on her Royal Highness the Princess Mary of Cam bridge, on the occasion of her approaching marriage with Prince Teck. The right hon. gentleman esplained that her royal highness was already in the re:eipt of en annuity for life of 3,0001., and he thought the proposal to raise it to 5,00 W. was liberal, moderate, and just, and one there fore which he could oonfidently ask the house to sanction. Mr. DISRAELI—I rise to second the resolution which has been moved by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. I am sure that we all take a deep interest in the happiness of the Princess Mary of Cambridge, and are most anxious that that happiness should be secured and increased by her marriage. (Cheers.) dir W. HUTT said that during his residence in Austria he became acquainted with Prince Teck, and he found that he was distinguished by intellectual and moral quali ties of character and by conduct which commanded the sincere respect and ensured the good will of every one who knew him. (Rear, hear.) Under these circumstances, both the country, the illustrious family of her royal high ness. and the Princess Mary herself, might be congratu lated upon the approaching marriage. ((heers.) The resolution was then unanimously agreed to. Sir C. O'LOGHLEN moved that the house should go into committee on this bill. Mr. WHITESIDE objected to proceeding with the bill at that late hour, and moved the adjournment of the debate. The house divided : Ayes Noes (Laughter.) The Speaker voted with the ayes, and the debate was adjourned. FINSBURY ESTATE BILL. On the motion for the second reading, Kr. BRUCE stated that he could not permit the bill to pass through committee in itepresent form. He could not allow that • the metropolis had been unfairly Co o with. The total sum received by the lioalesiseWal Commissioners had been 5,500,000/. ; of which 800,000/. had been allotted to the dimes of London ; of which 137,0001. bad been appropriated in the year 1864, sad 100,0001. in 1865. As the population of the diocese was only 2000,000, it would be seen that it had bad more then i ts share. The principle upon which the commis goners had acted was that their grants should be made where they were most wanted. The h ors. the promoter of the bill (Mr. Ayrton), that half of the reproved value of the estate should appropriabed to the payment of curates in the metropolis ; but there were large and spiritually destitute populations springing up in the northern counties which had an equal olaim.

A delegate meeting of reformers will be held at Manchester on Tuesday. NORTH LONDON COLLEGIATE SCHOOL FOR LADIES. —The annual distribution of prizes to the pupils of this college, which is the largest establishment of its kind in Eland, took place yesterday afternoon in the Vestry hall, King's-read, Camden-town, under the presidency of the Rev. Canon Champneys. A large number of the parents and friends of the pupils attended, in addition to several clergymen, including Revs. J. Bark, S. Buss, T. P. Dale, H. Phillips, H. Linden, W. Head, A. J. Buss, &c. I A letter was read from lady Ilardwicke, apologising for her absence. The annual report, which was read by the Rev. T. P. Dale, stated that the efficiency of the school, in numbers, discipline, and general condition, was fully maintained. The pla of giving English prizes on the standard, rather than, as heretofore, on the compe titive system, had now had a second year's trial, and had been found to work so well that it was hen forth to place the study of French on t43;orinend hence forth Twenty of the pupils—Li seniors and 7 juniors —presented themselves at the Cambridge local examination held in London at Christmas, and of the number 15 pored, and therefore received certificates from the university. The chairman referred to the importance of the college and its in creasing usefulness, and expressed the pleasure he felt at the attention which was being devoted to the moral and religious instruction of the pupils, as evinced by the fact that the first prize was given for knowledge of Scripture. The chairman then proceeded to award the prizes. Miss Whither, who was the most proficient of the competitors in the principal branches of English education, received prizes for knowledge of Scripture, general good conduct, natural philosophy, and the beat English essa y .

Napier Higgins moved in this ease for en cr ier to commit Mr. John Arthur Roebuck, M.P., for contempt of court, under the following circum stances Roebuck was the chairman of the board of directors of the abovenamed company. Some petitioners, who claimed to be paid • sum of upwards of 4,0001., pre sented a petition (which is to be heard on Saturday next), praying for an order to wind up the companr i . i On the 2nd June the following advertisement the Standard and three other newspaper :—"Mir d eneral Exchange Bank (Limited). 79, bellbird-street, London, June Ist, 1866. 1. The purpose for which Means. Clinch, Smith, and Co.'s petition has been presented can easily be imagined when it is known that the petitioners have no legal claims on the bank, and they know it. 2 The petitioners are not creditors. 3. That their pretended claims they are afraid to submit to legal arbitra ment. 4. That the proceeding by way of petition is supposed to be a safe means of doing mischief. Unscrupulous persons thus attempt, in dangerous times, to obteinhy morns of terror, w ha t justice will not give them. Under these circumstances the directors of the General Exchange Bank (Limited) look upon it as due to their own shareholders, and to those of all similar com panies, to resist this way of proceeding by petition in the case of • fairly disputed claim.—On behalf of all the directors, J. A. Roebuck, Chairman." It was contended in support of the motion that that advertisement was a contempt of court, for it prevented witnesses coming forward to give evidence in the matter of the petition, and that it was in other respects libellous and scandalous. The motion also asked for an injunction to restrain the directors from publishing any more adver tisements of the same or a like nature. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., and Mr. Roxburgh appeared for Mr. Roebuck and the directors of the company ; and Mr. Cot trell for the company itself. Lord Romilly expressed his opinion to be that the ad vertisement was an improper one, but not one of such im propriety as to justify his making an order to commit Mr. Roebuck. He thought, however, that he, or his counsel { should give an undertaking not to repeat the publication of the advertisement. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., gave the undertaking immediately. Lord Romilly then said he would dispose of the costs of this motion, after hearing the petition for the winding-up order, on Saturday. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—JuIta 7. Sittings in Banco.—(Before Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Shoe.) NM FRAY AND NR. JUSTICE BLACKBURN. Miss Fray, whose appearance contii;TiOetiii the court to renew her vexatious applicators, was received with a slight burst of laughter, maid I have to make a motion against Mr. Justice Bla ckburn. Mr. Justice Blackburn—Against me! Miss Fray (laughing)—Yes, my lord. Mr. Justice Blackburn—Then in that case I had better leave my learned brother to deal with you. (Laughter. His lordship then left the bench.) Mr. Justice Mellor—What is your motion, Miss Fray ! Miss Fray (laughing)—lt is a question that can only be answered by Mr. Justice Blackburn. She then referred to the action she had brought against Mr. Justice Blackburn, in which she accused him with malice and corruption in his judicial capacity, but which it was believed she could not do, and she had to pay the costs, amounting to 151. She added that his lordship had worried her very much for his costs. She had been here hundreds of times tof this court to complain. Mr. Justice Mellor said it was impossible to bring an action against a judge for anything he had done in his judi cial character. Miss Fray (aughing)—What I want to know is this. I have heard and I am inclined to believe that his lordship had received his costa from the Treasury, and if so, I think it is too much for him to require them twice over, once from me. Mr. Justice Mellor—Yon may be perfectlatis fi ed that he has not had them from the Treasury. With regard to the costa you have taken the benefit of the act and Mr. Justice Blackburn has had notice of it. Miss Fray (laughing)—l am quite sure you would not do it, but I am not so sure about Mr. Justice Blackburn. Mr. Justice Mellor—l cannot permit such remarks to be made, especially as I know the contrary to what you state is the fact. Besides, if he were here you could not, with propriety. put such a question to him. Do not treat this as a joke, but let the court know seriously what it is you want. I tell you again that Mr. Justice Blackburn has not received these costs. Miss Fray—l believe your lordship, but you may have been mialeiL Mr. Juatioe Mellor—lf Mr. Justice Blackburn were here you could not ask him. You could not put an indecent question to him. Miss Frey—l am sorry for that. (Laughter.) I very much doubt his not having received them from the Tres sugivanFdralym. w u t t o m ap ake f r u e r d th th er t inquiries . th es e mina:Lr o itihroughout more as a joke and an annoyance to the learned judge, left the court laughing. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Juxa 7. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE GEORGE NICHOLAR SANDLER. The bankrupt was described aa late of Grafton-place, Fitzroy-square, contractor with the Confederate govern. ment of America for the building and running of iron plated postal vessels. His aggregate liabilities are 10,955/. of which 4,5891. is due to unsecured creditors. The onl y assets are a claim on Messrs. W. S. Lindsay and Co., of Austinfriars, for 2,500/. ; one on Mr. P. Marc, clerk to Messrs. Lindsay, for 1,000/. ; on Messrs. Stringer for 500/. ; and on Mr. John Ramsay, late of the Confederate navy, for 100/. The bankrupt alleges that the claim on Messrs. Lindsay arises for commission under an arrangement with them relating to the contract with the Confederate government. This was an adjourned sitting for examination and discharge. Mr. Linklater appeared for the bankrupt, and said he believed there was no opposition. Mr. Lumley, representing the assignees, stated that the alleged assets were quite imaginary, and the assignees did not feel disposed personally to incur any expense in the matter. The Commissioner—l suppose there will be nothing coming from the contract with the Confederate govern ment. (A laugh.) . . . . , Mr. Liimley - said that nothing would be received from that source. The bankrupt's scheme with regard to iron plated vessels was quite visionary. His Honour—As there is no opposition, the examination will be passed and the order of discharge granted. >~ E , ds I~ i :11 rI~ THE POLICE COURT& WANDSWORTH. William no, a coachman, surrendered to his bail to further answer the charge of committing a serious assault upon a respectable married woman named Frances Young, by throwing an empty soda-water bottle at her while passing in a carriage on the return from Epsom races on the Derby Day. On this occasion Mr. Haynes appeared to pewecute. He stated that the prisoner had been remanded or the attend ance of the complainant, who was severely injured. He thought it was a case for compensation, but as en offer bad not been made by the prisoner, he should proceed to put the complainant in the witness-box. The complainant, who appeared very weak, was allowed to sit in a chair while giving her evidence. Shp stated that her name was Frances Young, and she resided at Tooting. On the 16th of May she was looking at persons returning from the races when something struck her on the head. She was stunned by the blow and remained insensible until the next day. She bad been under the care of a doctor ever since. She was still suffering from the effects of the injury. The prisoner called a witness, who merely proved that he did not see him throw the bottle. Mr. Ingham maid that as no compensation had been offered he should send the prisoner for trial. The prisoner was locked up in default of finding two sureties for his appearance. It is stated that during the hearing of the case of " Ryres v. the Attorney-General," the Chief Baron amused himself by making a fac-simile of one of the documents, in which the signatures were, at least, as like the real ones as those contained in the papers produced by the peti. tioner. THE CHARGE OF PERJURY AGAINST MR. JOHN SCOTT Rue/mi.—At the Westminster police-court yester day the investigation into the charge of perjury against Mr. John Scott Russell was resumed by Mr. Arnold.
