COURT OF EXCHEQUlR—Tairrianar. Menage In Bence after Whey Wm. TIE 3 Leans AND INDIAN RALLWAT U 0 M . FIAIIII - Or INFANT TO RAILWAY CALLS. The was a demurrer to a plea of infancy to a declaration kr ends. Prom the pleadings, it appeared that the defend ant limply pleaded that at the time of Wing the calls he was as Islam. Ur. Cowling, for the plaintiffs, contended that the plea of Musty was not an answer to the declaration which alleged that the defendant, being a ehareholder, certain calls Walt made.riginal subicri The plea did not allege that the lief-I:plant was aa ober, as in the ease of the Enniskillen Rahway Company the other day, or that he had repudiated the shares during infancy. These embalms make a wide dialer:doe between these mess, for that went on the 214 section of the general act, and the fact that the infant there was an original contractor with the company, and the court there held that the act, when speaking of shareholders, generally meant such persons se were competent to contract and become sharehoders. Now it may be tree that the defendant became a l shareholder by operation of law, and mit by hie own acts. If so, and the law clearly contemplates the ease of infanta holding shares, the plea is bad, otherwise the compenies would be placed In an awkward position. If infante, Be a broad proposition of law, cannot be seed for cells ender any circumstances, and the companies ma sicklier yo kes to register them as slareholdere, nor declare their shame /whited for ass-payment of calk, how are they is be dealt with ? He then referred to the " Cork and Basks Company' v. Commove," where the Court of Ow= had (leaded that an infant was liable for Calk under Ike general term of shareholders. Kr. Prentice, for the defendant, contended that the phial In the present case was substantially the same aa that in the Manishillea Railway Company, and the averments Ogled oat as emisions here were saperiarms in that MP, and did sot skeet the broad question is both eases, which 4, whe ther tbedeihndamt, b aa intuit, is liable for calls. It is :hts:=lnelaghteebrdraereZrai te tiol e fo co r a the in aft ft he we of age , . that ought to be replied. He cited " Cohen e. Armstrong, ' in 1 Y. end 8., 724, and " Williams and Moore" (11 M. and W., 266), in support of his armament. The policy of the law is to protect infants, end it makes in hag a print facie answer to any action or contract, and if it as be removed by a replication, the plaintiff must put it es the record. Mr. Hama Parke—This is not a ease of contract, but of purchase. The defendant is sued as a purchaser, and he may purchase if he pleases, but he cannot contract, and though mere infancy would be a sufficient plea to • declaration on a contract, the question is, whether you ought not to have gone on to aver that you had disavowed the purchase as you might do. no doubt. Mt. Prentice—TlN — plea '4OOl virtually contain such an averment In the allegation of infancy, which destroys the 'Detract Mr. Cowling haviag replied, relying on the case of the Cork and Bandon Rsilway Company, the only most of which in ezirence did outset out the pleadings, Mr. Baron Parke said that the court would endeavour to satisfy themselves as to the state of the record in that case before it would give any judgment.—Judgment deferred.

The ease occupied several hones, and involved two questions —whether the insolvent had improperlv got into Mr. Platt's debt, and whether he was • partner. For 30 years the insol vent had been consorted with the establishment of " Cooke sad Godfrey," the well known sitentia's in Southampton. street, Strand, end Coadnlactreet, liced-stroet.

Platt (who cru exa mined) denied that shypelimeeldirbeilenisted, sad that a gra tuity he had annually made had hem, by the insolvent, mastraed into a partnership. Mr. Oahe died in 1842, and Mr. Platt, his son in-law and ezeenter, became the sole owner, although the names of Godfrey mad Cooke were still seed. In April last the insolvent was flisderged for de &Wiens ia his account', having et the Ms* ed Ids dlecniwal 4001. a year as a salary, sad • yearly present, es Mr. Platt stated, bat which the imams alleged was a share of the profits. He now claimed a set of for his sham. The two questions—the manner in which Mr. Platt was a creditor to about 1,4001., and the alleged partnership, were examined into. Mr. Platt denied the alleged partnership, and Dlr. Inc*, the other manager of the badness, said he did net consider himself a partner, whilst on the other hand the insolvent set forth that he was to have had a shore of the profits, and had drawn money out of the ormeern. Several witnesses were examined, and at the rising of the mart the further hearing yea adjourned to Saturday. POLICE.-YESTEIDAT. GUILDHALL. Cneatou or Enasarrurarr. -C.

The advice. from burg of the 16th inst. repre sent an improvement generally in business, with a rasped of its continuance, as confidence was begin slag to revive. Sugars were in good demand, and ob tained an advance of 8 boo. per hundred peande on the quotations of the week sliding. Coffee was firm, with good businms, but rs holde not eager to make sales expe cti ng to _realise a further advance, as the dealer; were understood to be much out of stock. In cotton the market was heavy, and buyers not at all disposed to listen to the higher rates asked by holders. With so in creased a consumption of cotton, indigo was con sidered likely to sell well. The demand for wheat bad subsided, and sales could only be effected at a re duction upon the prices ruling the week previous. Money continued in the same abundance, with funds and shares all higher, but less derma for gold. There was a brisk exchange, with bills on L=don:paid higher. From St. Petersburg the letters report that sugars were in advance, and fine coffees scarce. 'the trans actions in tallow and hemp were active and extensive. Exchange on London, 36 13-16. The report was cur rent of the stoppage of the house of Messrs. Moses, Gebrader ;of Sekestow, near Moscow, for two and a half milli ons of silver rubles. According to advice; from St. Petersburg of Feb.l, in the Belgian papers, a rival to the miraculous re g=of California has already been found. A Kavelovalii, of that capital, who, for a somiderable time had superintended the workings of extensive . gold mines in Siberia, and in the coarse of mineralogical pursuits has latterly been exploring the interior of Africa, has discovered on the right beak of the Sornat, at one day's journey from Qssis many considerable hills or mountainsof auriferous iend. On the washing of these sands he found they yielded more gold th an those of Siberia. Pag in g his researches Anther he examined the shores of the Ramie, the Dye, the °cocks, of the Binisch-Angol and the Osmanli, and in all discovered deposits more or leas extensive of golden Nab. Re proposed therefore that miners and gold washers should be sent from Russia to try the grounds and imiirtake the washings on a large scale. woman BeakEE . 96 pa *sm. 1a1L3 3 3 a lrer r per Mrs 4364 pi" wasp. ifeeN 266T e f n r eeti C W i ti l l 1 pee Ot. 41.404111 Me. /114 L, 6 perl?e6.

The SECRETARY read the report of the directors, which stated that the total receipts on amount of revenue for the half-yaw ending the 31st of December last, hid been 386,0191 18s., to which was to be added the surplus of 31,6801. 84.64 remaining after payment of the last dividend, making a total credit of 400,6701.6 e. 6d., which, after de ducting working expenses, way leave rents, and interest on borrowed capital (including interest on the Great North of England sad Hartlepool loans) will leave a balance of 244,6791.3 e. 84. in favour of the company on the revenue account. In accordance with the opinion expressed by the directors in the statement issued to the proprietors last week they now recommend that a dividend he; declared at the rate of 61. per cent. per annum upon the consolidated stock and dividend bearing share capital of the company. After the payment of this dividend, and the half-year's rent of the Great North of England and Hartlepool Rail ways, a surplus of 69,7771.9 e. 6d. will remain to the credit of the company. Within the last four days the directors have had offers of loam to a very large amount at it per cent. interest, and there lea prospect that before long money may be obtained at a still lower rate. Should this prove to be the am, a mathrial saving will be elected in the item of inte rest upon borrowed capital, and no further calls will be made during the mane year. (Applause.) Since the last half.yearly meeting, temporary bridges ova the Tyne and Tweed have been constructed, and a continuous line of railway opened for traffic. The whole of the works in connexion with the Tyne bridge , are expected to be completed by the let of August next. The directors have oleo advertised for tenders for the eaten. don of the works on the Aucklend and Penther branches, ' the completion of which will form a direct communication ftr the coal from the Auckland district to the Sunderland and Tyne docks. The works will be let to be completed by the let of July, 1880. The directors looked forward to the opening of the Great Northern Railway as a certain means of securing the through traffic between London and Edin burgh to the east coast lines, which cannot fail to benefit this company most materially. The director' strongly urged the necessity of the proprietors using . all intimates with their parliamentary representatives to give their rapport to the measure which will be brought before parliament during the session relative to local taxation. The CHAIRMAN, in moving that the report be received, adopted, and circulated among the shareholders, said be had to announce that, after the meet careful consideration which the directors cnuld give to the questions they had given notice of to be brought before the meeting, as to the liming of the Newcastle and Carlisle and Marypore and Carlisle railways, they had determined not at present to submit those questions to the proprietors.—The report was received and adopted. Mr. PRANCE, of Rampaged, then brought under coed &ration a question as to the sole of tome Great N rth of England 151. share, by the Chairman to the company, and he moved a committee of five to investigate the matter. Mr. H. N. LOVE seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN at cues avowed the transaction alluded to, and expressed his readiness to submit the whole matter to the fullestiassetigatima. There was • long discussion on the subject, which ended in the appointment of the committee. Mr. MARTINEAU complained that the last call on the No. 1 end No. 2 extendmishares was not to take dividend, but merely to receive interest, which, he contended, was eontrary to the understanding arrived at by the obeervations of the chairman at a previous meeting. He moved accord ingly that they should receive dividend ; but, after some explanation, the quesdonwaswaived, the chairman promising that the directors would give it their full consideration before the next meeting. The meeting was then made for the purpose of submitting the drafts of three bills, one for coostructing certain branches in the counties of Northumberland and Newastle-upon.Tyne, and the other two for enabling the Newcastle-uponTyme and Carlisle Railway Company and the Maryport and Carlisle Railway Company to lease their lines and works to the York, Newcastle, and Berwick. The several resolutions were adopted, with the understand ing that the bills should be of a permissive character, and that no engagement should be entered into without the con. mot of the shareholders. LONDON AND BLACKWALL, Halt i yeatlireeing.—Leader , Feb, DANIBLL, pay SECRETARY read the report of the directors, wlleh stated, "On reference to the revenue account it would be ass that the receipts, including the balance from the pre view half-year, have amounted to 29,63.51, and that the total ensenditure has been 17,7831., leaving a balance of 11,8521 applicable to dividend. This will admit of the payment of It. 6d. per share, clear of Income tax, upon the present molted stock of the company, comprising 87,900 shares, will =deeds the number of shares on which the last diet. *ad was paid by 15,900. The extension account includes, hr the precast, several payments made in respect of the alterations now in program on the main line, and which are necessary foe the purpose of adapting it to the use of locomo the engine', and the reception of traffic from the extension line. The directors have not been able to include all the out standing charges, either for the extension or the alteration of the main line, nor have they taken credit for the value of the old materials, such u rails, theirs, rope, itc., the stationary engines, or the surplus property, the last of which is alone estimated to be worth 3111,N01. • but sa soon at the works are completed, end the istmeint accounts got in, separate statements will be prepared, owing the actual expenditure for the menden, and the Bost of the alteration of gauge and other weeks messested with the main line. There km been a abased* In the traffic, as compared with the 7.

The alveolars repeat their con viction that there will be a esseiderable saving in the working expellees under the locomotive, as com pared with the stationary engine system, and from • recent and careful review of the subject, they have no doubt that both the extension line, so far es the traffic to Bow is eincerned, and the main line, will be waked for two-thirds of the cost hitherto of working the mein line only. A joint station is now In course of con erection at the i"n nof the Eastern Counties Railway with the Waal. Ic. c , .on line. So soon as it is com pleted 1/1.1. .wellls. carried out for running the trains in c a 0.• vv It those on the Eastern Counties line, and the t ehtertain no doubt that the advantage derived by the public will cause a considerable and gradually increasing traffic to flow to and from our City terminus through this coscanel. As the powers for widening the line ben Mpg to Fewbareb-street, an apt for which was ob tied is the em lea of 1846, would eerie in July next, the dleedese have deemed it prudent to direct that au application he Miele parliament for an extension of the time for carry *. late elPset the pecans given by that act." CHAIRII sail, before moving the reception end adeptisa of the report, he wen desirous of making some eirensticas on various subjects contained in it. He would that anode to the alteration in the mode of traction, by the we ottbehetuaseive instead of the very system of =gds. asC s r en alra . =2, by a very as great stated fa the Wei. it* that wield be Awes& They knew from their oconstrj earring, hew great the expesew of the old system had Men, and weld estimate these of the new by knowing the figpsaese of the otter linos hadlway that were situated NOb tilawldves.

By tie new misty Fedi dotedilij hi'fe additional means fir wetting a greater traffic between Louden and kwsll, but could w ork from station to station, which they could not c'es hitherto by the old system. From the Bow line there was little question of their n eels. big a considerable, and perhaps a very large addition, to their present traffic. He hoped the directors of the Eastern Comtism Company would see the great advantage cf their City terminus not only to themselves but to the public generally, sad that the two contraries would soon work con jointly ; till then they must go on quietly, making the best of the pretreat arrangement. It was specified that the Easters Counties should stop their trains at the joist sta tion to bring in the passengers for Bow, who would us doubt prefer the Black asinine to may other mode of transit to the CitT. When they lust met, he gave out that the altered Ilse Irma be worked by the locomotives at lust two seethe ego, and if they now complained of the deny, he begged to say that it was from no fault of the directors or their odious but from the procrastination of some public functionaries, who were not quite so easily managed as persons under the control of the din Orton. He was happy to my that the working of the line on the new principle— and it had only been is operation for four or five days---wie as regular as mould be expected, sad when they came into fun working they would do their work in a shorter time than was required at present, for they tad only the north tine to work upon ; but the next effort would be to get the south line, by which they would be enabled to perform their I JIGMBRIMI math more conveniently. They might also expect seam edtitional Wale from the extension line to the docks, whisk maid be worked without any additional expense to the eamisiel. Looking at the whole, he thought they wad y = with him that they had now arrived at that which the directors had all along wished they I odd arrive at; and all he could say was, that their principal aim would now be to keep down the expenditure, and to helmet the line all the additional traffic that was to be obtsie in which they had already, to a certain degree, been weseemfal. He trusted the day was now approaching whin the proprietors would have to look back to small dividends sad large expenditure as only matters of history, and not es the fruits et working the line on the new princi ple In conelasion, the chairman moved that the report and accounts now read to the meeting be received and adopted. Mr. SMITH tecanded it, and would take that opportunity of asking the chairman when her Majesty's Commissioners of Wo od s and Forests would be kind enough to give them permission to work the locomotive line ? (Laughter.) The CHAIRMAN said it had been done, mid the line had been at work four or five days already. Mr. DOVER asked Ethers had been anything paid off the debentures. The CHAIRMAN replied that the shares, No. 1 and No. 2, were for the purpose of paying off the debenture debt, the automat of which would be seen as the debentures fell in. Mr. FISHER! thought a less number of directors might do for so small a line of railway. The CHAIRMAN observed that the board had been re duced from 10 to 7; there were originally 16 directors. Mr. FISHER said, still thou 7 took away one-sixteenth of the net profits of the concern. The CHAIRMAN hoped they would not do so for the future. (Laughter.) Mr. ABRAHAMS maid it wasthe act of the proprietors, he would admit, which allowed the directors still to retain the 1,0001. ; but as the object of the act was to induce economy, be thought the directors might have been content with the 7001. The CHAIRMAN said the directors were quite in the hands of the proprietors; any gentleman was competent to MOTS that their salaries be reduced to 7001. It was quite true that the line was only three miles and three-quarten long, but as 1,100.0001. had been spent upon it, he could assure the meeting that to make that a paying capital had been the source of great anxiety all along to the directors. The sub ject of salary, he again repeated, was not an object with the directors, and any shareholder was competent to move its re duction. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. WILSON observed that, as one of their paid ser mutts, at the large remuneration of 101.10e.,—he meant as one of the anditon ' —he could testify to the great trouble which mast have besntaken by the directors by only linking at their mode of keepiag the amounts. He, as an auditor, would there acknowledge that he had never beheld such a clear and excellent mode of account-keeping ; indeed, it was a pattern to the railway world. (Hear, hear) Therefore, the remark made by . a proprietor that the directors were overpaid was, in his opinion, unfair. Mr. Casa asked how many stations there were on the line at which the carriages would stop ?—The CHAIRMAN re plied five. A PROPRIBTOR asked is what proportion the old shares stood as regarded the others b—The CHAIRMAN said that the proportion was three old shares to one extension ; they were 241. shares. The report was then adopted unanimously.—Oeerge Lee and Joseph Bishop, &qrs., the directors retiring, were re elected unanimously. A vote of thanks wee then paused to the chairman and dirors, when the meeting adjourned. WINDSOR, STAINES, AND SOUTH-WESTERN. Ordinary Gowns! Meeting, London, Feb. 19; H. C. Lacy, Esq., in the chair. The SECRETARY read the directors' report, in which they state that the main line between Richmond and Da•chist has been worked, since its opening on the 22nd of August, by the London and Soutk-Western Company, in pursuance of an agreement already approved of, and that a half year's rent, at the rats of 5 per cent. on the amount of capital paid up, will be due in • few days. They also report that they have concluded an agreement with the Commis sienen of Woods and Forests, by which the royal meat is given to • line crossing the Thames near Black Potts, and thence through a small portion of the royal property into the town of Windsor. The consent of the authorities of Eton College and of the Thames commissioners has been also obtained, and the construction of the works has been let to Mr. Brasses. A bill authorising them to proceed with the formation of the line, &c., has been introduced into parliament, and would be submitted is the proprietors at that meeting for approval. The estimated oat of the line is 80,0001, and the bill gives power to the com pany to create that amount of new share capital. In com pliance with the standing orders of parliament a snbscriptioa contract was signed by persons representing the London end South Western Railway. The proportion of the new capital to which the shareholders who did not sign the contract are entitled was reserved, and will be allotted pro rata te those shareholders who will intimate, before the 15th March, their desire to receive an allotment. The CHAIRMAN having moved the adoption of the re- Ports Mr. WCALLAN said be will anxious to be informed when the bargain with the London and South-Western Company was to be brought to a clone. There were no more than about 5,000 shares out 50,000 not taken up, and he thought that it was not worth while to keep up the ex pense of a separate board of direction on account of se very small a sum. The CHAIRMAN said there was every prospect of a speedy completion of the bargain, but it was not in his power to name an exact time, as the option regarding the lending of the two undo takings lay with the South. Western Company, and he • -tw no reason why they should be anxious to burry on the al% togementa. Dr. G. LONGSTAFF observed that in all probability when the loop line was opened the South Western Company would be more anxious than it was at present to obtain pos session of this railway. He wished to know in what manner the giving way of the bridge in Kew-park had been accounted fee by their engineer. He believed that some blame had been attributed by their engineer to the government en gineer, but he was assured that that gentleman was Napo& sible only for the elevation. A great deal of money had been spent in engineering, and he was decidedly of opinion that it the misfortune had occurred through the mismanage ment of Mr. Locke, the expense should not be thrown on them. He also would like to be informed whether the works which had been let to Ptr.Brassey had been previously put up to public competition. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, stated that Mr. Locke had made a report oa the subject of Hew-bridge, which he would read if it were called for, but they had not se yet been charged anything ton the restoration of that portion which had failed. Previous to letting the contract to Mr. Bratney, the engineer had gone over the line, and having calculated its cost at the prices of the day, recommended the directors to let the contact to Mr. Briuney, provided he took it at the sum which he had estimated it would cost. Mr. Brams had taken it for a smeller sum than had been named by their engineer, and they had been saved a great deal of trouble in oonsequence. The report was then adopted, and the outgoing directors and auditors were re-elected. A Special Meeting was then constituted, and a resolution adopted, approving of the new bill for enabling the company , to make an extension of the line from Daschst to the town of New Windsor. After which the meeting separated. CORK AND WATERFORD. Haff-yearliii;s7ing. 2 lLoS;d7;, Feb. Right Hon. T. WM in the chair. The report stated that since the last Dentine of the proprietors the directors had con• sidered it Gr the advantage of the company that interest on deposits ahead br suspended, and that they had not thought it expedient to take anp steps towards the prosecution of the works. The espenditure for the put you amounted Ito 5201. 15e. 75., and there had been no receipts for the mane period. The balance in favour of the company amounted to 2,3961. 12s. 2d. The CHAIRMAN said since their last meeting =consider able redaction had been effected in the expeaditure. The sum originally allowed to the directors was 8001. per annum, but it had now been reduced to 2001. per annum, the expense of the cake establishment had been reduced from 7001. to 1001. per annum, and a similar redaction had taken place in the malarial of the auditors, and the amount of office rent, to. In the present state of affairs to Imbed they had con sidered that it would be imprudent ma the put of the com pany to commence new work; and to make any new call, and they considered It polity lo wait for the reappearance of energy in that issantsy, and ma gi NM so-operation and smalinsliest between the capitalists of this country and die people of Ireland should be effected. Them was as daubs that at ao his. lizt there mast be railway ammaamicatisa %newels Cork and Waterbed, as it would net be a matter of chaos with the loopla ad dismahat a =Om of aessuity. It was, he banned, the 'pinks that Ireland would farm a °moan the suture sad western hemispheres i salfis tide point if view these railways extending from the east= to the western soden of that 'Dupery meet asessamily be predastive of the pealert gamma to • one misaested with them. He trusted that a eo4mu3rstka between the Limed* and Waterford and the aterbril mid Oak Vass wadi illintately be famed, es nothing scald be mon simmtegoses tri these railways then andi a irommoisaillen. (Beer, bear.) As ere 'sly el the line between Waterbed sad Liaaerish and f r a " bellied a n Manny had lima dodged, the tows et iisesxd em at moat lamina nadir a Mats of dspres- -ion, hut there was little doubt that this would he removed when the railway should be oompleted. Mr. WIBHAW considered that if the shareholder, con sulted their own Interests, they would wind up the affairs of the c twiny without delay. He confessed that he had no confidence whatever in the undertaking, as he felt eenvinced that the Great &others and Western must supersede the Cork and Wtecrford line. He must say that he felt surprised to find that • suns of 2001., out of the funds which ought to have been divided amongit the shareholders, bed been al lowed to the directors when there was no business to transact. Mr. HADOW defended the conduct of the directors. He quite agreed with the hon. proprietor that the affairs of the company should be wound up, if it could be easily effected ; but, to dinars the oompeny legally, they must first obtain an act of parliament, and the would involve very great ex pense. If it were the general wish of the shareholders that an act of parliament Ghoul be obtained for this purpose, the directors would, he had no doubt, take the necessary steps for obtaining it, but he thought they should bear in mind that they would have to go to very great expense, and even then perhaps they should not obtain the act. Vikh regard to the salaries of the directors he must say that they had onerous duties to perform, anti it was unreasonable to expect that gentlemen could attend to the affairs of the company if they were not remunerated for their loss of time. Mr. P. BUTLER, 11. P., considered that the strictest economy had been pleased by the directors in the manage ment of the company's funds. With regard to winding up the affairs of the company, no one would be more anxious for this than be would be, of he considered that it could be conveniently effected. He had had the opinion of many gentlemen who were well acquainted with such proceedings, and they had all agreed that it would be both expensive and inconvenient to seek to obtain the necessary act of par liament, and he believed that government was averse to granting any such act. After some further conversation, the report was adopted, and resolutions were passed which provided that the directors should be paid the sum of two guineas for each attendance at their meetings, that the salt ' ries of the auditors should be reduced to five guineas each, and that the number of directors should be reduced to 13 lee the present year. The following gentlemen were then re-elected directors : P. 1). H4dow, Esq., G. Emery, Esq., Jas. Murphy, jun., Esq., Geo. Ashlin, Esq., and T. S. Coppinger, :Req. Mr. Wilson was elected auditor in the place of Mr. T. Bates, and the chairman having announced his intention to resign his offices as chairman and director the proceedings termi nated.
