8 4 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. I HOUSE OF LORDS.—Ttlaviv, JVfl Their lordships met at 5 o'clock. • . RAILWAY LEGISLATION. 'the Marquis of CLANRICARDR ga ve notice; thaiau Thursday he should move for returns in reference to the Mending orders relating to legislation on railways and public works. THE CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that in consequence of the amendments made by their lordships in this bill, he should on Thursday to go into committee on the hill pro forme, in or der the amendments might be printed. THE EARL OF CLARENDON AND THE CONGRESS OF PARIS.—PERSONAL EXPLANATION. The Earl of CLARENDON—My lords, I have to ask your indulgence on a matter personal to myself. I know it is very irregular, and ought not to be permitted, that :allusion should be made to anything that passes in another place ; but your lordships will have probably seen in the newspapers that several charges were made against me last night in a spirit and tone which 1 do not think were deed for, and which I expect your lordships will condemn. These statements must be manifestly incorrect to all persons who are acquainted with the subject to which they reter,and my inclination would have been to have passed them by altogether without notice ; but there is one of them that I am not disposed to allow to peas without notice, because I think my personal character is involved in a direct manner. I read in the newspaper this morning a statement that I was said at the congress of 1856, to have metered into a conspiracy to put down the free press of Swope. Now, my lords, if I know myself at all, I think I may affirm that I am not likely to enter into a conspiracy of any kind—(hear, hear)—still leas to enter into a conspiracy against the press, of whose essential benefit and absolute necessity I defy any man to have a stronger appreciation than myself. I should hope, therefore, that my simple but unqualified denial of the charge would be sufficient to satisfy your lordships of the groundlessness of it. (Hear, hear.) But I have other evidence than that on which I rely. The question of thepress was mentioned once, and once only, at the Congress of Paris. It was mentioned by the president et the congress, Count Walewski, who stated, after all the business of the congress was over, that the press in Bel gium had created some danger to the friendly relations be tween France and that country. It was not of the press edited and established by Belgian subjects, and for the use of the Belgian people, that he complained, but it was of of certain papers that were published in Belgium by French esilee for the purpose of being smuggled into France, and which was disseminated among the lower dames sad the army of France, preaching, not only revolution, but the assassination of the Emperor ; and Count Walewski thought—l really do not know why—that some expres sion on the part of the plenipotentiaries there assembled would strengthen the bands of the Belgian government la putting an end to a state of things which endangered the relations of the two countries. My reply to this state ment of the president of the congress is reported in the protocol of the day, which, with your lordships' permission, I will read. It is as follows :—" As regards the observa tions offered by Count Walewski on the excesses of the Belgian press and the danger that may result therefrom far the adjoining countries, the plenipotentiaries of Eng land admit their importance, but as the representatives eta country in which a free and independent press is, so to say, one of the fundamental institutions, they cannot associate themselves to measures of coercion against the press of another state. The first plenipotentiary of Great Britain, while deploring the violence in which certain organs of the Belgian press indulge, does not hesi tate to declare that the authors of the execrable dpctrine to which Count Walewski alludes, the men who preach assassination as the means of attaining political objects, are undeserving of the protection whichguarantees to the press its liberty and its independence." I think if the right hon. gentleman who made the charge bad been present on that occasion he would not have held different language. Of this lam sure, there is not one of your lord ships here present who would not disapprove in the strongest manner of the doctrine of assassination. The right bon. gentleman either knew of the protocol or be did not If he did know of the protocol, I should be prepared to characterise the charge as it deserves ; if he did not know of it, if he ,lid not know of what I said on that ocoa aion, this explanation may be necessary. PUBLIC SCHOOLS BILL. On going into committee on the Public Schools Bill, Lord HOUGHTON urged the advisability of adding representatives of art and science to the special commis ion. In committee on the bill, The Earl of ELLENBOROITGH objected to the nomi• Nation to scholarships being throw', open to competition, shad moved an amendment against that provision. The amendment, on a division, was rejected by 58 to 38. A proposal of Lord HocuirroN, to add Lord Wrottesley to the special commission, was, on a division, lost by 44 to 39. The bill passed through committee with some verbal amendments. THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS MARY OF CAMBRIDGE. The LORD CHANCELLOR read the following message from the Crown : " VICTORIA R. " Her Majesty having agreed to a marriage proposed between her Royal Highness the Princess Mary Adelaide Wilhelmina Elizabeth, youngest daughter of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and his Serene High ness Francis Paul Charles Louis Alexander Prince of Teck, has thought fit to communicate it to the House of Lords. The many proofs which the House of Lords have afforded of their affectionate attachment to her Majesty's person and family leave her Majesty no doubt of their readiness to concur in enabling her Majesty to make a further provision for her royal highness." The Pensions Bill went through committee after tome remarks from Lords Rom ILLT and Ctinmeronn, who took exception to certain clauses affecting Chancery officials. The house adjourned at 25 minutes to 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TCEBDAY, JuNs 5. The SPEAKER took the chair about ten minutes before 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BIJSINIM The Hemel Hempsted and London and North-Western Railway Bill, and the South Staffordshire Railway Bill, were read a third time and passed. Mr. 11. CARTER took the waths and his seat on his re election for Winchester. THE BALLOT. Mr. H. BERKELEY gave notice that he should move a resolution upon the subject of the ballot either at the end of this month or the commencement of the next. (Hear, and a laugh.) FORGED COMMUNICATIONS TO NEWSPAPERS, Mr. 1). GRIFFITH asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he had obtained any clue to the person who lately forged a communication from him self to the Afornino Post ; and whether the person who some time back forged a letter from the private secretary of Lord Clarendon to the Times had been discovered and punished. Mr. LAYARD replied that there was remain to believe that these foolish and mischievous forgeries had proceeded from the same hand. At present he could not inform the ton. gentleman who was the guilty party, but inquiries were being made which he trusted would lead to his dis covery. THE REFORM BILL ID answer to Sir 8. NOKTHCOTE, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not intended to bring on the Terminable Annuities Bill on Thursday, but the billa for parliamentary reform would be the business of the evening, after a communication from the crown in reference to a member of the royal family bad been considered. A series of amendment. on the Re form Rills, in order to fuse them into one bill, would be in the hands of members this day, and the bills as a draft Dill would be printed, and he moved that they be so printed. After a discussion on the point of order, the motion was withdrawn. THE CONGRIM. General PEEL—I wish to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer or the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether it is true that the proposed congress has been given up' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I am sorry to state that I must give an answer substantially in the affirmative to the question of the right hon. and gallant gentleman. The first communication made to the British government was a telegraphic message received last night from France, stating that in the opinion of the French go venunent the conference was at an end, in consequence el the answer from Austria imposing conditions that were regarded as impracticable. NI , e are now in possession of the Austrian despatch upon the subject, and the sub stance of it is this:--,She required a definite as surance that all the powers which were to take part in the projected conference should be ready to renounce the pursuit of any special or particular interest to the detriment of the general tranquillity ; and the Austrian government went on further to explain that sentiment by saying that in order that the work of piece which the cabinet' had in view might be in a nand/ties to be ltatif " ii;ffn cha it • isha ' it *est pee 1 shoal be agreed to exclude from the delibera tions of the conference anything that would tend to give *Any of the states who were then invited to the meeting any territorial augmentation or increase , of lower. -lobe requirement of ouch an engagement beforehand lints ttegesded by , *e gournment of 'France as equivalent to the refusal of a ounferenne, and u rendering it impossible ; and the government of England are are agreed in their view of the case with the government of France. All prospeat of the meeting of a confereue must, therefore, I fear, be regarded as at au eud. WEtigEgiVir 31:Tht 1 1tE"866. COMPULSORY CHURCH RATES BILL In re ... ply to Admiral DUNCOMBE, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that at this period of the session, considering the state of the public business, it was very material to obtain the judg ment of the house on the second reading of this bill, and to facilitate an expression of its opinion on the subject. He did not think the occurrence of the commemoration at Oxford, which would only be attended by a small number of members of the house, was a sufficient reason for further postponing the consideration of the bill. MEDICAL OFFICERS (IRELAND.) Mr. MACEVOY then rose to move—That, in the opinion of the house, her Majesty's government should now adopt the recommendations of the select committee of ls. 4, which recommended " her Majesty's government to take into consideration the claims of Ireland to a grant of the half-cost of medical officers of unions, with the view of providing for the same in future, as is now the practice in England and Scotland," fortified as such recom mendation is, by the report of the select committee on taxation of Ireland in June, 180, who repotted that with regard to the grants for poor-law medical officers and workhouse schoolmasters, "it would be reasonable that the same aid should be extended to Ireland as is already extended to England." Mr. P. DAWSON seconded the motion. The CHANCELLOR of theEKCHEQUER said it would not be necessary for him to trouble the house at any length, as the statement made by the lion. gentleman who had moved the resolution (Mr. WEvoy) seemed to be a very fair one, so far as he could gather its purport. When last the question was before the house he opposed it. He had objected to the recommendation of the committee of 1858. because he was under the impression that it was made after the proper inquiry had come to an end, and after several members of the committee had absented themselves. The more important reoommenda tion was that of the committee of 184:5, and which was still under inquiry. It was quite impossible to look at questions of this kind without at the same time taking into consideration other questions having reference to the local rites and to the comparisons of charge in each country. Upon the whole he thought that Ireland was in a favourable position as compared with England and Scot land, but he did not wish to deal with the statements of the hon. gentleman in a captious spirit. He did not seek to escape from the effects of the recommendation of the committee of 1865. He hoped the hon. gentleman would nut press his motion to a division, and he felt that he would not do so when he gave him the assurance, that although the government could not renounce their opinions, he was prepared to accede to the motion. (Hear, hear.) It would, however, be necessary to cause an Inquiry to be made into the degree of state control which would be absolutely requisite where public money was to be given, and therefore the government would cause an examination to be made into the system of pay ment, both to schoolmasters and to medical officers of unions in Ireland, and that would be entered upon with out any unreasonable delay, and after that was done pro vision would be made for the payment out of the consoli dated fund. After some conversation the motion was withdrawn. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. . _ .. . - Mr. B. COCHRANE moved that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to issue a royal commission to inquire into the constitution of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the Office of Public Works, and the O ffi ce of Woods and Forests, with the object of seeing whether some means might not be devised by which the improvements of the metropolis might be carried out in a more comprehensive and economical manner, and with greater unity of purpose. The hon. member pointed out the various defects and shortcomings which, in his opinion, marked the local go vernment of the metropolis, and suggested, as the beat means of providing a remedy, the amalgamation of the departments mentioned in his motion, and the appoint. ment of a chief secretary and two under secretaries to carry out the works now intrusted to those boards. Mr. AYRTON opposed the motion, as likely to aggra vate the evils complained of. Sir W. JOLLIFFE expressed his satisfaction that Mr. Cochrane had drawn attention to the subject,and although he was not sure that legislation was necessary, he thought that some reform in the system for regulating the traffic of the metropolis might, with the concurrence and approval of the commissioners of police, be adopted with advantage. Mr. COWPER said that although the hon. gentleman who had introduced the motion had dealt with an impor tant subject in an interesting manner, it was open to the double objection that it was inopportune in point of time, and that the changes which he had suggested were imprac ticable. A committee of that house was already inquiring into the local government of the metropolis, and it would be neither conformable to the usage of parliament, nor re spectful to that committee, to appoint a commission to investigate the same subject before they had made their final report. He concurred with all that had been said as to the defects and deficiencies of the metropolis, and he was astonished that the inhabitants of London had so long endured the defective organisation by which its govern ment was carried on. Sir G. GREY said he had given directions that a bill should be prepared, the principle of which would be to lay down regulations, which would be applicable to tLe whole metropolitan police district, with power to the authori ties to make subaidiary regulations, to be enforced at par ticular times and in particular places. It would also provide additional police for the metropolis and the City. He hoped to be able in a few day. to lay the bill upon the table. ~ The motion was then withdrawn. MESSAGE FROM THE CROWN.—MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS MARY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought up a message from the Crown announcing the approaching marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Mary of Cambridge with Prince Teck, and expressing a hope that the House of Commons, from their attach. went to her Majesty's person and family, would enable her ministers to make due provision for her royal highness. The SPEAKER having read the royal message, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that it should be taken into consideration on Thursday next. The motion was agreed to. COUNTY ASSESSMENTS. Mr. KNATCHBITLL-HUGISEN obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to county assess. ments. HUNDRED BRIDOIN. Mr. KNATCHBULL-HUGMEN also obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to the repair of Hundred-bridges. INJURIES BY DOGS. Sir C. O'LOGHLEN obtained leave to bring in a bill to render owners of dogs liable for injuries by their dogs. PUBLIC HEALTH. Mr. BRUCE obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to the public health. On the motion of an 'MEMBER, the house was then counted, and only twenty-two members being present the house stood adjourned at 20 minutes to 8 o'clock. Bairinwavaa ELECTION.—The nomination is fixed for Wednesday, and the polling on the following day. Great excitement prevails in the borough, and the eon test is likely to be very severe and close. On Monday evening, Mr. Walter Ragehot, the liberal candidate (the editor of the Economist). addressed a crowded meeting of his' supporters, who received him most enthusiastically A resolution was unanimously agreed to. " That this meeting, having heard a declaration of Mr. Bagehot's poli tical principles, approve of the same, and consider him a fit and proper person to represent this borough in parlia ment, and further pledges itself to use every legitimate effort to secure his return." THE GENERAL EXCHANGE BANE (LisrivEn).—The shareholders and friends of this bank assembled last even ing, on the invitation of the directors, at a soiree, held at the Whittington Club, Arundel-street, Strand, to hear explanations from the board with reference to the petition at present pending in the Court of Chancery for the wind ing up of the concern. Mr. J. A. Roebuck, M.P., occupied the chair ; and, after stating the objects for which the shareholders were celled together, stated that the bank was in a sound position. It owed no man anything, and was fully prepared to meet all liabilities. Ile then called upon Mr. Edmunde, solicitor to the company, to explain the circumstances connected with the proceed ings against the bank in the Court of Chancery. Mr. Edmunds having made a statement in reference to the claim of the petitioners, Messrs. Clench, Smith, and Co., said he had no doubt whatever that, with the support of the shareholders, the bank would be able successfully to contend against the difficulties which surrrounded the undertaking. The explanation of Mr. Edmund. was con sidered highly satisfactory ; and resolutions were adopted thanking the directors for resisting the claim of the petitioners, and expressing the fullest confidence in their management. A vote of thanks to the chairman, which was carried with acclamation, concluded the proceedings. ACCIDENT AT GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday evening, about a quarter past five o'clock, an accident occurred at Guildhall. The yard is being covered in for the reception of the Duke of Edinburgh on Thursday next, and a largo number of workmen are employed in completing the ar rangements. One of the cross supports of the scaffolding, upon which about twenty carpenters and paper-hangers were at eork, broke short of near one side of the poles, and threw the whole of the workmen to the ground. Those who were immediately over the fracture fell from a height of about 15 feet, hut those who were further off slid down, and had their falls broken, so that they received but a few scratches bruises, and shakes. The unfortunate men were taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where they received ewe, care sad attention. TREATMENT OF TAE SICK IN LONDON WuRKHOUSEB. rniMonclay Mr. 8.. Basil Cane, a special commis sioner of t c ,he Poor-law Board, opened an inquiry at the Strand I. nion Workhouse on charges made against the management of the sick and infirm in that place by a per son-who had Leld the position of head-nurse there. This is the first of a series of investigations which, it is ex pected, will be instituted into the several workhouses, the management of which has been described by the late head nusse in them in papers laid before the Poor-law Board by she Earl of Carnarvon, for the Association for the Im provement of Metropolitan Workhouse Infirmaries. There were many guardians present, and Mr. Ernest Hart and Mr. J. C. Parkinson attended for the association. Matilda Breton was called and sworn. She said she was formerly head (paid) nurse at the Strand Union Workhouse, and she took charge of the sick and infirm inmates on the 21st of August last. There were twenty-two wards in all in her charge,and there were sick people in all of them. The claasification of the sick in the house was very bad indeed — much worse than there was any need for—and the nursing of the sick and the crowding of the wards were a positive disgrace. The medicine was given at any hour or anyhow by!theinurses, who were all paupers with the exception of the head nurse, and it was of no =frequent occurrence that the medicine from a bottle, given to one patient at one time, was given to another at another time. The pauper nurses seemed to have the whole control over the diets of the sick, and it very frequently happened that the beer was stopped of all the sick and infirm patients, who were told that there was none in the house. This happened about once a week. Once complained to the matron, but such a fuss and bother was made about it—the matron scolding the patients and others who complained for complaining to the nurse—that she never again complained. The ra tions of meat, too, the poor people said, were often short in - quantity. The stimulants, as wine and spirits, ordered by the medical officer, were handed over to the patients themselves on the master's order. Witness, on first going into the house, had administered them herzelf, as in other hospitals, at stated times ; but the paupers wanted to have these things by them, and she had good reason to believe that the stimulants were given to thepauper nurses toobtain attention, sold tothem, or stolen by them. Another evil connected with the house was, that able-bodied paupers were wandering over the sink wards. Not merely husbands who came to see sick wives, and wives who came to see sick husbands, but others who came to beg or buy the uneaten meals of the patients. The patient§ sold their food to pay for their washing, for the washing which was done in the house by pauper laundresses was so badly done for those who did not pay for it, that the poor people would do anything rather than wear the things. Witness,whenever she saw any of these badly-washed clothes, sent them back again, and she had sent the same things back three times ; but the laundry women did not care, and they seemed quite inde pendent of the master and matron. These women were often drunk, and they got the drink from the nurses, so witness had good reason for believing, and the nurses obtained it from the patients. This bad been told her by one of the laundry women, who had been locked up in the receiving ward for being drunk and disorderly. The wards under witness's charge were very badly ventilated—in fact the atmosphere in them was so bad that she loathed the going into them. The attendance was very bail, the pauper nurses being quite unfit for their office ; an instance of which she gave in the fact that on one occasion two of these nurses, both of whom were sick them selves, in endeavouring to raise a sick man, so pulled him along the bed that a portion of his skin, which had ad hered to the sheet, was torn off, and a large place in his back was left bleeding. This was a bed sore forming through the man not being properly changed. He died the day after this happened. A great part of her time was taken up in searching over the house for beds for the patients, who were removed long before they were well, to make room for others who were worse ; and though they were warded in the sick ward, sick slept all over the house, down even to the receiving ward ; and when this was full, some clean patients were sent into the dirty ward (the ward for " dirty " came). Some of the poor sick people, after being in the sick ward all day, had, in going to another part of the house to sleep, to cross an open yard, and this in all weathers. She instanced as the evil arising from this practice two cases, one in which a poor man who was getting well, took cold and got erysipelas ; and another, a young woman, who catching cold had an attack of rheumatism. The man she had mentioned was sent to the foul ward and placed between an itch case and a man covered with sores. The doctor could not help this, as the whole house was full. Each ward had a pauper nurse and helper, and these persons were not com petent to perform their duties. She said she always found medical o ffi cers kind to the patients, and she had not found guardians unwilling to find comforts for the sick if their wants were made known to them. In the course of a long crosp-examination by the commis sioner it was further elicitedthat the nurses of the child ren in the house used to sell the children's milk to the patients for a id. a pint, and that the medical officer had had this proved to him, fur he punished the women for doing it. In cross-examination by Mr. Ernest Hart the witness stated that one of the pauper male nurses was dismissed or dpoaed from his position for tampering with the patients' food. She was not permitted to know the exact reason, and the nurse was succeeded by an ex-potman who had never seen a sick-ward before, and who was so infirm himself that one of the sick patients assisted him for half the extra rations and half the emoluments, which amounted to la. a week, the share being 6d. each. The master also cross-examined the witness, but without altering her evidence, and many of his questions the com missioner considered unnecerlary. The Chairman of the guardians then asked some ques tions not bearing on the case, as to why the witness had not written to the guardians and informed them. She re plied that she had told a committee of the house and they had taken no notice. He then went on to address some observations to her of a character which a guardian considered insulting, and said the chairman was not justi fied in putting, for the witness had spoken very openly. The Commissioner agreed, and said the witness had given her evidence in a very straightforward manner. The proceedings were then adjourned. HEALTH OF LONDON. It appears from the return issued by authority of the Registrar-General that in the week that ended on Saturday, June '2, the births registered in London and twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,390 ; the deaths registered, 3,314. The annual rate of mortality was 23 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1.111 boys and 1,025 girls, in all 2,136 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years 18.56-65 the average number, corrected for increase of population, was 1,922. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,540. It was the twenty-second week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for that week was, with a correction for in crease of population, 1,195. The mortality is still very high. It is in excess of the estimated amount by 345. The annual rate of mortality last week was 26 per 1,000 in London, 27 in Edinburgh, and 24 in Dublin ; 26 in Bris tol, 26 in Birmingham, 41 in Liverpool, 33 in Manchester, 23 in Salford, 30 in Sheffield, 30 in Leeds, 15 in Bull, 26 I in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 34 in Glasgow. THE FATAL ACCIDENT T(.) MR. PARKER, Q.C. TIE Yesterday Dr. Lankester opened en inquest at the - Mitre, Craven-terrace, Hyde-park-gardens, on the body of Mr. Kenyon Stephens Parker, late Q.C., and examiner at the Court of Chancery, who met his death through being knocked down and run over in Chancery-lane. Mr. Henry Chas. Adamson Parker said—l am eon of deceased. He was 77 years of age. He was a Q.C., and examiner in the Court of Chancery. He was very strong and bale. I heard of the accident at three o'clock last Thursday after noon. I did not hear him (deceased) say anything about the accident. He had two wounds on the left side of the head ; his right arm was broken ; and he had a wound in his right thigh. He died from the injuries he had re- ceived on Saturday last. He had not been ill previously. It seems to me, from what I have heard, that an omnibus driver was to blame. Mr. Charles Otter, of Brent Lodge, Harwell—l am son-in-law of deceased. I am an examiner in Chancery. About half -past 1 last Thursday he came into my office in Chan cery-lane and told me he was going to his son's chambers ' in New-square, Lincoln's-inn. I said if he would wait there ten minutes I would join him. A few minutes afterwards I went downstairs and was told that Mr. Parker bad met with an accident. I found him seated in a cab in Chancery-lane bleeding from the head. I took him to King's College Hospital, where he was attended to in every possible way. He was seen by Sir William Fer„;-uson. Dr. Priestly very kindly lent his carriage for i the purpose, and deceased was placed in it on a mattress ; and conveyed home, where he died. I did not have any conversation with him about the accident. The Coroner said he had merely opened the inquiry so as to be enabled to I order the burial of the body, which was in an advanced state of decomposition. He would adjourn the inquiry at that stage in order that evidence might be gathered, and the case fully gone into. The inquiry was then ad journed. QUEENSTOWN, JUNE s.—The Inman steamship City of New York, from New York on the 26th May, ar rived here at 12.30 p.m. to-day, with 4,002,306 dole. in specie, and 414 passengers.

URTS. MANSION-HOUSE. • TheUnivereal Consolidated Banking Company (Limited), whir& carries on its business in Cheapaide, was summone d for refusing to deliver a copy of its list of shareholders and the amount of capital subscribed, upon application to that effect having been made to them. The summons was issued under the 37th emotion of the Joint-Stock Com panies Registration Act, which directs that it shall be lawful for a magistrate to inflict a penalty of 21. for every day upon which the a ll eged default shall have been made! Mr. Wontner said he appeared in support of the present summons, which was instituted for the purpose of carrying out the very wholesome provisions of an act of parliament called the " Joint-Stock Companies' Registration Act," the object of which was to enable the publio to have an op portunity of examining the register of shareholders, and to ascertain the actual amount of capital that had been subscribed, and thus put a check to the proceedings of bubble companies, and prevent them from de frauding the public. The complainant was a pro fessional gentleman, one of whose friends or clients had an interest in the Universal Banking Corporation, who were the defendants, but as the latter did no t feel inclined for private reasons to put himself forward in the matter, the complainant, in the interest of the public, had felt it his duty to do so, and after an examination of the affairs of the company, had thought it right to insti tute the present p r oceedings. Mr. Wontner then pro- ceeded to state t ha t by the prospectus of the Universal Banking Corporation (Limited), the capital was stated to be 2,0 IW,OOO/. in 20,000 shares of 10 1 . each, upon which 2/. 10s. had been called up. Mr. Smith objected to these details being gone into. He said he was there on behalf of the company to meet a spe cific charge, which was that of refusing to deliver a copy of the list of shareholders, and he submitted that the court had no right to enter into any other questions. Alderman Blenhi said it appeared to him tha Mr. Wontner was perfectly justified in placing before hin t , the circumstances connected with the company, and the terms upon which it was placed before the public. Mr. Wontner then proceeded to state that the capital of the company was represented to be 2,000,0001., upon which 2/.los. per share had been paid,l/. ss. upon application, and 11. ss. on allotment, on the whole of the 20,000 shares, but upon examining the register it was found that the whole number of shares that had been taken was only 6,340, on which about 10,0001. bad been paid, but 5,000 of these shares, it appeared by the register, had been allotted to the directors, and the word " can celled " was written against the whole of those 5,000 shares, so that the company appeared to be carrying on its business with only about 1,500 shares issued, on which something like 2,000/. had been paid, which constituted the whole of their capital; and he could not help saying that it was most irrational for any banking company to hold out to the public that they were carrying on a safe business under such circumstances. Having ascertained the state of things as disclosed upon the register of the company, the complainant applied for a copy of it, but he was unable to obtain it. He was put off from time to time, and in point of fact he could not obtain a copy of the document, and it was not until the present summons had been served upon the secretary that a copy was left at his office. Upon an examination of this supposed copy, however, the complainant discovered that it was to:ally at variance in many essential particulars with the entries in the register at the offices of the company,and that in point of fact it gave no information whatever so far as regarded the actual condition of the company, and the complainant, therefore, determined to persevere in the matter on behalf of the public. Mr. R. Spyer, the chief clerk in the Joint-Stock Com panies Registration Office, produced the register containing the terms of the original registration of the Universal Banking Corporation. It appeared that the original intention was to ster under the title of Challis's Baulking Company. The capital of that company was to have been 20,0001., but under the new title of the Universal Banking Corporation (Limited) notice appeared to have been given of an intention to raise the capital to 1,900,000/., which was proposed to be raised by 190,000 shares of 10/. each. Mr. Smith again interposed, and said be should really submit that this had nothing whatever to do with the real question at Issue. The only thing to be decided was whether the company had disobeyed the provision of the act of parliament, which required them to supply a copy of their list of shareholders. Mr. Wontner said that a discretion was vested in the magistrate as to the amount of penalty that should be in flicted in case of a conviction taking place, and it was most important in reference to that question that it should be shown that there was an object to deceive the public. The capital of the company was represented to be two minions, when in point of fact it did not amount to as many thousands. Mr. Smith said that there were other tribunals specially appointed under the act of parliament to take cognisance of the matter referred to by Mr. Wontner, and the course of proceeding that was now adopted was only a subterfuge, to bring the affairs of the company before the public. He was only there on behalf of the company to meet a specific charge. Alderman Mechi said that in a case of this sort he was entitled to be informed of all the surrounding circum stances that bore upon the inquiry. Mr. Bpyer then proceeded to state that it appeared by the register that 6,430 shares had been taken, upon which a stun of 8,3911. 10s. had been paid. Mr. C. Hervey, the gentleman at whose instance the summons had been obtained, was then examined. He de posed that on the 24th of May he applied at the offices of the company, in Cheapside, to be permitted to inspect the register of shareholders. He first saw the manager and secretary of the company, Mr. Vernon Richards, and he referred him to a clerk who had the charge of the register, and he showed it to him and he inspected it. He wrote to the secretary asking for a copy of the register, and went on the 25th to the othce for the purpose of obtaining it, but he was told by Mr. Richards that the copy was not ready, and that it had not been made out. Witness expressed his surprise at the delay, and pressed him to let him have it, and Mr. Richards told the clerk to have it ready the next day. He went again to the office on the 29th, and was still told Out it was not ready. He remonstrated with the clerk, and said that itwas too bad, and that he should call again on the following day, and he was then told that it would not be ready until the evening, and that he could not have it until the manager had seen it. Witness went again to the office on the 30th, and he was then told that a clerk had gone with the document to his office, and he went there and waited until two o'clock, and, believing that the company did not intend to let him have a copy he applied at this court for a summons. The witness went on to state that he found a copy of the register at his office on Saturday last, after the summons had been served upon the company. Here he produced it. Alderman Mechi, having looked at the document, ob served that it was not a very long one, and it might easily have been written by a clerk in three or four hours. The complainant then stated that on Monday he went to the office of the company, and compared the supposed copy that had been sent hint with the register, and found that the number of shares and the amounts paid did not tally. and the document that had been furnished to him was certainly not a copy of the register. Instead of 6,340 shares having been issued, there were only 1,340, the word " cancelled" being written in red ink in the register at the office against 5,000 shares. He asked the clerk what was meant by this word being written, and he said he was merely told to write it, and he knew nothing more about the matter. In cross-examination, the witness said that in on sens the document that was sent to him might be said to give more information than was oontained in the register, be cause it contained names of shareholders, and accounts that were not in the register, but it certainly was not a copy of that document. He said that he did not take any special interest in the affairs of this company in particular, but he saw the names of several persons who were friends of his upon the register, and he felt it right, on that ac count, to obtain information as to the stability of the com pany. He certainly had no intention of becoming a share holder in the company, at all events while it was in its present . position. (A. laugh.) He said that in the first instance Mr. Richards seemed to think that he had no right to look at the re gister of shareholders. The witness, in further cross examination, denied that he had examined the register of any other banking corporation, and said that, in the first instance, he went to this bank upon business in reference to a bill of exchange which should have been accepted by one of the directors, and he took the opportunity while he was there of examining the register. The copy was never refused him, but he was put off from day to day. He was not aware that the manager had been unable to attend at the bank in consequence of illness, and, in point of fact, he saw him every day he went. (A laugh.) The summons against the company, he believed, was served on the Ist instant, and the copy he bad produced was at his office within twenty minutes afterwards. Mr. Smith urged that there had been no refusal to fur nish the document, and he said that there was clearly never any intention to do so, from the fact that the docu ment had actually been sent to the complainant. In con clusion, he said that if the alderman should consider the case made out, he should ask that he would deal mercifully in reference to the question of the amount of fine, on the ground that, although the company might have acted wit' negligence, they had, not wilfully infringed the law. Alderman Mechi said that he considered the question one of very considerable public importance. The legislature had provided that every publicity should be given to the proceedings connected with important institutions such as joint-stock banking companies, and in the present instance he was clearly of opinion that the defendants had violated the law, and had not complied with the terms of the act of parliament. He therefore felt it to be his duty to inflict a fine of 2!. for each day upon which there had been a re fusal to supply the copy of the register, amounting to 6/., and the costa, but he should express no opinion upon the other circumstances of the case, which would speak for themselves.
