LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) EQUITY COURT. (Before the Matter of the Rolls.) RE THE SHEFFIELD AIM RALLAIISHIRE A.NCIRIPT ORDER OF FORESTRILS' CO•OEZRATIVR SOCIETY. This was a petition to wind up the above society, on the groond of inability to pay its debts. The society was coervtituted under the Friendly Societies Act, but not regis tered under the Industrial Act, 1862. Mr. Roxburgh, in support of the petition, contended that the jurisdiction to wind up was under the Companies Act, 1862, and not under the Industrial Act, inasmuch as the 17th section of the latter act giving jurisdiction to the county court applied only to companies registered under the Industrial Act, which was not the case with this coin. The Muter of the Rolls was of opinion that the jurisdic tion of this court was taken away by the Industrial Act. His Honour, however, gave Mr. Roxburgh leave to mention it to the Lord Chancellor, which he rid he would do ou Tuesday next. THE WATERLOO LIR, EDUCATION, CASUALTT, AHD SELF RELIEF ASSURANCE COMPANY. Three petitions were presented for the winding-up of this company, which was incorporated and registered m 1851. No assets were in hand to meet the liabilities. One peti. tion was by s. creditor, another by the company, and the third by • contributory. It was objected that the company had not registered under the Companies Act, 1862, un d er w hi c h the peti tions were presented, and that therefore no order could be made on their petition. His Honour thought the company ought to be wound up, and that the only question was upon whose petition, and by what species of order. After some discussion an order to wind up the company was made on the petition of Mr. Abbott, the costs of the other oetitioners to be paid out of the estate. Mr. Wm. Cunardl was appointed provisional official liquidator; Mr Roxburgh was for creditors; and Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., Mr. Terrell, Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., Mr. C. Swanaton, Mr. Speed, Mr. 31. Everett, and Mr. Humphry for the other parties. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Nisi Prins in Middlesex.—(Before Mr. Jturtice Wiles and a Special Jury.) SE►tivt V. LORD KLINE AND oTHMIS.—THE DEPOSIT BANE. This case was pat tly heanl yesterday. It was an action against Lord Keane, the chairman, and two other d;rectors of the Bank of Deposit, and the plaintiff claimeddanuigee upon the ground that he had been induced by false representations to become the agent for the bank at Plymouth, and had sus- Woad considerable injury in consequence. Yesterday, the plaintiff's counsel bad difficulty in proving that Mr. Hadwyn, the superintendent of agenta, had authority from the defen dants to baud a prospectus to the plaintiff, and to represent that the statements in it were true, and the case was post poned to give time to look at the books and papers. Mr. Collier, Mr. Ribtoo, and Mr. Daly appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Bourn., Mr. Webby and Mr. Archibald for Lord Keane ; and Mr. Digby Seymour and Mr. Warton for the other defendants. Mr. Wallis, a clerk in the bank, was recalled, and he stated that Mr. Hadwyn was dead, and Mr. Peter Morrison had gone abroad. A number of extracts were read from the book, of the bank to show that the defendants had attended numerous meetings of the beard and of the finance committee, and that at those meet logs various books were examined, facts", however, which Mr. Bovill said he was prepared to admit. Some of these books contained entries of the receipt of monies from various agencies. A number of letters between the plaintiff and Mr. P. Morrison were also referred to. There were other letters from Mr. Hsdwyn to the plaintiff, one of which approved of his proposal in reference to fitting up the branch bat directing that " Everything must be good in quality and respects b/e in appearance." (Laughter.) Another letter referring to the opposition of " %niers and other interested parties," said, " You can point to an es tablishmeut of 15 yews, which is an awkward feet for those who want to disparage us." "Send your remittance r in half notes, as it saves commission and only costs 2d., which is true economy." (Laughter.) The witness, inconclusion ' said that he was not aware of any resolution appointing Mr. Seaman. Mr. Robert Palmer Harding, the accountant, said that the report be had made, and which had been referred to, was correct. Mr. Justice Willem said that Mr. &mill had admitted its eonectoess. Witness continued—He did not recollect any resolution appointing any agent. Mr. Seaman recalled—When be became agent proapectoms were banded to him, and he had seen them before his appointment. The contents of the prospectuses were mate rial in inducing him to accept the agency, and he would not have accepted it unless he had seen the prospectuses and bad made full inquiry. Mr. Hadwyn showed him the prospectuses before his appointment. After his appoint meat he was introduced to Mr. Morrison, at the London office, and to Mr. Adair and Major Bere, two directors. They had some wine and bread and cheese, and the! conversation amounted to this, that they wished rumen to the agency. On other occasions the affairs of the agency were discussed. Witness was to have 150/. a year salsr7, and one per cent, on the amount of deposits, but a half-year of the salary had not been paid. The last half-year the salary was ICI!. a year. He received a copy of the resolu tion of the board on the let Sept., 1860, at which time certain proceedings had been taken against Mr. Morrison at the instance of Mr. Gerelli, and this resolution said that a special board having been called to take into consideration the unjustifiable attack on Id r. Morrison, the directors con sidered it their duty to record their unqualified contradic tion of such immitations, and their entire approval of Mr. Idortisoe's conduct, he having acted under the direction of the board and of the company's solicitor. The 1t.,. Mr. Bean and Dr. Clarke were present at this meeting of the board. Mr. Collier said that this was the whole of the evidence which he had upon the question of Mr. liadwyn's authority to biodthcdefendants. Mr. Justine Wiles thought that it would be advisable that any evidence to show that statements which were false to the knowledge of the defendants had been made should be given at once. After further consideration he added that in his opinion it was a great pity that the opinion of the full court had not been taken upon the law of the case before coming to trial AS far ea he had had an opportunity of considering the matter the action was an entirely novel one, and was not maintainable. The law was that a servant having made his inquiries must put up with the service into which he chose to enter, and could sot maintain an action because the em ployment did not suit him. Even if the as were proved, he must tel the jury that the law had not provided for such a matter, and they could give only nominal damages ; but at present it had not been proved that the defendants made any false representation to induce the plaintiff to enter their service. Mr. Collier said it would be useless under these circum stances to give further evidence, and after some discussion it was arranged that he should tender a bill of exceptions to his lordship's ruling, so as to have the question decided in a court of error. His lordship. as a matter of form, repeated his ruling to the jury, and directed them to find for the defendant. Verdict accordingly. Mr. Bovill said he also should assign error. Some discussion took place as to whether or not there should be a demurrer to the declaration. Mr. Bovill said that the reason why he had not demurred was that Lord Keane was not desirous to shut out an invee tig.ation into the facts. His lordship was entirely ignorant of what was imputed to him. Mr. I). Seymour made a similar statement on behalf of the other defendants, and added that neither of them owed anything to the company. Mr. Justice Willem remarked that, the matter having been wound up in Chancery, that court would see that all claims were properly dealt with. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) 81:11WERELL V. CLEMINTS. Mr. M. Smith, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks, for the plaintiff ; Mr. H. Jame and Lloyd for the defendant. The testator, William Clements, late • grocer at Bris tol, died on the 2lith of January, 1851, leaving behind him a small property and four surviving children. He had executed on the 9th of the April previous a will, which was now propounded by his daughter, Eliza beth Maude Mary Surnmerell, the plaintiff, and the executors named in the instrument. Probate was resisted by a eon named Isaac Abaolom, who stood in a somewhat lees advantageous position than he had done in a previous will. His plea was that his father was not of testamentary capacity at the time be executed the paper beige the wort. The case was not of the slighted general interest. It was still proceeding when we went to press. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) CLERKED WELL. THE DIVORCE AND KATEDIONIAL CAUSER ACT. Mrs. Matilda Barrington, • respectably-attired elderly female, applied to Mr. D'Eyncourt under the 21st section of the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act, for an order to protect her garoitip and her property, acquired since the desertion of her husband, from her husband and hie crexliturs. TKeapplicatit stated that she had been tinnied to her husband, Charles Barrington, upwards of 30 yaw. They resided together for some time, when ber husband, without giving any reason, deserted her, and cohabited with a loose woman, by whom he had had two children. After be bad been away for some time be returned, and in July, 1842, they lived together at Exeter for about ohm mooths, when he sold all the furniture, and she was left destitute and ' without a home. She then went into service, but though , be knew where the was he did not write to her, or call upon her, although be was in the same town. She heard from bar sou that he bad seen his father in town, and that be wished to return, and as she had supported herself and family without receiving a f►rthiingg from o her husband, she ' Wanted the order to protect bar furniture and her earnings THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, 1862. from him. She was afraid that if he face Ott —her home that he would again sell it off. Mr. D'Eyncourt inquired if the applicant left her hus band's house of her own accord, or did be desert her? The applicant said she went because there was no furni ture in the house. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did he tell you to go ? The applicant replied in the negative. He did not tell her to go to service, but she went because ate wished to support herself and her family. Mr. D'Eyncourt said it was important that it should be known that when a wife left her husband of her own ac cord, or when they separated by mutual consent, the ma gistrate could not grant en order for the protection of the wife's property. This case appeared to be a hard one, and he was sorry that he could not grant the order; but he should advise the applicant to apply to the Divorce Court. The applicant left the court in tears. WORBHiP•STREBT. STABBING. Georg Bishop, a tall ; gauit fellow, was charged with feloniously wounding Alice Hill. The prisoner bad been cohabiting with the woman, and, as generally is the case in such Mailman' the present, she refused to appear against him. Summonses were therefore ordered for the attendance of herself sod a witness. She now appeared in court, with an hospital bandage round her head, and a medical certificate was produced, showing that she bad received an incised wound there. This was her evidence—l have lived with the prisoner three years. Last night he came home drunk—l mean a little tipsy. I exasperated him about something and he struck me ; he got me down on the floor and hit me, but not with a knife —oh ' dear no. They said at the hospital it was a wound with a knife. That was wrong. I think it was done with • tool —no, the milk pot. My head did bleed certainly —it is cut about a little. He is a sober and industrious man and very kind to me. I don't wish to hurt him. He has beaten me before, I think. Mr. Safford, the clerk, had the greatest difficulty in ex tracting this testimony from the woman, who manifestly had suffered severely from the injury. Mary Ann Jackson—l lodge in the same house as Mrs. Bishop(last witness). Late last night I heard screams of "Mur der" from her room. I went there. She was on the door, but I didn't know her at the time for she was smothered with blood. The prisoner was kneeling upon her, and on seeing roe said, " I'll serve you the same if you come near me. I didn't see anything in his hand. I didn't see him strike her. The police came and she staggered to a doctor, who immediately seat her to the hospital. The further evidence went to show that the prisoner escaped horn the house where this outrage was committed, and which is in Bacon-street, Spitalfields, but that he was met in the street by a constable shortly afterwards, who apprehended him upon information given that he bad stabbed a woman. Not any knife was found. A remand was ordered. GREENWICH. LEAVINO-800P KEEPERS AND THE POOR.-800 PER CM. INTEREST. Robert Wooldridge, of Kin-burn-street, Rotherbithe, ap peared to an information at the instance of the Commis sioners of Inland Revenue, charging him with carrying on the business of a pawnbroker without being duly hcensed, whereby he had incurred a penalty of 501. It appeared that in consequence of letters which bad been received by the government authorities that the defendant was =vying on the business of what is termed a " leaving shop," an officer named Cook was sent, on the 17th October last, to the shop, with articles to pledge. On entering the chop be saw defendant's wife, and handed to her a bundle, containing a frock, • bedgown, two petticoats, and a pair of socks, and asked her if she would take in the parcel. She replied in the affirmative, and defendant asked for an advance of Is., which was handed to him, the defendant's wife ingniring his name and writing it on a ticket, which ticket was pinned on to the bundle. Cook then left, and six days afterwards he returned to the shop, when the bundle was restored to him on payment of the shilling advanced, and twopence in terest. The defendant pleaded that his wife conducted the bug nem of a general dealer, and that goods were bought when brought to the shop, but re-sold to the persons to whom they originally belonged if not disposed of previous to their applying for the same. Mr. Maude said the defence set up, independently of the evidence given for the prosecution, rendered the defendant liable to a conviction, the words of the act of parliament being, " Every person shall be considered • pawnbroker who purchases any goods with an agreement or under standing that such goods may be afterwards re-pur chased back again." There could be no doubt what ever the defendant carried on the business of a " leaving shop," where an exorbitant rate of interest was charged, in the present instance nearly 800 per cent., twopence being charged fora loan of • shilliog for six days, where a regu larly licensed pawnbroker could only have charged one half penny interest for • similar loan for a month. His worship then imposed the mitigated penalty of 121. 10s. and costa, and in default of payment • distress warrant to issue. LIFE AND DEATH IN SHOREDITCH. SPECIAL VERDICT. ---- • An inquiry was beld by Mr. H. Raffles Waltbew, at the Black Horse Tavern, Kingsland- road, late last night, respecting the death of Martha Hoirsh, aged 74. The deceased was the widow of a fumer at 32, Willow street, Shoreditch, in a room with another woman. Her sole means of living were Is. fet per week, and a loaf of bread from the Union. lier son had sometime since allowed her Is. per fortnight, but he discontinued that allowance, and she fell into great penury. On Wednesday morning she died suddenly. Mr. Waller, the coroner's officer requested Mr. Fildew, the relievi n g officer of St. Leonard's, to remove the body, so that the other woman, Mra. Sarah Files, might not have to sleep with the corpse. Mr. Fildew merely replied, "Let the woman put I out her fire" (it had been laid that typhus fever might be the remit if the body was left where a bre was). Mrs. Files had 000sequently to live with the corpse, and the room being smelt, she had to lean over the corpse to do her coking and poke the fire. At night she slept on the boor beside the corpse, which occupied the only bed. The jury indignantly asked Mr. Fildew how be would have liked himself to sleep with a corpse, and be replied that was quite a different thing. He had not transgressed the law. It was not part of his instructions to remove the body. Even had it been removed to the dead house, it might ham calmed (typhus fever Ito have broken out. (Ltlghter') DrTheoOard raid that there was no fear of contagion, as the dead-hoagie was 0120 of the bed-constructed in London. The coroner said the relieving officer s conduct was dis graceful ; and that though he might have been acti ng ac cording to the strict letter of the law, he bad been guilty of groat inhumanity. The jury returned a verdict, "That the deceased died from extravaaation of blood on the brain, and that the jury consider the conduct of Mr. Fildew most unfeeling and request the corooar to bring the facts and this verdict to the notice of the board of guardiana" Lord Feversham has (says the Yorkshire Gazette) presented his celebrated bull, Skyrocket, to the Leeds Lancashire Committee. The bull will at once be sold, and the proceeds added to the fund for the relief of th e dis tressed. PORTSMOETII.—We regret to learn that Admiral Sir Henry Bruce, K.C.8., Naval Commander-in• Chief at Portsmouth, in consexplence of his extreme ill state of health, has written to the Admiralty requesting to be superseded, feeling himself quite incompe tent to the performance of his duty.

THEATRICAL MIRRILOL—On Monday last, by license, at St. George, Bloomsbury, Mr. George Howarth Weston, the youthful comedian of the Lyceum Theatre, to Mies Louise Laidlaw, the fascinating and promising young actress.—Nro. A CLERGYMAN IN A New CHARACTER.—Last Monday, a prisoner was taken to the county gaol at Glouces ter ; as soon as he was inside the outer door the policeman took off his handcuffs, and the lodge-keeper not having bad time to lock the door, the fellow bounded through the opening with the agility of • deer. Of Connie there was immediate pursuit, but two policemen who were present were so startled that they were unable to get up speed, and the few bystanders contented themselves with calling "Stop thief,' and admiring the agility of the runaway, who speedily can through Barbican lane to the docks, and mule for the river. At this moment the Rev. Aspinall Dudley, the gaol chaplain, came up, and hearing the cry of " Stop thief," joined in the race. It happens that the rev. gentleman is a good example of a "muscular Christian," as well as of the other Christian virtues, and thus, though the runaway was fleet, he was speedily coursed down by the chaplain (who also happens to be chaplain of the Engineer Volunteer Corps). who seized him behind intim most approved garottiug fashion, rendered him powerless, and turning him round, marched him back towards the preion and banded hi m over to the police. Some bystanders declared they never saw • Eimer flat race.— Bristol Mercury. HIGHWAY HORBERY.—On Saturday evening last s about five o'clock, as Mr. Timm, traveller for Mr. Newton, of Coxhoe, near Durham, was returning home from his journey amongst the colliery villages, where he had col lected a considerable sum of money, he was attacked by • man on the road between Kelloe and Coxhoe. The ruffian sprang from the hedge side—which caused Mr. Timm'a home to swerve—and, hurling a large stone, it struck the gentleman on the shoulder and rolled him from his seat. In an instant he was upon Mr. Timm and, thrusting his band into his hair, proceed e d to beat his head upon the ground, and made an attempt to rifle his pocket' ; but before he eould complete that operation Mr. Timm put his hand into his breast pocket and drew out his revolver, which he discharged. This caused his assailant to quit his hold, and no doubt finding that he was likely to get the worst of the encounter, be made a precipitate retreat over the hedge. Mr. Timm fired another shot after him, and retraced his steps to Kelloe , where he gave information to the police.—Sunderland SOUTHAMPTON ELECTION. OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF THE POLL (THIS DAY.)

IMPERIAL FASHIONS AT COMPIZONE.—The coup criell which the hemicycle of the theatre at Compiegne pre sents when occupied by the imperial family and their guests is brilliant in the extreme. The Emprere when at Compiegne makes it • rule to dress as expensively as she can, and of 1 course all the ladies do their beet to follow the example which she thus sets them. She is also very fond of cur t-cording herself with handsome women, arid the livelier they are the better. It is now the fashion at the palace to cast aside flowers as much as possible and to substitute pre cious stones in their stead. The latter are so profusely displayed as to remind one of the treasures which the genie of the lamp brought to Aladdin when he was going to be married to the Sultan's daughter.. Dresses are looped up and spangled with them. They are interwoven with the hair ; and necklaces, earring., brooches, and bracelets are worn so large that their effect is almost too dazzling. All kinds of eccentric ornaments in precious stones are also worn at Compiegne, such as huge butterflies and locusts ; and one Austrian princess, rather under the influence of caprice than good taste, made her appearance in the theatre wearing on the side of her head a little sentinel in sapphire, ruby, diamonds, and enamelled gold. On another occasion the Empress had quite • col lection of tropical humming-birds about her person. But they were, however. arranged with good effect. She I had a dress of some very flimsy pink material, which looked I so light that one would be in no way surprised to see it ; Hosting in the air like a pipe-blown bubble. The skirt would have been perhaps as long ea the train of a court , dress, were it not what is technically called "looped up" with bunches of roses, so fresh, so fair, and so like those which grow in a well cultivated garden, that the t/ humming-birds which fluttered on them seemed a m it l at tracted there by their beauty. Fireflies also gleamed out from beneath the green leaven, and on the side of • wreath I of roses and rosebuds a very long-tailed bird of paradise bad the Privilege of being perched the whole evening.—Letter , frt.

The following important circular has been issued by the Ottoman Bank to its share holders. It is almost needless to remark that a oombination of this high character and strength will be fall of benefit to the finances of Turkey, and tend to raise the credit of the empire throughout Europe. It is understood that the new establish ment will be constituted on a basis somewhat similar to that of the Bank of England : Sir,—Referring to the various reports that have lately been in circulation as to the establishment of a National Bank of Turkey, I am instructed by the directors of this bank to apprise you of the steps they haws taken in the i matter. Believing that the time has arrived when a National Bank of Turkey can be formed with benefit to the Ottoman Empire, and profit to the shareholders, the directors - sought, and have succeeded in concluding au arrangement ' with a French combinstion of the highest influence, at the head of which stand the CrAlit Mobiher, end the eminent banking fii.ne of Hottioquer and Co., Mallet Prins, Fould and Co., Fillet, Will, and Co., de. This combinatien has received the approval of the (:rand Vizier, and the general basis on which it is prop° sod to frame the bank has also met with his concurrence, and the details of the measure are now under discussion. So soon as these details are finally settled, a meeting of the shareholders will be called, and the course proposed by the directors for the Ottoman Bank taking part in the new institution viillbs submitted to them.-1 am, &c., W. Lagnrs, Assistant-Seeretary. Messrs. Janvrin, Grassi., and De Lisle, incr. chanta, principally trading with the Channel Islands and Brazil, stopped payment yesterday, owing to one of the partners, Mr. F. W. Janvriu, having privately largely nued the funds and credit of the firm for his own purposes. Mr. Janvrin is stated to have left London. The liabilities are estimated at about 100,000/., but the amount of the tweets cannot be accurately determined at present. The house stopped in 1855, then trading under the title of De lisle, Janvrin, and Co. It has been in good • repute iutterly, having emerged from its previous with some egrer, of credit. Mr. Janvrin is a director of the Ocean Marine Insurance Com pany. The books have been placed in the hands of Messrs. Coleman Tueraand, Youngs, and Co.
