A Bus for the amendment of the Law of Part nership ows point in which great need for amend ment exis4 has just been brought into the House of Comrioni by Mr. MILNER GIBSON. Nearly a hundred years ago a learned Chief Justice laid down the principle that "every man who has a " share of the profits of a trade ought also to bear " • share of the loss." Nobody, of course, can see any possible reason for such a universal prin ciple. The 'matter is one evidently capable of assuming an I nfinite variety of shapes, and if two parties to a contract choose to agree that one shall have a share of the profits of the other, but without taking any share of looses, it is hard to see why the law should insist on making him, against the will of both, bear also a proportion of the debts. Such, nevertheless, was the rule which the law, following on the dictum we have cited, has maintained.for almost a century. The result was that no one in trade could get an advance from a friend, letting the interest depend on the amount of his profits, without making him as to all the world a partner. Even • servant could not be reimbursed by receiving a share, however minute, of the profits of his muter, without in curring the same liability for his mutern debts. But successive judges, sensible of the cruelty and absurdity of the rule, broke it down by distinctions not less absurd. They declared that there was a difference between groat profits and net profits, and that an agreement to share the former would not involve that liability for debts which resulted from a compact to divide the latter. They drew a line between a bargain for a share of profits, and a stipulation for an annual payment 'varying with the rate of profits. Besides this, they settled that • payment of a fixed sum, but contingent on the chance of profits being made, did not create partnership. And last of all, the House of Lords, reversing the decision of every other court, decided a few years ago, that credi tors of • firm, carrying on the business under deed of arrangement, by which it was stipulated that the profits were to be applied to the paying off of the debts, did not thereby constitute themselves partners of the firm, so as to be liable for new debts incurred daring the currency of the arrangement. Unfortunately, however, the House, while thus virtually overturning all the old principles, pro fessed to respect them, and left the old cases to stand side by side, in equal authority, with the new. The result was a state of the law in which no man could tell what was safe or in what danger consisted, and in which nothing was certain except that a faulty rule of law existed, which might be set at nought with impunity if anyone was lucky enough to hit upon the right way of doing it. The Board of Trade BM proposes to sweep away this evil by abolishing its original source. It declares that an advance of money to anyone engaged in business, on the condition of receiving • share of the profits, whether bearing also a part of the losses or not, shall not of itself con stitute the lender • partner in the business. If, however, the business is disastrous such • lender is not to be entitled to rank equally with the other creditors, and is not to receive payment till they have been satisfied. Remuneration may be granted to • clerk or servant, in the shape of • definite share of profits, without making him ne cessarily • partner. And an annuity out of profits to the widow or child of a deceased partner is not to be held as of itself constituting them continuing partners in the concern. These arrangements seem to provide sufficiently against possible abuse. They deal only with the inference to be drawn from an arrangement strictly private, and on the faith of which no one can have been seduced into giving additional credit to the ostensible manager of the business. They reserve full effect to any other circumstances which in any case may exist, and leave any one who is known to the public or dealt with by an individual as a partner, to bear the full responsibility incurred by so hold ing himself out. All that they will establish is that a share of profits will not, without something more, constitute the recipient • partner. No inconsiderable advantage will, however, re sult from this modest change in • legal rule. Besides the abatement of litigation on a confessedly knotty point, and the clearing away of a mass of incomprehensible and ensnaring decisions, there will be • great convenience afforded to many per sons in trade, and many who are dependent on them. Men in business, however prudent sa well as energetic they may be, if they desire to extend their operations by the assistance of borrowed capital, are placed under great hardships by the existing rale. , They have no realised security to offer; they mut, therefore, pay a very high rate of interest, tad it must be paid whether they are successful or not, for the lender would become a partner if he ventured to take a share of the profits for his remuneration. Now, it often happens that the personal frieuds of a rising young man would gladly trust him to this extent, and readily help him on these terms, if the law would only permit them to do it without involving their fortunes in unlimited liability for his debts. So, again, there !VIM t\s can be no doubt that the gkei t giiii 'meat clerks, or servants a share in meats is an meat generally beneficial to all partied, famishing to the subordinates an interest in mooed% and enabling the superior to buy that interest at a rate which he can most easily afford to pey. But it could only be bought with fear and trembling when it was uncertain whether the giftmight not prove • fatal one, and bring ruin in place of reward. The concluding provision respecting the allowing to the widow or child of a deceased partner an annuity out of the profits is also not only merciful but advantageous. It will frequently enable a busi mass to be carried on which otherwise must have been dissolved by the withdrawal of the deceased partner's capitaL The amendment of the law which is proposed is indeed only • corollary of the admission of the limited liability principle, and necessary to enable private enterprise to compete with joint-stock limited liability companies. It will enable mon to carry out their real intentions free from arbitrary and useless restraints which give no safety to the public. Every one who is known to the public as a partner will still be liable as a partner, but those who secretly furnish capital, or who only give their services, will not be in volved in the possibility of losing their all when the unexpected discovery that they had an interest in the concern is made. tazinars swamis.) , SPAIN. PROTEST AGAINST TEE NEW PRESS LAW. 31ADRID, Macs 16. A protest against the new press law has been published, signed by the editors of twenty-two Madrid journals. The Democracies and Pueblo publish a manifesto of the Democratic Committee demanding political, individual, commercial, indus trial, and religious liberty, based upon universal suffrage. The manifesto further demands equality of all men before the law, administrative decen tralisation, the abolition of the conscription, and the arming of the national guard. It rejects, how ever, all socialist ideas. ALGERIA. PARIS, KAM( 16. Official despatches received from Algeria state that Babois is now the only point where some agitation exists.

LEEDS, WIDUZIDLT NIGH?. Viscount Amberley to-night addressed a large number of the Mend dodoes of Leeds. Be explained his views upon the foreign wilily of *a country, sad upon some other topics of political linseed. Several questing' were put to him by various elosetore, in reply to which he laid he declined to promise to appose the ballot, on the ground that the advocates of the measure bad failed to prove their case. lie would vote for the abolition of church rates. Upon the subject of the franchise his lordship wee very closely questioned, but, to the surprise of almost all present, he &dined to pledge himself to vote for a 61. franchise. This caused a feeling of great disappointment, and instead of the resolution approving of his lord ship es a liberal candidate in conjunction with Mr. Baines at the next election which was ex pected to have been proposed, on the motion of Mr. Lupton, seconded by Mr. Marshall, a resolution was passed thanking Lord Amberley for the frank expression of his views, but at the same time recording the opinion of the meeting that no candidate would satisfy the liberal elec tors of Leeds whose opinions on the franchise did not at lean go as far as the support of the 61. borough franchise. Ills lordship will to-morrow evening address the re. mainder of the liberal electors, and it wai announced that he would avail himself of the opportunity of giving a fuller exposition of his views on the subject of reform. The Lcec Mercuny of to-day says :—" Last night Lord Amberley appeared to explain his political views before a half of the liberal electors of this borough. He treated of foreign subjects with much ability and deerneer, but his views upon the question of as extended franchise were not suilicieetly delisite to obtain the approval of that portion of the constituency which attended yesterday's meeting. A resolution was pseud thanking his lordship for the full and frank ex preasion of his opinions, but stating that no candidate would be aooeptable to the liberal electors of Leeds who did not go at least as far as a 81. borough frembiae. In justice to our liberal friends, no lem then to Lord Amberley himself, we feel it our duty to refrain from all com ments on his views about the garage, or the resolution which was adopted with referenoe to his candidature, espedelly as his lordship promised to express his opinions upon the extension of the franchise more fully and dearly at this evening's meeting. We tenet that all the members of the committee will then be present to listen candidly end attentively to the fuller exposition of his pr inciples. and, when the decision of that muting is taken, we shall be is a proper posit on—which wean not at present--to state our opinions as to the position and prospects of the liberal - . - . party in this borough." The following occurs in a report given by our cootempo my of yesterday's meeting : Mr. Fuwiz said—Most undoubtedly, from the admirable speech delivered by Lord Amberley in the Town-hall, they had some right to expect something more definite than they had heard to-night. (Hear, hear.) Lord Amberley could not ay that this was a sow question. It bad been before the country for years. The last election took place upon this very question. (Hear, bear.) Their own esteemed member, Mr. B .roes—(cheers)—bad brought it before the House of Commons twice, or thrice, and would shortly do so again, sod the question he would wish to pat to Lord Amberley, and press for an answer, if be could possibly give one was—Would his lordship, if he were in the present House of Commons, vote in favour of Mr. llama's Borough Franchise Bill 1 (Prolonged cheering.) The CHAIRMAN said be could quite understand the desire of the meeting to have a more definite answer, and he would therefore ask Lord Araberley to go a little more minutely into the subject. (Cheers.) Lord AMBXBLIT—I ►hink the gentleman is quite right to press the question upon me. (Applause.) The meeting is entirely right to wish for some definite answer, and I heartily wish myself that I were able to give it. Up to a very recent period I certainly should have said that I was in favour of Mr. Baines'a bill ; it is impossible, however, for anyone not living himself among the working classes, not being in familiar relations with thew, and not actually knowing personally the 61. householder*, to say whether they are persons who ought to be admitted to the suffrage. I am nut one of those who would say that every man ought to have the suffrage se a matter of right.. There are some I know who, though perhaps they would in many respects agree with me, hold that everybody has a right to the suf frage. Now lam very sorry that I cannot altogether agree in that opinion. A man's right to the suffrage, so far as he has any, appears to me entirely to depend upon his fit ness for it. I don't deviate or go back from my former speech. On the costrary, I have several times thought on what I then said, and I still think that the opinions I then expressed were perfectly right. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) The wish which I then gave utterance to was that every intelligent and honest man might be admitted to the suf. fr".ge. (Hear, hear.) I entirely adhere to that opinion, but at the same time it is not altogether in soy power to say whether the 61. householder', whether all of them at any rate, have those qualifications. Many of them no doubt have, and I should be exceedingly glad if all who are so qualified for the suffrage should be admitted to it. I have been told upon good authority that there are many living is Gl. houses who might if they choose live in 10/. houses. If that is really the case, if those who could perfectly well afford to live in 10/. houses still prefer to live in 61. houses, I cannot think that they are persons who are entitled to be admitted to the suffrage. (Cries of "Oh, oh.") That is the reason why I hesitate, much to my regret, to give a definite answer to the meeting. I shall be exceedingly sorry if this meeting should consider, as it has a perfect right to do, that this question is one of such importance that, unless I give a definite answer upon it, they will be unable to approve of me at all. (Hear, hear, and a voice—" That's a fact.") If in the minds of the liberal electors of Leeds this question is of that importance, I hope they will not for • moment allow the question to stand in abeyance ; it is quite right they should insist upon it ; butt hesitate to give &positive promise upon this point, bemuse I feel that at a future time I might see reason to change my opinion ; sod then I could not very well come to this constituency and he fettered by that pledge, still less could I go to the House of Commons under that pledge, and be driven to one of two courses, either of which would be dishonest. In the one Can I should have to vote in favour of a bill of which I could not entirely ap prove ; in the other case I shoold have to break • pledge given to this constituency. Either of these events would place me in a roost difficult position, sad that is, therefore, why I hesitate to give a positive promise, although I am inclined to regard Mr. Baines's bill with great favour, and It is very probable that I might vote for it, (Hear, hear.) The 61. suffrage is not pre cisely the kind of suffrage I should like myself. However, as you are aware, I am very much in favour of extending the franchise to the working classes, and of giving them a proper representation ; and if I find that the object cannot be accomplished in the way I myself should wish, I should in all probability vote foe Mr. Baines's bill. At the same time I don't find myself in • position to give • positive Pro mise on this matter. (Hear, hear.) THE PRINCE Or WALES WITH HIS HARRIERS. — A ROYAL HUNT NEAR BOUNSLOW-HaITEL —Yesterday morning his Royal Highness the Prince of Wala, attended be Lienteuant-0010001 Remold, left the Waterloo terminus of the London and South-Waters Railway, and travelled by the 10.50 Reeding train to Staines Junction, where the Prince and his suite arrived at 11.36 6.01. His royal high ness wan met at the station by Mafer - General the H oe . A..N.

A. Stevens. At the farm at Heath-row, Harmondswortb, his royal highness was met by a large field of sportsmen.

EQUITY COURT. (Baton Os Nader el Ow law TIM DUKI OV WILLIMOTON IP. LOUD MOT ZIT MONTAGU. Mr. kfobbouse, Q.O. (with whom was. Mr. 0. Ilikagan), asked that this metier might dead over in order to enable the plaintiff to answer affidavits filed by the Maeda& The Whirl= order meantime to be continued. Mr. Selwyn. Q.O. (Mr. Witham with him), said the defendant bad great roam tot oomplaia of the mama in which tide matter bad been placed before the court, and although the precentica wee taken to put the plaintiff on terms as to damages, yet that did not release him from the obligation of coming on an ex parse application with fa and lair statement of all the facts and circumstances of the case. This he had not dons, and the conduct of the defen dant had cenesquently been ex posed thwack misconstruction. It wee merely a sentimental ides that was the foundatioa of the plaintiff's claim. The injury that had been dome to the defendant was far more entstantisl than any injury the plaintiff could suffer, bemuse the letters as they apperod in the bill were intended to create the impression that in bet the defendant had originated the idea of publishing, and that be was doing something ungentlemanly and incon sistent with hie position, whereas I say, mid the learned counsel, when all the fads are Immo, it will be found that he had 'sated with the peat est liberality, and never had the slightest inten tion of doing that which was the foundation on which the injunction proceeded. There never was the slightest intention to publish the letters, sod no mare Proem custody can be conceived than the custody in which it was intended to place them—viz, that of the trustees of the British Itheenin. Ths Master of the Bolls said that on Thursday lest upon so ex ports application, supported by affidavits, making a petrol facie cam, hems& an order restraining the defendant from printing or publishing, kn. His Honour said that the order he bad jest reed restrained the defen dant from printing, he., mill to-morrow, to ewer the present seal the plaintiff having leave to give such notice of motion as he might be advised. sad un dertaking to be answerable for any damages which his Honour might think the defendant had sustained by reason of the interim order. The defeadent thereupon filed his affidavit in answer yesterday, and it hes therefore been im possible for the plaintiff to file his affidavits in reply. It was impassible, therefore, now to decide this owe on the merits, Meanie in order to do so it was regulate' that both parties should have ample opportunity. Mr. Hothouse asking for time and declining to proceed to-day, or rather the court asking the defendant to give an under taking in the form of the order made last weak, and the defendant declining to do so, nothing can compel him to give such undertekiog. Therefore, as is the practice of the court, the defendant has been heard in order to deteemins whether or not such interim order shall bs continua'. His Honour then proceeded—lf I relieved the defendant ram the interim order, and he gave no uslertakiema he might immediately do to-murrow that which I re strained him from doing upon an ex parte Wandler& The merits of the case I have not yet bawd, and have not now the means of deciding ups. Therefore, in order tbst the subject matter of the de ems may not be taken away from the minimum of the mild before it is ripe to be decided, it is in my opinion fit that this court should express no opinion whatever upon the merits until it has all the =Markle Ulan it, but that it should motions the interim order until it shall have had that opportunity, and accordingly I continue the interim order till the day after the next seal. It I. quite undentood, Mr. Hothouse, that if I continue the interim order you will continue your tin dertthing as to damages. Mr. Selwyn—There can be no damage now beyond the damage that has already been dons to the defendant. CSZNSWILL V. JACTSON. Mr. Barrage moved in this, the notorious Derbyshire will case, for leave to 'tarot the order made, on farther considern- Cons, by his Honour, on the Ist of June last, the time for enrolment having passed. His Honour gave leave. This would appear to conclude litigation in this ow, unless it should be recommenced by some person whose claims are 110 i concluded by what has taken place. THE POLICE COURTS.

The prisoner exhibited great anxiety to have this 'cho aion taken down accurately, though he himself observed that it was immaterial. Mr. Proves—Quite immateriaL The marks of his tweezers were on the key. The prisoner—That may have been don* by the sergeant@ in trying whether the key would opal the door. Mrs. Bunyard, the Ismdledy of the Norfolk Hotel, stated that the prisoner occupied the room No. 10. Mr. Prowas ' room was No. 13. Another gentleman, in No. 11, bin the pert room to the privateer's, war els: robbed. Servant Aekrill said the two notes had been stopped at the back.

He called the attention of other constables to what was going on, and the prisoners having been seen to try the pockets of other ladies, they were taken into custody. On this being done, they said they wen strangers to each other, became very indignant wheel they were told the charge, and said the °Moen would suffer dearly fog what they had done, for it w•• • shame that gentlemen could not go to church without being suspected of being thieves and pickpockets. The prisoners denied the charge in toto, and said that the officer mast be dreaming to think he saw them attempt to pick pockets. The magistrate asked Stephens why he refused his ad dress, and why the other man refused both his name and address. Both the prisoners replied that they wars respectable persons sod should not for the world like their friends to know that they were in this " trouble." The magistrate inquired of the police if anything was known of the prisoners The police said that Stephens had suffered penal servi tude foe felony, and that the other prisoner had been in custody for feloay. Even as late as last Saturday they had been sees in the company of mod notorious thieves.
