EX PARTE HUMI AND ANOTHZR, IN RE DIARBII AND co. This petition related to a matter connected with the forgeries of Henry Fauntleroy. It came . before - the Courtupon an appeal from an order of the Vice;Chan 'Calor, Who had directed an issue to try the question in .a .CoUrt a Law. The real petitioners are supposed to be the Bank of England. . Mr. HORNE stated, that Messrs. Hume and Good . child, the Petitioners, Were joint trustees with Henry Fa . Ontleroy, under a deed of settlement executed by the .bite Colonel Belhs. Fauntleroy had transferred :he furalby forgery, but had carried to the trust account, in the books of the firm, sums corresponding in amount tci. the dividends on the stock. It was contended, that . t . fie'srock being sold out,,tl.e nit prove as creditors of the estate ; that the sums accounted for were not the identical dividends; and that in fact no • monies whatever were carried to account. The 6rm . • was, however, responsible.; the house of Marsh and Co. had permitted Fauntleroy to Vansact their business in the City ; he paid into the house df Martin and Co. to the credit of the hou,e in Berners.street, the mon,y he real's• dby his forgerie!. How could the firm say that, under these circumstances, the act of accounting for ;he dividends vs as that of one painter only? The books were satisfactory evidence d'the Petitic,ners case, who were entitled to prove to the. eatent of 1,1771. with the • other cie.h.,,rs. Mr. TURNER, On ti.e same side, maintained th it it would be iroductive of great mischief in money trans actions if the assignees were allowed to defeat the peti tioners' claims. Ile cited the case of "ex-parte Skmatt in re Hewitt," 2 Rose, 384, *Lich related to a debt of an employee in a banking-house, who, being a son of one ot the partners, had credit Oven hint in the books, o:c. , sionally, by his father, for sums of miney. fire Lot d Chancellor de,:ided ma; the credit was equivalent to moi.ey, and that the party might have drawn to the amount of it by check. Mr. W H rat A Wan, for the cestui que trust, remarked, that from the pass-books it appealed that the system of the bankers respecting the dividends accruing from the stnck had been the same before as after the fraudu lent transfer. Mr. MONTAGU, for the Assignees, contended, that the Vice Chancellor, whose knowledge of the nature of accounts, was of a superior kind, had come to a just conclusion. The books had been appealed to; they were in Court, and would spew that no money had been paid into the banking-house on account of the trust. 'the entries were falsely made by Fauntleroy, without the privity of his partners. These entries had beeri io dexterously contrived; that he (Mr. Dl ntagu) had . the authoti y of an eminent accountant (Mr. Wil kinson) fur saying, that if he had examined the books before the bankruptcy, he should not have discovered the deception. Air: Pm* followed shortly on the tame sidr. Mr. HORNS, in relAy, contended that it was impos sible to belo.ve that the partners were ignorant of the transactions in this Late. The deed of settlement was executed •in 1820, the trarsfer.of the stock took place in October of tidst ye.4i; and Colonel Bellis died in January, 1824. During the interval, was it pretended Oat the b.sulevfs never looked into their. accounts, al-. though Colonel Beilis - kePt money sA their.house; and fits •draftri - seese paid upon, tb credit of the stints re .etiVid.,at dividends? Mankind Were not safe, if bankers could ' , Tweet themselves, and cheat their eustotheri. by . pretending that such tiansact;ons could go on without ti,eir ki.owledge. The books were said to be false; b.it they were niotiments ; the Court and the Comn:issiontrs, to a certain extent, had nothing else to trust to; there might be money secreted in the pocktts of these bank rs. Although no positive evidi ace proved the payment of the money into the- house, the acts of the partners would have enabled the petitioners to recover, if no bankruptcy had takeq place. .if no money had really been paid, all the partners had been gtelty of a Baud. There must have been money to carry on tie concern ; if the other partners knew they brought none, and allowed Fauntleroy to manage the business exclusively, they were responsible. The LORD CHANCILLLOR.—M7 practice is to decide, in these cases, without sending the question to a Court of Law ; but there are some cases in Which it is the duty of this Court to send the question.to a Jury : this, I think, is -ooe of them. I have no doubt as to the way in which I should charge a Jury in this case, if 1 were to judge. Where there has been such negligence on the part of bankers, or one of them, as to makesthe con fidence of their customers a source of injury, I cannot go to the length of saying that they may allege they knew nothing of the transactions. I will not, however, decide this. The present is a question of great import ance to the commercial world, both in respect to the state of the books, and with regard to the propriety of admitting the evidence of the partners. It ought to be settled in a more authoritative way than by me, or by any single judge. 1 most therefore con fi rm the decision of the Vice-Chancellor. The issue should be so ordered that the trial may be in London, and 'before a Jury of merchants; and the books and papers be delivered to the Master;and be produced upon the trial. I think it would be wrong for me to give any opinion, lest I should prejudice the ca n e. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, AUGUST ie. His Hosouu was occupied this day in disposing of a part-heard bankrupt petition, which involved no question of interest. It is understood, though it has not been publicly announced, that the Court will not sit again until after the long vacation- The LORD LIEUTZNANT of IRELAND has appointed Alderman Swims (late Lord Mayor), to the Commissionership of Paving, vacant by the death of Alderman lkoznam. It is understood, that a merchant of the first respecta bility has concluded a contract with the King of SPAIN, for working some mines in the neighbourhood of Madrid, and that he is now receiving subscriptions for shares in an Association which is about to be formed for that purpo.e. Monday, a Gentleman of great resrectability was fully committed to Horsham gaol, for trial at the next Assizes, charged with having, on the night of the 22d of July, violently assaulted and committed a rape on Mary May, his servant. Ile was taken into custody at Brighton, on Sunday last. A letter from New York, and dated the 18th of July, says—" The weather is now so hot, that it kills people very fast. Thirty-three died last week from drinking cold water, and many fell dead in the streets, beirg stricken down by the heat. On the 11th, I saw: a young man drop down from the side of his mother as they Were walking in Broad Way. It was at ten o'clock at night, abd the thermometer then stood at - 94 degree!." J• • . • rivcazsa TAMS iinisTot tifANNEts SHIP' CANAL Yeiterday, pursuant to public advertisement, it Meeting of the subscribers to this stupendous undertaking was holden at the London Tavern,. Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of electing the Directors, and to transact other business connected with the measure. ' On the motion of &AIM Bosstoturr, Esq. secanded by Mr. WATTS, DAVID POLLOCE, Esq. was called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meeting, said he greatly regretted that so important a duty had not devolved upon some more competent per. son. He also regretted that peculiar circumstances Would not suffer the Committee to postpone this meeting until more of the subscribers were in town, as in every thing that related to a concern of so great magnitude as this, one that involved so immense a capital, and that possessed so strong a hold on - public attention, it was must 4esirable that every measure ihould, if possible, o'tain the s4nction of every shareholder before it was decided on; however, the Act of Parliament made it imperative that a Board of Directors shuulci be named within a limited time after the p'assing of the Bill, and as the term prescribed was nearly elapsed, the Corn- Mittee were obliged to convene A general meeting of the subsctibers, even under the disadvantageous cu. cumstances to which he had alluded. It was not ne- cessary, he imagined, to go into any detailed statement either of the plan or principle of the undertaking, be cause these had already been sufficiently explained by the prospectus and other documents, which the Corn- . . mittee, from time to time, had thought expedient to lay before the public, and which, so far as he could learn, had given abundant satisfaction to all who had impar tially perused them. It was certain that a determined, a persevering, and indeed a most singular opposition, bad been set up by some individuals against the mea sure, but it did not succeed in preventing the passing of the Bill, and that great point having been accom plished, it rested with the subscribers themselves to carry into full effect the object contemplated. The first thing required by the Act of Parliament was, that a capital of 1,750,0001. should be subs:ribed, and then, and n•:t until then, the Directors would have authority to proceed with what he might term the operative part of their powers; and it now bee ame the privilege of the Subscribers to nominate and appoint ti err Board of Di rectors. With respect to the plan itself, he was aware that objections had been set up by some Gentlemen on the sen.e of its being likely to injote their e totes, by the Canal passing through them. No doubt it was but right that the feetini.;s of those Gentlemen should be consulted on a matter which so immediately concerned individual interest, and the• promoters of the meaoire, being aware of that fact, took every means in their power to give th;... fullest acd most correct information on the subject t ► the public, that could possibly be afforded under slat circumstances. The most eminent Engineers were employed, elaborate surveys were .made, and plans were deposited with the Clerks of the Peace of the different Counties through which the &anal was proposed to be cut, and those plans had been open to the inspection ót any Gentleman who thought proper to make the appplic:tion. It was impossible, however, to alter the line in any respect without giving fresh notices. Two Gentlemen, in particular, had started objections to the precise line of Canal, as affect ing their estates . ; one was tllr.Collins,-ai large landed proprietor, and the other Mr. Portman also a proprie tor of ah extorosiie cantle of grouticriutinth which it was proposed tie-tut the Canal ; however, after the affair was inveitigate4 the fOimer Gentleman Withdrevi all active opposition ; Mr. Portman approved of the plan generally,' though he disapproved of the exact line through his property. On these representations, the Committee consulted with their Engineers, and it not being impracticable to avoid those grounds, a clause was introduced into the Bill, in favour of Mr. Collins and Mr. Portman; but in order more completely to provide hgainst Contingencies in the execution of the .work, a supplementary Bill was resolved on, by which all such objections would be done away. *The object of the Committee, in short, was to' conciliate all parties, to confirm such as entertained doubts on, the subject, and above all to have the Canal cut in a direction wholly unobjectionable. Having said thus much, he should now merely read a list of names that had been put into his hands, as eligible for the important office of Directors, .The CHAIRMAN . then . proceeded to - read over the names of fifteen Gentlemen, and lstr. S. BOLIIIKWIT rose to put them in nomination, when Mr. Bacons said it was vet 3 , desirable to ascertai n if those Gen tlemen had consented termer the office. The CHAIRMAN replied, he had reason to know that they were by no means disinclined to act. The two first on the list were well qualified for Directors, hav ing considerable property on the line, and a great in fluence in the country generally—these were Alexander Baring, Esq. M.P. for Taunton, and John Bent, Esq. M.P. for Totness. Mr. P. JEFFREYS wished to know if Mr. Pemberton had been asked to accept the offiee ? Ne Gentleman was more competent for a Director of such a concern, as, independently of his general information, be pos sessed a greater local knowledge of the-country perhaps rthan any other person, and was besides a great coal owner, both at Newcastle and in Wales. The CHAIRMAN said, he believed Mr. Pemberton was not inclined to take an active part in the concern, as he was going to reside chiefly out of London. Another Gentleman observed, that if Mr. Rothschild would take a place at the Board, be was sure the concern would be benefited. The CHAIRMAN deemed that impracticable, owing to Mr. Rothschild's numerous engagements, and ho norarymeinbers could be of little service. Mr. Bosamauar conceived that they could not pro perly elect any Gentleman, without some specific as surance from the person nominating that such Gentle maa was disposed to act ; in fact it was a kind of im pertinent interference with his time to elect him to an office that would perhaps be very laborious, without previously obtaining his consent. On the name of the Rev. Dr. Palmer being put, Mr. JEFFHEYS objected to the Rev. Gentleman being elected ; and the ground of such objection, he said, was not any personal disesteem he entertained for Dr. Pal mer, but was founded on the law of the land: he did not think it right that clergymen should interfere in se color matters, and he was strengthened in that Opinion by daily experience. I'o convince the Meeting that he did not advance this objection without sufficient and in disputable authority, he beggiol leas?! to read the fol lowing extract from Burn'sEcclesiasticalLato, v.3,p.194 : " Whereas, it is - unbecoming for Clergymen em ployed in heavenly offices to minister in.secular affairs; .we think it sordid and base that certainclerks, greedily pursuing earthly gains' and temporal jurisdiction, do receive secular jurisdiction from laymen, so as to be named Justices and to become Ministers .of Justice; which they cannot administer • without itijr.ty to the • Canonical dispentatrOns ina to the clerical order; we, ' desiring to extirpate this horrid vice, do strictly enjoin all Rectots of Churches, and Perpetual Vicars, and all Others whatsoever, constituted in the Order of priesthood, that they receive no secular jurisdiction from a secular person, or presume to exercise the same.; and if theyl do, they shall relinquish the smile within the space of two months, and never resume it; and wh•3never shall attempt anything contrary to the premises, shall be ipso facto suspended from his office and benefice; and if he shall intrude into his office or benefice during such suspension, he shall not escape canonical vengeance, which shall not be relaxed until he shill have made satisfaction at the discretion of his diocesan, and taken an oath that he will not do the like again, saving the privileges of our Lord the King in this b,hall." (A bunt of laughter followed the reading of this extract.) Mr. htrriantsaid Gentlemen might laugh, but still they could not alter the law of the land. Mr. BOSANGUST declared, that he never heard any thing so preposterous in his life. In many parts of the country it was absolutely necessary thit clergymen should be in the Commission of the Peace. The inte- rest, the happiness, the social comfort, the - wrll-tieing of society demanded that they should on some occasions be empowered to wield the rod of justice ; and if such an enactment as that now read was suffsred to remain on the statute books, it must be confessed indeed, that it needed revision most sadly. Mr. Jarretts contended, that such was the law however. and so long as that law was unrepeakd, every such appointment of a person in holy orders to any secular office was illegal. ' Mr. Priv observed, that this was not a Court to try such a queii tion. The Ecclesiastical Court was the only competent tribunal. The,Cnarasiati regretted much to hear such xn ob jection railed. If the law alluded to was still in force, he was much surprised that it should be eternally vir)- lated, and that it was so every one was well aware. I was framed at a period When things, no doubt, were differently managed; and when the meeti , g remembered that his late blajesty in defiance of this antiquated enactment of one of his ancestors, had thought proper to invest Dr. Palmer with the Commission of the Peace, he (the Chairman,) did not think the subscribers to the Ship Canal would be very culpable in following so illustri ous a precedent, by electing him as a Director. Mr. Jarnutvs said he could cite several authorities in support of his assertion—the case of the Rev. Dr. Jolltffe for one. Here several Gentlemen spoke to order; and amidst loud cries of 41 question," the remainder of Mr. Jef freys' observations were lost. The CHAIRMAN, on announcing the name of the Rev. Mr. Knapp,, observed, that the same objection might be started, and if attended to, the proprietors would, as in the case of the Rev. Dr. Palmer, be de prived of the most extensive and useful information. The Rev. Mr. KNAPP said, that in accepting the office, he trusted he was actuated by better motives than those which the extract from the Ecclesiastical Law of Burn adverted to in terms of just reprobation. From the long residence of his father in that part of the country through which thetanal was proposed to pass, he certainly might be entitled to further the object; and although religious objects claimed the paramount attention of a clergyman, yet he did not think that the clerical order would be dishonoured by promoting the arts, sciences, manufactures, and commerce of the country, as far as compatible with clerical duty. But, in ti 4 present instance, there was a still stronger claim impressed on his mind.—that of humanity. From what he knew of the coast, he was convinced that this Canal .would be the meant est -saving hiirnen life to 'is great extent, and on this principle, if on no other, it should always have his warmest support—(Hear, hear). The nomination then went on uninterruptedly until the last of the fifteen Gentlemen had been called over, which was that of a Mr. Macmorris. which was ob jetted to by Mr. Patterson, as being almost wholly unknown to the majority of the Subscribers. • Mr. Jeerer?. proposed Mr. Pemberton instead, and a ballot was demanded. The glasses were being prepared, when Mr. Frampton produced a note from Sir Thomas Lethbridge, expressing his readiness to act if elected a Director. The CHAIRMAN said there could not possibly be any person more competent than Sir Thomas Lethbridge, but in fact he was not eligible, inasmuch as he had not signed the Deed of Contract to the extent of ten shares, and the reason of that it might be necessary to explain. When the Bill came before Parliament, some allusion had been wade as to the impropriety of Mem bers taking part in the discussion of a question wherein they were personally interested, and fromathat circum stance Sir Thomas Lethbridge, with a very honourable feeling, no doubt, was induced to strike his name off the subscription list—at all events until the Canal Bill had gone through the House of Commons, and he was not at present a Shareholder. Mr. MACMORRIS then came forward, and said, as he had embarked many thousand pounds in the concern, he had certainly a right to be anxious about it. But so con fident was he in the ability of Sir T. Lethbridge to pro m-te the measure, that he would, if now elected, most joyfully resign in Sir Thomas's favour,whenever that Gentleman should think proper fo qualify for the office of Direc•or. Thispledge was accepted by Mr. Jeffrey, and Mr. Macmorris was duty elected. The CHAIRMAN said, that et present the Directors would consider it a merely gratuitous service ; and that until the whole of tbe money was subscribed, he should never consent to a can be ing made upon the Subscribers. (Hear, hear.) Several Resolutions Were then passed, and the Meetingdissolved. It is said that the Austrian troops now evacuating Naples, will not be withdrawn from Italy, but are to be cannoned in Lombardy. The example set by the city of Liege, has just been followed by thatof Malines, where subscriptions for the Greeki have been opened in all the public societies, and it all the booksellers. Letters from Zante, mention a report of an engage. ment at sea; in a hich the Greeks haclthe advantage. By letters from Gibraltar to the 28th tar. we learn that the Colombian cruisers remained in the Straits, to 'the great annoyance of the Spanish trade. Two of these privateers had attacked the Spanish ship of war Le Levrier, but after an action of fifty minutes, had sheered off in the direction of Cape Spartel, the Spanish ship declining to pursue, and returning to Cadiz.
