a raw the result. it was our ditty to am:Midis whether , t- t state of India was nos in consequence of this obedience. I had a sacred trust tepencel in them to have those facts fairly . uneavelled and the truth made known. if when those facts came scs be fully known it should appear that he had unfortunately h m ! Omer, against toed Amherst unfourded by facts , he aks he th e fi rst iron to - make imette.i to tlint.Nobieman. It was that feeling that he repressed many things which it was in power to stet. The Hon. Member then concluded by moring idit the production of the papers he bad mentioned. ler floc a trona it said, before the question was put he wished be make one observation. It had been stated by the Ilor. diem bete—but by the indifferevee with which that statement was received be feared ro credit was given to the fact—that the soppression 4 public opinion in India was in extreme connexion with this before the Cerro. Gentlemen would remember that during the siner. onship thorn was a mutiny in Cancan, which broke out into a ret ew!). and which required four years to put dow.i ; and `‘e wooled say, that in consequence of the suepresnion of the puts the very (Reim did not know on the preceding night that any complaints existed among the men. From the moment that the Olarqull of Hastings moneyed the censorship them was one con. &toed stone of tranquillity reigning the me,hout 'nein. Now, to stow that discontent prevailed among the troops at Harrackpore, he would state, that more than three weeks before the en otiny broke • 'MA the men had meetings and discussions among themselves. The scares this was not cetermunicoted to the Government, was the fear, Po the pert of those a ho could do it, of being considered implicated thearelvee r they were thus dimueinagetl from giving information. .1103 if the press were free these ildiriclusla would have had no ob joetioo to make an anonymous communication to the editor of a paper, and thnn the cireumetance would have been brooght to the • Paws - IN:4T of the Government and the public. Had the rumours v.hich were circulated reverting the discontent of the troops been commm)it , •ted through the public press, the nmtioy wou:d not hare taken place. All persons acquainted with Calcutta must ltsow that there was a considerable :rade carried on between it and litatgoon. Those merchants were better informed of the climate sad of the winds which prevailed than the officers of the troops would possibly be. Hal the press been free he had no doubt a her._ seed letters would have been written -to editors, impugning the wisdom of the Governor ; best had any one ventured to do so at present, he was himself a living instance of what would have been the consequence. Rut the feet was, that the information was mown in Calcutta. Two European regiments were known to be =ing to Rangoon. wading through water almost in an amphi. ate, and Helve upon salt provisions. These two battalions *turned soon after, the one reduced to sixty and the other to eighty Mao. Under these circumstances he hoped it would be considered whether it might not he proper that even the censorship should be attooted instead of the pres Ont pernicious system. • 31r. TRAWT though it necessary t 3 make an observation or two with regard to the statement of what had occurred at Canute. It happened to him tg know shit what the Honourable Member had looted was rot thcKe et. For he was himself ordered to go there a few months hefote in consequence of the Government not being sa tisfied with the conduct of the Revenue Department. NVith regard 'to persons being discouraged from making information to Govern ment, he begged to say he did not conceive that to be the ease. With respect to the mot•on before the Corn, he did not conceive the pmdetetion of the papers tee all necessary. He thought it bet ter to leave the matter in the hands of the Court of Directors. There was, however, one point. which he was sorry to be obliged to wgree with the Hon. Member for Aberdeen ; he meant as to the entire loss of confidence en the part of the people of I •dia towards the Governor General. He was or.e of those who on the appoint inert of Lord Amherst experienced considerable astonishment. He had never ureic/stood Lord Amherst to he a man of great talent, and the duties of a Governor-General required one oho rouessed the talents of the great man who had just then left that country. He did not mean to PRY that Lord Amherst could have Fomented the war; hut he would declare, that in his opinion that - bleman was quite inromoetent to conduct it, and he should never be wined until he saw some other person conduct our affairs in Leila. An impression had been made in that country which nothing less than such a measure could remove, and he feared our friends might now be induced to take those liberties which they would not otherwise have done. He therefore trusted the Court of Directors would lose no time in relieving us from a Nate of things which had already operated most pr.:judicially both - In this country and in India. • Rir C. FORTIES expressed his concurrence in the sentimeots of Ills Hon. Priced 1,31 r. Hume), anil was; surprised that his motion 44 toe go to the recal of Lord Amherst forthwith. It appeared to Inlet thst Lord Amherst was an amiable man ; but it was not an autiable Ilser. but an able man, that we wanted as Governor. itrieneral in India. Because he had refused to turn his back to the imperbr of China, or to kiss his Eminence's toe, was it to be in -' I lemml that he was therefore capable of conducting the affairs of an offlPtiaive Empire He trusted that the read of that Nobleman VOW be proposed, if not in thie'House, at least at another place, at no distant period. He had received letters containing remarks on hiGovernor.General's conduct, all convincing to his mind that each a thermic was necessary. The CRAI MAW said. he should not at present notice the ob servations of the Hon. Baronet, but briefly state his reasons for not agreeing wig' the motion. On the 30th of March, 1824. the Court come to a Resolution, that this Despatch should not be laid before the Proprietors. He was sure the Court would not consider it ex pedient to do that now which they did not think proper to be done then ; because if the agitation of this question was then in convenient it would be much more sont the present moment. The Hon. M ember for Aberdeen had attributed the whole of those ev ents_ unfortunate events he world call them(hear ! from Mr. Hume) to the suppreesion of the press (No, no ! from Mr. Hume and Mr. Bucking ham ). It was too much to say at this timeofday,that this was the cause eon the misfortune, of India, or that a tree press would be the panacea for all the evils existing there. It was also necessary to observe, that the Honourable Gentleman had given notice of a mo coo in the House of Commons for the production of this identical pacer to-morrow : he would then have an opportunity to speak fully on the subject, and it therefore really was unnecessary for ti%is Court to produce it. It hod been stated by an Honourable Member (Mr. Buckingham), that two regiments had returned from Rangoon considerably reduced by the disastrous climate. All that he could say was, that the Court of Directors had received no in tekigence of such a circumstance; and that, in the absence of such, be had no reason to believe the Hon. Member's statement. The fast letters received by the Court were up to the end of October, and what had nut been officially eninmunicated he thought he was bound to deny. Information had been received through private 'bonnets (hear, hear); and although circumstances had occurred -which were to he regretted, he still hoped the results of the mea sures now pursuing would be as satisfactory as he had reason to ex pen they would. Mr. EDMONSTOM observed, that during the most brilliant and successful periods of India, even under the Marquis of flutings' administration, the censorship of the press existed. If any in fluence were to be attributed to the press, he thought it had rather a tendency to insubordination than otherwise. It had been ),ale observed, that the Court of Directors was in possession of iefermation much better than any other persons could obtain, and sa rah more correct than could possibly be communicated through erns • medium of a Newspaper; he therefore thought the question should be left with them, and that the papers ought rot to be produced. Mr W....mantic h opposed the motion, and said, that the wise of this country was under considerable restrictions, and he therefore thought it was highly proper the press of India should be. Mr. ume.—Yee, but se want the press of India to be on the same footing with that of England. It is not so now. Mr. W.IIIIIIIOUOII admitted. there was this difference, that here we were obliged to undergo a trial (Hear, bear, from Mr. !fume) before we could be punished. Mr. II et ME then replied. M. M xxxs thou,:ht fond Amherst had not been well treated by lion. Members, and that they ought to have suspended the exploit siert of their opinions until better information war before them. If this Court really sought for talent to conduct their affairs, he con mitred the language which had been recently used towards the Noble Persons who served them was calculated to prevent that Wait hum coming forward. • 'Mr. Gatitrx protested against the doctrine of the Hon. Director (Mr. Mills). It was impossible that the Proprietors could wait vont, the Governor-General came from India to London before they declared their sentitnents regarding his conduct. He should how ens oppose the motion, at he should wait the result of the applica egem to be made to the House of Commons to-morrow. "'After a few words from Mr. Hu/Ix and Mr. S. Dflow, the minion was put anti negatived. Mr. HUME then moved for the prot!oction of a copy of the com. nninimuiner from India respecting the mutiny, and of the proceed. Ing,s_ of the Governor-General thereon. Mr. Tr ANT seconded the motion. Sir CHAU LES Fnanistead a letter which be had received from Ore Ir.dy of an officer in the army at Rangoon, in which she stated that the spirit of discontent was supposed to hare spread itself widely tiircogh the native troops, and that the ridiculous system of pennotory so much in vogue now-a.dsts would not do in India. (Muth laughter. t The tiepins were high eagle men, and would not consent to carry their cooking utensils on their backs like la. bunters." The lion. Bart. observed, that he lived, from certain expressions i.e had heard fall from a gentleman connected with Government, that some measure was in agitation for the real of Lord Amherst, but he believed they were a little palsied who to titled for his successor. Captain Maxon'. Ln opposed the mama. lir. Hume replied. Ile motion was then put and negatived. • General THORVTON gave notice of a motion on the next Quarterly o.2teral Meeting, respecting the suppression of commit. et:cations by the Officers of Government Lt India made to them, to be rotronuniotted to the Governor-General in Council. Hr. Hrf six gave notice that he should niske the Court Special for the purpor- of teking into consideration the conduct of Lord Amherst, as Governor-0' entail of India. TILE OHDR PAPERS. Sir C.

This case came on for argument to-dag, according to appoint me.it made on Friday last. Mr. SHADWELL stated to the Court, that since the last hearing the defendant bad entered a demurrer. Mr. 4111.Eacit said, that tin this moment he had not heard of it, bawler received no notice. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed that they should go on with the motion. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, the question to which he should apply himself was, whether this Company did not fall with in the statute of nth Geo. I. ? The Loan CHANCELLOR observed, that was one point only ; but that it would not determine the entire question. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, he thooght that if that point was settled it would eventually dispose of the whole question. The plailitiff asserts that the giving away the shares by the Direc tors was a fraud committed by them. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked, what was the total number of shareholders ? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, they could not ascertain the number of shareholders, but the number of shares might be. 111 r. SH AD W ELL s.id, there were 500 shares, of which two were reserved for Captain Vetch. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he apprehended the Court would not interpose without they produce the deed itself, which would show who were the original parties to it, which the copy of it did not. The tio c in von-GENERAL would now state the substance of the treed to the Court. It was, that the shares should consist of 500, of 41;01. each, and there was, besides, a prosnsino in another part the deed for raising the further sum of 50,000/. if that should become necessary. The Company, previous to the execu tion of the deed, were tinder the direction of a Committee of Ma. ingentent. On this part of the deed the question arose, whether this Company did or did not act as a corporation ? The directerni were to Ro ont upon a rota. In this respect there certainly existed the resemblance pointed out by his . Lordship between this Company and a large trading corporation--tbe East India Company. Look ing to it t.s a Corporation. the prorniorts of this deed were mate. nil. The deed contained clauses to which lie should particularly call his Lordship's attention, anelin so doing he should confine himself to the effect of the deed, so far as it was supposed to be against the statute of G lieu. 1. Ile did not think It material that he should go at length into the question if the Company be a Corpo ration. Time question was, what was the quality of shares that were to be considered as transfe rable? These shares were not transferable except under certain restrictions, which were of such a nature that they'did not at all come under the Statute of the lith Cleo. I. 'Un doubtedly there might events happen by which shares would pass into the hands of the legal representatives of the subscribers. Another class would be by voluntary transfer (under certain re strictions) of the shareholder himself. It was only one of those two cases in which a transfer could he made. Ills Lordship would find that no person could sell his shares, except the vendee' was approved of by the Company. Ilc did not think it would be necessary to trouble his Lordship with reading the whole of the deed ; but that was the result. The second class consisted of those cases in which the transfer would arise from legal accident or destitution, as in the case of the marriage of a female proprietor, in the case of shares passing by will, and again in the case of bankruptcy. These were the principle cases in which a share could be transfered by legal accident or devolution. The Loll) CHANCELLOR-110W many Wit, are there in this Company ? The Socroteol•DEsttitat —I don't know how many there are, but I have heard of a lady who was a large proprietor. What was to be done in such a case? Would it not be hard for a lady not to be able to transfer her property with her person ? The vendee was under an obligation to bind himself in the same man ner as the original shareholder. The proprietors therefore could not be assimilated to the owners of South Sea Stock er a public fundhohler, in which Mies there was no signing of deeds or enter. ing into covenants, which was in this Company absolutely requi site. They must speak to the common understanding of mankind as well as that of lawyers. A lawyer himself could not say that these were transferable shares, when the transferee could be re jected by the Company upon mere personal grounds, such as being engaged in another concern inimical to the interests of the Corn. pany. In short, the owner of the shares had not over it the jes postendi which was necessary to render it a disposable share. His LORDSHIP asked it there was any limit to the duration of the restriction ? . . . . . . forted. This, therefore, Lord Ellenborough continued, was not a ' transfer witiott the meaning of the Stab 6th Geo. I. ; and why because rack roe!, propriemr n:ust take a given proportion of bread from the Company, and that took off from the shares the character of general transferability. The LoND CH AA c LLL ost observed, that in that case they were dealitrat, in the necessaries of life. The z-ohIeITOR-OE X I:Rol. sail, he had not lost sight of that. If the law as laid down by Lord Ellenborough then was the law now, it sitntrlr applied to this case. ‘Vltat he took to be estab lished be Lord Cllenborough coax, that where the shares have a limit to their transftwahtlitv, the (on:pany war legal. Now, there the restriction which narrowed the lf:Vieferability was, the oblige. tiro oti the mbseribers to take a ceruin portion of meal and bread. That was ore species of restriction—let them look at what the ea-me:ion was here. The transfer was not effected by mere in. dorsement, like a promissory note cc bill of exchange, nor simply by the intervention of a broker, as in the cue of the public funds. Lord Ellenborough, in the ease just alluded to, had said, the shares ' were virtually restricted to persons in the neighbourhood ; but here he (the Solicitor-Oeneral) would not confine himself to vir tually, but he would contend that these were positive restrictions. A vendee might be refused admittance by the Company for no other reason than their dislike of the cut of his coat, his complexion, or the contour of his countenance. This was matter of actual con vention and stipulation ; for thus far it might be carried when the Company say, " We must know who this person is ; is he a per son of respectability, or has he been a hankrupt i" Lord Ellen. borough's genteel principle was, that if the shares were not trans ferable according to the general course of business, that restric tion took away the illegal character as contemplated by the Statute' of the 6th George I. lie (the Solicitor-Oeneral) would contend, that the restrictions which that mist deed Imposed were ten times stronger than in the case of the Birmingham Company. On the point of their being a body corporate, having a common name, and making by-laws, Lord Eileuborough observed , how many Assur ance Companies ( which were unquestionably useful) there were, which, though unincorporated, did make by-laws. The Loali CHANCELLOR observed, that that Company was prejudicial to the millers ant! bakers, and °dye trades. The Couctxon-Oximaax-1t might be iajurioue to A, B. and C, but not to the common smith at large. Undoubtedly if a Corn- Racy did business better than a private individual, they would en gem the trade, and ihjore that individual; and, vice crests, it an in dividual did business better than &Company or his competitors—as in the rose of his Leaped Friend Mr. Shadwell, who engrossed a great number of briefs, and might be said to be a nuisance to his less fortunate or less skilful brethren—be had no doubt his Learned Friend would go along . with him in his argument, and acknowledge that it must be a nutsaace to the cianimurrify at large, and not to individuals. The LORD CUANCELtoa Paid, that if Societies like this were established in every town in Engiacd, it would ruin the trades of miller and baker. The Soy icixoit-GENEnas.—So in the case of threshing-ma clines, which abridged labour, the same remark would apply ; and if his Lordship put this as an extreme case, he should still contend, that if the trade of the private Mdiridual was abolished, or carried on by these Comp .nies, the individual trader would have no legal ground - of complaint against them. Lord Ellenborough then went over the arguments relative to raising a large capital by small subseriptim.s. Ile did not think the mere raising of the capital by small subscriptions was a sub sandy, of but that they must look to the nature and objzitts of the institution, and see whether it was a nuisance. The Act ex cluded from its operation the Royal Excite...Asc. the London As surance, the East India Company, the Bank of England. and also all foreig n trades which were then carrieft un by prtnerships ; and he (the Solicitor-General) should have iniap,ined that persons em barking a large capitsl to be employed in 51esico, would be one of the excluded cases ; but as tbst related to the merits of the Can. WI, he would, not now dilate upon it. Lord Eilenborough fur ther observed, that the Act did not apply indiscriminately to all subscriptions; anti with reference to the tranferability of shares, It might be sufficient to nay, that in die qualified way in which the shares were raised, the object was not to raise the stock fur the pur. pose of transfer, nor to make such stock the object of Commercial speculation. Now he (the Solicitor-Gene,al) contended, that if such had been the object of this Company, every lice of their deed tended to contravene it _ HOME CIRCUIT. SURREY ASSIZES, KINGSTON, Itl•acx 22. THE IRWO V. norYLY. ( Special Jury.) This case occupied the attention of the Court from nine o'clock in the morning until half.past twelve at night. The defendant had for many years been appointed to the situation of High Constable of the East Half Hundred of Brixton, and after wards filled the respectable offices of Rector's Warden of St. Mary's Newington, and Surveyor of the highways of that parish. The duties of the latter situation he had been called to perform for a period of six years, teminaring in 1824, and upon rendering up his accounts at the termination of each year, he had regularly received the thanks of the Vestry. Having relinquished the office of Surveyor of the Roads, some scrutiny took place into his ac counts, and it was out of an investigation by a Committee ap ointed by the parish, that the present indictment was founded. The charges made against Mr. Roftey in substance were, that he had exhibited false accounts, in omitting to charge himself wit!. various sums which he had received • that his accounts were false in not returning a true account of the deficiencies ; that lie had been guilty of a violation of his duties by keeping his books in a negli gent manner, in omitting the name of defaulters ; that he tad been guilty of negligence in not properly collecting the rate, by shian it was alleged the parish had last large sums of money ; and lastly, that he had been guilty of a watefitl expenditure of the parish money, in giving a higher price for materials to repair the roads than they might otherwise have been purchased at. hlr. ADOLPHUS led the case fur the prosecution, satiated by Masa. CHITTY and THESSIOEtt. AMERICA AND WEST INDIA TRADE ACTS.

' ''''''''''''''''''''' my Lord: it is intended to be a Company in which these restrictions are to exist in per. prime. The Loan CII•NCELLOR—Then a Company is intended to be formed which is to last for ever, and exclude everybody except those approved of by the Company? The SOLICITOR-01EXERAL said, he should now call his Lord ship's attention to the Act of the 6th Geo. I. Instead of the Com pany consisting of a herd of persons, gregariously assembled for the mere purpose of buying and selling shares, which it was the ob. ject of the Statute of the 6th Geo. I. to prevent; here, on the con. teary there was not the least resemblance to the Mississippi scheme of dr. Law, and similar schemes of other persons who were de servedly attainted in Parliament. There was here a studied endea vour to make it in every respect dissimilar. Then was a covenant of a very singular description in this deed, to which he would call his Lordship's attention. This covenant obliged all persons who came in by assignment or transfer to save the Company from all his separate or private debts, and such persons should not be • party to any business by which the funds of the Company should be diminished we injured. The effect of this covenant was to oblige any person being a proprietor to suffer any execution or seizure of his shares by • Sheriff; and if he should that his breach of cove nant rendered him liable for whatever consequences may have been provided. Suppose the case of an attachment by the Sheriff of the city of London; it would be on the part of the proprietor a breach of covenant, and the Company would have a right :n law to call upon the proprietor to answer for that breach of covenant. He merely mentioned these circumstances to show the transferability of these shares. The deed in this point was so peculiar, that 5 man could call iu the aid of the law to pay his debts by means of these shares. Ile would put it to his Lordship whether the circumstance of a female proprietor not being able to transfer her property to her husband without being approved of by the Company, did not of itself take away the appearance of transferability, as the terns was in general used ? The Loses Cri•DICELLOR said (as we understood), that if the Learned Counsel would recollect. he would remember that that co venant was in almost all similar deeds. . The SOLICITOR-GENERAL understood by this covenant, that all the proprietan were individually liable to be called upon in case of its breach to indemnify Alr. Taylor, the manager of this con. tern. He should now take the liberty of calling his Lordship's •t -tendon to the Act of Bth Geo. I. There were only two clauses of that Act, the 18th and 10th, that he thought it would be necessary to examine. They were to be found pnated in the case of the King v. Webb, in 14th East, where the proposition was laid down, " that it was not every Institution having transferable shares which acted like a Corporation that came within the meaning of the Sta tute of Geo. 1." It was necesaary, continued the Learned Counsel, that the Society should constitute a nuisance to be within the' mean ing of the Act of Geo. I. This, his Lordship would be pleased to remember, was the law laid down by Lord Ellenboroughin the case he had alluded to, which was decided in the year 1811. If this was not to be taken as law, they would be obliged to aim:, to the Statute of (ith George I. a different interpretation to what that Learned Lord had done. It seemed to him (the Solicitor- General) that if the law was as he had stated the case which be had mentioned, it furnished no difficulty whatever. Lord Mans. field had laid down the law on this subject to be, that the question was a question of feet. It must therefore be • Company which, under the pretence of public good, instituted dangerous and ntis. chievous projects. It was not the opening of books that could make it illegal, for there were many Companies whohadopened books, yet which nobody at this time of day would deny having done great benefit. It was the pernicious tendency of a society which made it illegal. He had thought proper to make out a regular list of this cases which had occurred since the passing of the Act in 1719. and which lie would now notice in their chronological order. Thine were ncne of them which had raised the question of construction, except ort2 : he alluded to the case of the King v. Coles, in Lord Raymond, 1361, and also he believed in Strange. In this case it was decided to be a question of fact. It was here a mere questien of legal or illegal as a fact. The existence of a fact one way or the other was the point which made him say that this Society was not illegal. He did not mean to omit any fact io the case which would affect either side. He would therefore just mention the ease of the King v. Dodd, in 1808, in II Vesey. But it appeared to him that the facts of that case did not approach near enough to those of the present to furnish any ground for argument. In 1808 there was a case tried before Lord Mansfield, reported in Campbell, called Buck v. Buck. In this case, a proprietor of the British Ale Brewery Company had to speak plain English, been cheated by his broker, against whom he brought cur action. There it was held, , that Companies of this description were illegal in the trans ler of shares, and the Lotd Chief Justice ordered the plaintiff to be tionsuited. In this Case there was mailing to *hew what the constitution of the British Ale Brewery was. Admitting that their shares were transferable, the Court ought to see whether all the clogs or Ippedements to the transfer v. hich existed here existed in that case also; for if they did not, of course the reasoning was not applicable in the present case. He would say, that here the shares were not transferable. Ile would not moot the question of whether it was useful or not ; but whether the shares weratransfer able. He would now allude to the ease decided in 1809 by Lord lillonborough, which Was an indictment of a secretary of a society similar to these, which was decidedly for him. The next case was that o f the Bing. w. Webb, tried in 1311, in 14th Vesey, 418, which he had already alluded to. This was an indictment against an Institution established wear Warwick, in which the subscribers were not to receive money, bet bread and meal, which were the articles In which the Company dealt. In that case Lard Ellen. borough gave a very full and elaborate view of the law upon this subject. Ile divided the question into four parts, but it would he unnecessary for him to deal with more than two, viz.—That the shares were transferable, and also that the subscribers had per mission to act as a body corporate. To those two points he would now c e ll his Lordship's a tt ent i o n. Upon these points Lord Ellen• borough observed, that the shares is the stock were not generally transferable ; but were restricted to persons living in the neigh bourhood; benese the subscribers were bound to take bread from the Compton, which of course gave it a character of o locality ; and for any thing that appeared in the deedbe consent of dm other proptietors was necessary before the *bares cold be trans. The LORD CHANCELLOR wished to know at what period the I dissolution of the partnership was to take place? it it was a part. nership, anybody could dissolve it ; if it was more than a partner ship, the question was; what was it more, and how ass it to be dis solved ? They seemed to him to have foreseen the diflizulty of go. lug on unless they had • charter. The Socrerrox-GENrawit. would not occupy the time of the Court by mooting the question's to whether it were proper to per chase territory abroad for the purpose of carrying on trade there: but he should like to see any man stand up and say this was one of the bubble grievances within the meaning of the Statute of 6th (leo. I. He bad already alluded to the case of the King v. IVebb ; if the decision in that case were law then, ofortiori it was law now; but he should show thct it had been followed up by subsequent deci sions. In 1812 there was the case of Pratt r. P.utchinson, reported in Vesey, page 515. The case was that of the Greenwich Union Building Society, a society which cheapened the prices of building materish, to the injury of architects and builders. There three. fourths of the subscribers were to consent before any transfer could be effected, and that restriction was held to take it out of the statute The Learned Counsel then referred to a case decided in the Com mon Pleas, and reported in the 4;11 of Taunton, page 567 ; and also the case of Davis v. llawkin, in the 3d of .Mantle and Selwyn. which confirmed the former decisions. In the 2d volume of Jacob and Walker, the case of Allister v. Bignold was reported. This was the eof the Norwich Insurance Society, which caire before his LotAip by a bill filled . against an Individual member of the society, who had acted against the interests of the Company. His Lordship there decided he would not interfere because the by-laws provided for such a ease. However incidentally this point came under his Lordship's notice, and his Lordship then said that if the shares were not transferable to persons not members, the Society was not illegal ; but if the shares were transferable to any persons it would be illegal. There was • case not yet reported, and of which he had not a full note, which had recently occurred in the Court of King's Bench. The case (Joseph v. Pedder) was de cided on the 4th February, 1325. Here the Judges decided that • transfer with a qualification annexed, was not that species of trans fer to which the Act alluded. By all the eases he had quoted, the law as laid down by Lord Ellenborough, in 1811, had been mis timed, and was acted upon at the present time. There was no question of law, if theshares were not transferable, and he con tended that those shares were not transferable, because they were surrumided with such restriitions as takes away the jar dispouendi. On the authority of the King v. Webb, and that of the Birming ham Company, which cases exactly resemble the present, he con tended that that which was held to be law in the Courts of common law was to be considered as law in • Court of Equity. He had not at all looked to the merits of the case, as that belonged wan entirely differerent part of the argument. Mr. HEALD was about to address the Court. when Hu Lo'ollBll' intimated that he was obliged to attend in an other place, and must therefore defer the further nearing of the er rs nent till another opportunity. the Earl of Lauderdale sat at the side of the Lord Chancellor du lag the whole of the argument, to which he appeared to pay pa licular attention. WITTE/IMO r. cosmic Some account of this trial, which took place at Guildhall, and wh ch, atter the case had been opened by the plaintiffs Coepisel, was referred to Mr. Parke, haring appeared in this and most of the other public prints, we are authorised to state, that the arbitrator has lately made his award, directing the verdict which had been en.

Patna or Aecesray.—An anecdote is related of Mr. Prager, of Werndee, iu Monmouthshire, which exhibits the pride of ancestry in a striking point of view. The house, which had lately been repaired for the tenant, was in such a state of dilapidation, that the father of the last proprietor, Mr. Proger, was in danger of perishing under the ruins of the anciett mansion, which he venerated even in decay. A stranger, whom he accidentally met at the foot of the Skyrrid, made various inquiries respecting the country, the prospects, and the neighbouring houses, and among others asked, " Whale is this antique mansion before us?" " That, Sir, is Werndee, a very an cient house ; for era of it came the Earls of Pembroke of the first line, and the Earls of Pembroke of the second line, the Lords Herbert of Clierbury, the Herberts of Coldbrook, Rumney, Cardiff, and York; the Morgans of Acton, the Earl of Hunsdon; the Junes's of Treoweis and Lanarth, and all the poweVs. Oat of this house also, by the female line, came the Duke of Beaufort." " And pray, Sir, who lives thi.re now ?" " I do, Sir." " Then pardon me, and accept a piece of advice: Come out of it yourself, or you'll soon be buried in the ruins of it !" _ In the British Press of Monday, we stated that a gentle man was found dead on the road, near Maidstone, having been thrown from his g:g. The gentleman was James Ottaway, Esq. cure of the Coroners for the county of Kent. He was found on Satunley night, about twelve o'clock, quite lifeless, in the turnpike road, in the palish of Ala-den, between Stilebriclge and Stapieburst, with his chaise and horse, as we stated, standing by the body. Mr. Ottaway had been to Rochester on professional business, on Satur day. and passed through Stilebridge Turnpike-gate between ten and eleven at night, on his tettan home. From the appearance of the gig, one of the shafts of whi di was broken, it is supposed the the horse must bars swerved from the road, and the carriage coming in contact with some impedimt nt, the unfortunate gentle man was thrown out by the shock. A violent contusion was found on the back part of the head, and the surgeon who first examined the body gave it as his opinion that a violent concussion of the brain took place, and that death was instantanenes. Monday an Inquest was held on view of the body, by J. N. Pudlow, Co roner, and a respectable Jury of the Parishioners of Marden ; when, after the examination of the Surgeon, and the person who first discovered the deceased, a verdict was taken of " A eeiJetoal Death," and a dendand of Ss. levied on the carriage. Mr. Ot toway was a man of most amiable disposition and gentlemanlike habits, In support of the charges of malversation, which extended over the years 1821 and 1822, the Learned Counsel principally relied apou some short castings in tie sums received, the totals of some pages being less in amount than the items of which they were made up. Many witnesses were called to speak as to the manner of keep ing the aceounts ; a vast windier of papers and figures were referred to, and some testimonies were adduced as to the price at which materials for thereat, might hare been bought. 'The Court adjonrned about half-past six o'clock, a hen the case for the prosecution closed, for the purpose of allowing the Jurors an opportunity to take some refreshment, and at seven o'clock the case proceeded.] Mr. M 4 TIT, with whom was Mr. Sergeant Tanis and Mr. Beontaici, addressed the Jury on the part of the de fendant, whom he contended had been hardly dealt with by those who bad succeeded to the management of the affairs of the parish. Ile contended that they lied denied the defendant a fair opportunity of explaining the accounts, though lie had made various propositions for that purpose. So far from the accounts showing any case against Mr. Roffey, if they were looked at with any thing like candour, they would be found perfectly correct. ft was true, indeed, that there were some undercast logs, but he would prove bow they had taken place—the books at a particular period were regularly made up, and it had so happened that the sums assessed upon the different householders were not at those times always paid; there were arrears; and though Mr. Roffey had the duty imposed upon him to see to the collection, he was not bound to be the collector ; he appointed for his collector a Mr. Tijone, who, after he had made the books up, had, when he received come of the arrears, inserted them in those pages to which they severally belonged, without making any alteration of the totals, but carrying them to a subsequent account, the amount of which had always been carried to the credit of the parish. iVith regard to money paid on account of the rate, but which wan duly credited, he should prove that there was no foundation for the charge. No pan of any such money had been traced to the defendant's hand, with the exception of somewhere about 7s. in 0 e instance, and I/. in another, when Mr. Roffey I was attending with the collectors at the office of the Magistrate, who had issued not only scores hitt hundreds of summonses against defaulters ; and it might have perhaps happened that those sums might have been raid to the defendant, au' by him have been handed to the collector; but even if it were true, that he had, from some cause which charity might easily aupinse to have arisen from hurry or some other innocent cause, omitted to carry to account such a trifling sum, surely it was too ninth, in such a parish, where die assessments fur the repairs of the road amount to between 2.000/. or 3.0001. to make that the subject of an indict.. ment. AVith respect to the charge for having purchased gravel and flint at too high a rate, lie should ;reduce most respectable per. sons who were conversant with the subject, who would prove that the defendant had made his purchases at the very lowest prices. The Learned Counsel proceeded to call his witnesses, who proved the keeping the accounts as stated by Mr. 3larryatt, and who de posed that the arrears of the preceding yeur were regularly ac counted for when the accounts were parsed in the succeeding year. That part of the ease which related to the purchase of gravel and I flint, several witnesses said the prices given by Mr. Roffey were not only fair but low prices. Witnesses to character were then called, who all spoke in the highest terms of the integrity and honour %%filch they always con aldcred had marked the defendant's conduct. Some of these witnesses were gentlemen of the highest teepee tability, including Mr. Lett, a Magistrate and Chairman of the Trustees fur the Surrey-reads ; I). King, Esq. also in the Com mission ; the Rev. A. C. Onalow, the Rector of Newington, Ore. The Lou:it:MET BACON summed up the evidence as briefly as possible consistent with the just ice of the case.

IF Rs PREHINIMILE CONDITC 1' Or A CONSTAIL E.—On Tue.- day evening, at seven o'clock, in leguiyition way held at the Vestry Hall of St. John, llnvileydown, on the body of Jacob Ingram , a Swede, 37 years of age, one of the crew btlonging to th e I sa b e ll a, a Scotch trader. The Coroner, on calling ota the names of the Jurymen, found the writing so illegible that he inquired for the constable. Deadle—Sir, he is not in attendance. William Adamson, fisherman, deposed, that about half-past nine o'cloek on Monday morning, as he was out in his boat grab. Mae, about two hundred yards from Pickle-herring Stairs, he caught hold of a heavy substance, and on pulling it u p from the bottom of the river he discovered it to be the body of the deceased. He was in an undress, having on his shirt, drawers, and stocking.; the two fanner were loose, which he adjusted, and brought the body on shore. Witness did not know him, but had since ascertained that he belonged to the Isabella. He had not the appearance of having been long in the water. John Maclarin, master of the Isabella, stated that he came from Alloway in Scotland, and arrived here on the 17th instant. On tsunday last the mate and crew asked leave to go on shore; he gave them permission, and remained on board tie whole of the day. Between eight and nine o'clock witness went to bed, and the men soon afterwards returned. He was told by his boy the men were all on board. Witness did not see them. In the morning follow ing the deceased was missing, but the clothes he had on the day previous were found on his chest lying underneath his hammock, which appeared as if it had been lain in. The deceased belonged to the vessel about eight years; he was a very peaceable quiet man. The crest were on sociable terms, and all appeared to be sober that night. iVitness conceives the call of nature induced him to go on deck, and that he bad unfortunately fallen over the bows. Coroner—Are any witnesses present who saw the deceased on board on that particular night ? Wirness—None of my men are In at were summoned. of them Coroner—Really this is a most unpardonable neg li gence on t h e part of the constable. Who is the constable ? Beadle—Mr. Barnes, • - • - Coroner—This is not the first time I have had occasion to eons. plain of this negligence of constables--of this parish in parti eater. In this instance, the constable whose duty it is to attend does not chuse to do so, and he has omitted to bring forward some of the most important witnesses. Some of those gentlemen whose services are required on this occasion have also absta'ned from ap. peering. Out of the list there are only twelve present, who might very justly and honestly dissent in opinioa, whaaby we might be detained here all night. Several of the Jurymen observed to the Coroner, that many of them had only received their summonses an hour previous to their assembling. Coroner—That in some measure accounts for the non-attendance of the gentlemen summoned, and heightens the misconduct of the constable; but I attend from a distance at some expense and incoc. venience to myself, and why *tumid rot those who reside in the immediate neighbourhood ? The Coro.iee here desired the beadle to inform the constable, that if such reprehensible negligence oc. curred again, he should bring his conduct into investigation bcfore the proper authorities at the Sessions. The Coroner now recapitulated the evidence, and left it to the Jury to say by their verdict whether the unfortunate deceased heti not met his death accidentally. Mr. Black, one of the Jurymen, observed, he could not conscien. Bondy agree to such a verdict ; the: e was no direct proof before them that the deceased had been on board at all on that particular night; the party might have been :nebriated, and had quarelled, or some foul play practised ; it was very easy in a case of murder to place the clothes of the deceased p-rson in such situation in °relic to avoid suspicion ; he, however, did n o t mean to i nsinuate such a dreadful crime had been perpetrated in this inttance. The only verdict he could agree to was that of—" Found drowned." The Coroner observed, if such a verdict was returned, there would always be sonic degree of suspicion attached to it. • Considerable discussion &rote in consequence, which was likely to prove a lasting one, and verify the observation of the worthy Coroner, until one of the Jurymen addres s ed t h e witness Maelarin— " Did you hear the roice of the deceased after the return of the men on Sunday night ?" Witness-1 certainly . did, and could swear to his roice—lieing a foreigner. I am positive he was on board that night, although I did not see him. Mr. Black said, if such had been asserted before, he should not have hesitated a ..... en( ; he, however, was glad his opposition had lead to obtain thi s further testimony ; it removed all doubt s i n his s T m he Juryind tamunanimously returned a verdict of " Accidentally drowned."
