Locke, M.P., president, in the chair, The whole of the evening was occupied by the discussion upon Mr Amos's paper "'On the Govern ment Waterworks, Trafalgar-square." It was re marked that the rnain point sought to be established in the paper appeared to be that an abundant and reliable supply of water could be obtained from these wells, whilst it was admitted that very different re sults had taken place at various other establishments where attempts had been made to procure a large and permanent supply of water from the sand and chalk 'under London. Now ithad been contended for many years past either that a' large supply Mild not be pumped np from the 'chalk, or that if it-was mischief would be done in other qnarterk. It had been argued that, froth an aggregate of causes, a general depression of the 'water level under London had been produced. This opinion was confirmed, by the case Under' consideration, for it was stated in the paper that the water in the wells had origi nally stood at 48 feet below Thames high water mark, Whilst now it was 66 feet below that datum. It had been concluded that there was an infiltra tion from the river Thames, because it was found that the depression under London was extending more rapidly towards the north than at the centre of the greatest abstraction by pumping ; and it we was believed that the depressed level rose towards the tidal outfall. In a paper which was read at the institution in May, 1855, it was shown, by the analyses of different waters, especially from the wells at Trafalgar-square, that there was a larger amount of saline . matter than was ordinarily found in chalk water ; and it was argued that filtered Thames water was being pumped from the Trafalgar wells, It was a well ascer tained fact that the water did not find its way into wells sunk below the level of the tidal out fall. This was the case at Ramsgate, at Liver pool, and at Portsmouth. One of the wells at Has lar Hospital having become infected with salt water, an inquiry was instituted, when it was found that the salt water came through a sand beneath the sub jacent clay, into which the tidal water found its way, from an artificial cause. This evil had now been remedied by shutting out the tidal water, and sinking the bore-pipe to 'a lower stratum. In con- , firmation of the opinion as to the general depres sion of the water-level under' London, it was stated that brewers and others'had been obliged repeatedly to lower their pumps. This plan had been recom mended in the Covent-garden well, but it was decided to sink a pipe, 3 inches in diameter, deeper into the chalk, in the belief that an inexhaustible supply would be reached. No water was, however, obtained, and the pumps had to be lowered, as at first proposed, after an unnecessary and useless outlay of money. The pumps were 15 ft., or 20 ft. higher than at Messrs. Combe 's brewery, so that it was neces sary to commence pumping early in the morning, or else the water would be down too low. On one occasion, a further supply of water being required by Messrs. Combe, they were persuaded to sink an additional well, with a view of reaching what was termed the " backbone " of the chalk, and to shut out the sand-water. The failure which arose was predicted. Subsequently by boring holes from the cylinders into the sand . formation, a supply, it was said, of 70 gallons . per minute was obtained. In consequence of the discovery that the water in the well was gradually lowering, daily gaugings had been taken for the last thirty-two years of the rise and fall of the water. From these observations a diagram had been constructed, which had enabled a prediction to' be made in 1846, that the well would be dry in 1857, and it proved correct. Another diagram was also exhibited, showing the monthly rainfall over the same period. On the other hand it was contended that the paper dis tinctly stated that the level of the water in the Trafalgar-square wells had not been permanently depressed, but that, on the contrary, the water stood at the same height in Dec., 1857, as it had done in Dec., 1847, notwithstanding the large quantity of water pumped in the interval. That there had been variations in the level was not disputed, for after a heavy rainfall, or much snow in the winter, the water in the wells increased in' the following'spring, and under opposite circumstances the level of the water fell. It was believed that when wells were properly made and sunk, in suitable localities, into the chalk, the water would stand for a series of years at the same level as when the wells were ori oinally sunk. Two analyses made by a competent Chemist at a long interval of time also showed that the water from the Trafalgar•square wells contained less saline matter than formerly. With regard to the statements as to the general and permanent depression of the' level of the water in , all the wells in the chalk in the north of London, it was advisable that the situation and particulars of the wells in which this had been noticed should be given, and also the quantity of water daily pumped, and the manner in which the observations rated were imade.n t hi s Unless n t o h t these a a s n s e isolatedr t assertionsw i n e s r t e a co nc r e r , obbo n t by numerous examples—they did not prove much: It had been urged that it was impossible to get a large supply of water from the chalk. To this it was replied , that in 1853 a company was formed to supply Charlton, Plumstead, and Woolwich from that source, when from a single well 600,000 gal lens per- day had been obtained. I n ' 1857 'a new borehole,lB inches diameter, was carried down from the bottom of the well to a further depth 'if 509 feet, by which the supply had been increased to 1,000,000 gallons per day, and yet the water stood at the same level as. at first. The Kent Waterworks Company had followed this example, and had sunk a well from which upwards of 1,250,000 gallons per day had been pumped, without producing any effect whatever upon the supply to the ,Plumstead works. Another well wits then sunk, not 500 yards from the first, the yield from which exceeded 1,500,000 galls per day ; and the two together produced, upwards of 3,000,000 gallons per day, yet the level of the water eemained, the same. • 'Thus a large: district of the metropolis was supplied with wa t er f rom th e chalk, and the water was practically free from salt (chloride of sodium), containing no more salt per gallon than the Mimics Water above TeddingtOn lock. It was explained that the water of the PlUinpstead: well was undoubtedly deriied from the chalk, but the London basin did not extend so far, being interrupted by-a fault or faults, so that no fair comparison could be instituted ?etween the Wells under Londomand those at.Plumstead. Also, that analyses of the water from the Traftelger square wells showed 79.9. grains of sea salt per gallon, and little or no carbonate offfme, thus proving that it was sand and salt water, and net chalk water. It was thought that the_paper failed to give informa tion on several points on which explanation was much needed. From 1841 to 1856, it had been pub licly contended that at the Trafalgar-squere,wells no water came from the sand, but that it was de rived entirely from the chalk. The increase in the supply, amounting, it was said, to 600 gallons instead of 100 gallons per minute, had been attributed to thee - enlargement of the fer extending fissures of the chalk. If this was the case it had been found by calculation that 100 gallons per minute, at atmos pheric pressure, passing through say 20 miles of chalk fissure, would require a borepipe 20 inches diameter; whereas the actual borepipe was only seven inches diameter; and to admit the increased supply of 600 gallons per minute this pipe ought to be 19 inches, diameter. Thequantity of chalk which must have been displaced under such circumstances was enormous, and yet no account had been given of it. The members should also have been told that in driving the tunnel between the two wells, owing to the want of proper precautions ; the sand spring built in and nearly drowned the well-sinkers. It was thought the blowing of sand which took place in sinking the second well did not arise, as had been alleged, from the screws which held the joints of the pipes being shaken out, but from the excess of pumping over a limited area. It was not until after some days' pumping' of sand into the ciste rns o f Buckingham Palace and elsewhere that this fact was discovered. It was asserted that the wells in Orange-street and Trafalgar-square were not excep tional to, the general laws governing the rise and fall of waters. They were sand and not c h a lk spring wells, so that the water supplied to the Palace and Government offices was not pure chalk water, but was derived from the sand, and was partly saline, It was stated that since 1832 the pumps-in a well in Cowper-street, City-road, had to be lowered twice, the water level having sunk at last 30ft., though the quantity of water pumped had remained the same. Mention was made of the abundant supply of water in the chalk at Ipswich. There was a large tract of rising country behind, and the chalk cropped out on the. upper side of the river Orwell, into which considerable streams of fresh water ran. It was stated that the town of Colchester ' containing about 20,000 inhabitant s , had since 1851 been supplied with water from a well and a boring into the chalk to the depth of 390 ft. from the surface. The quantity raised ave raged 1,250,000 gallons per week, but more could be obtained if necessary, There had been no appae rent diminution in the yield, and the water stood at the same level as it did nine years ago, which was about five feet above high-water mark. An ac count was then given of a deep boring recently pro secuted at Harwich, for the purpose of obtaining an adequate, supply of fresh water for the inhabitants and for the shipping frequenting the harbdur. Harwich was situated immediately upon the, ada coast, about 12 miles in an eosterly direction from Colchester, and about 12 miles in a southerly from Ipswich, at both of which places an abundant supply of water had been derived from the chalk , formation. Many unsuccessful attempts had pre viously becn made. due it was believed, to suffi cient care not leaving. been taken to shut out the salt water. It was therefore determined to use east iron-pipes, with water-tight joints, and to sink them sufficiently , deep into the chalk to shut out the saltwater. Pipes 10 inches diameter, \ and in lenghts of 9ft. were employ e d, • and these were forced down 50ft. in the chalk, by which it was hoped that the saltwater would be prevented from descending into the borehole. The boring was then prosecuted with a--view of reaching the deep springs which had' been ascertained to exist in the chalk at no very great distance; but the only re sult was, saltwater of precisely the sane character as that in the harbour and the sea immediately ad jacent. The cylinders were then forced down to a depth of 480 ft., and the boring was continued with out any fresh-w ater spring being apparently tapped, as the 'bore-hole remained filled with salt ,water. The expedient was then resorted to of pumping out the salt water, but it flowed in as fast as it was with drawn: The boring was then continued. without any better results in the upper green sand, and sub sequently through the gault to the lower green sand, which was the same stratum that supplied the great boring at Grenelle, in the Paris basin. A few grains of coloured sand, mixed with gault, were met with, giving indications of the existrnee of this forma tion,-when suddenly an extremely hard rocky stra tum was encountered. It somewhat resembled slate, having aline of cleavage with bed-joints dip ping considerably, and containing no fossils. The work 'was then abandoned, and the boring remained in that state at the present time, the water in the pipe ebbing and flowing with the tide. The surface of the ground where this boring was made was six feet above high water, the chalk being met with at 74 feet below it. At Colchester the chalk was 121 feet below the same datum. The peculiarity which had been noticed in the' stratification; and the failure in finding fresh water, could only be ac counted for by the supposition that there was a local fault within a short distance. A similar un successful attempt had been mad e a t Walton-on the-Naze, about six miles from Harwich. It was mentioned that in the 'West of Ireland, at a place about 13 miles from the sea, a well had been sunk through the cavernous limestone. The shaft was 9ft. in diameter, and from 50ft. to 60ft. deep. A supply of water was obtained, but as it was not sufficient an auger hole 3in, diameter was inserted to a further depth of 30ft., or about the level of the sea, and far below the possibility of drainage by the adjacent rivers, when the water entirely disapt peered. In that district rivers disappeared for a distance of three or four miles and then reappeared upon the surface. It was considered that it was most objectionable to derive the supply of water for the metropolis from the river Thames, and that if practicable some other source should be resorted to. The large demands already made by the me tropolitan population upon the waters of the Thames had during dry seasons tended to injure the navi gation, by reducing the scour, and of late years the abstraction of water from the Thames had been greatly increased, aaappeared from the returns of the water companies. It therefore became import ant to ascertain whether that portion of the rainfall 'which was absorbed and percolated into the chalk beneath London, and did not reflow into the river Thames, might not be made available for the supply of the metropolis, without reducing the quantity . of in e t c h o m m t fresh water flowing down the Thames or g . b inches eight ingin rus of rainfall i n a t i h n e f r all res p p e e r annum descended descended into the chalk basin surrounding London, a bare statement of facts, showing that certain wells were being de pressed, whilst others were not, was not deemed sufficient upon which to base an argument that an important source of water supply might not be de rived from the chalk formation, or that the present injurious demand upon the waters of the Thames should be continued. It was remarked that in the new red sandstone, the coal measures, the chalk and other geological formations, the great volume of water existed in the strata bitween 300 ft. and 900 feet deep. Therefore; the idea of getting a larger quantity by sinking deeper was fallacious. Great caution should be observed' in relying upon a sup ply_ of water from wells for large communities. Ancient Rome, New York, Liverpool, and Man chester had originally been supplied from wells. But in' all these cases the local wells had to be abandoned, or else to be largely assisted by going to sources where the water was on the surface. At the same time wells should , not be wholly repu diated for small populations. In reference to the remarks which had been made as to wells near the sea coast, the well at Worthing was alluded to. It was situated at less than a quarter of a mile from the sea coast, and where the surface of the groend was about 300 ft. above high water. The surface water was tubbed out by cast-iron cylinders for a depth of 70fW and then the chalk was bored into ,for a depth of 295 ft. About 150,000 g allons • per day were' pumped, and. as yet there had been no 'perceptible diminution in the quantity, nor was the water at all salt. It was believed that the s t ra t a of the district was capable of yielding a much larger -supply. The experience obtained in sinking a' .large number,of wells into the chalk went to show that. a variation in the water level might alivays be anticipated, according as the previous . • season had been wet or dry. This would not be conclusive whei• the water was being drawn from wells much below the natural outfit!l or the level of the sea. In those cases It was aPprenetided .that the rise or • fall' would.depend on the extent of the water-bearing strata .within the- influence of the pumping. In reply to some of the statements which had been made in 'the ebb tse of the'disctission, it was observed that the supply from the , Trafalgar-square wells had not, been increased at one time. At first 100 gallons per minute were theught sufficient. 'When a larger quantity was required 300 galls, per minute were ,obtained, and now 600 gallons were pumped. It.had been stated in the paper that the abstraction of that quantity had lowered the water 24' ft., be yond which it•could not be depressed. A daily re cord has been kept during 11 years of the height of the water in the wells, and the highest and lowest :levels at which the water stood in each of these' years were given. After the meeting Mr. J. Poole exhibited and explained a parallel motion safety . valve. It was pointed out that the ordinary valve rested on it• face, or seat ;' its vertical or upright motion being guided by a, spindle on the lower side, passing through a box or feathers in the steam pipe. The area of the "difieharge pipe was thus reduced one third, and in some cases as much as one-half. This valve was pressed upon by a weighted lever, mov ing on a hinge, or centre, on one side. When in a state of rest, the lever and the centre of the spindle were at right angles to each other; but 'as soon as the valve rose the angle became more acute. This brought an unequal load upon the valve, and caused the valve to jam, or stick. Tho guide spindle, be ing below the valve face, was also liable to be cer roded by foal or dirty water, and to unegnal con traction and, expansion. It was likewise found that these valves, when out of order, invariably leaped on the side nearest the hinge of the lever. In the parallel motion safety- valve the spindle was on the upper side, the seat or face was flat, and the dis charge was free of interior incumbrances, so that less leverage and weight were necessary. The spindle passed through a guide above, and to the centre of the spindle, on which the valve was hinged, the parallel motion was attached. It was shown, by a sectional model, that the radial action of the lever did not control the vertical action of the valve, which therefore could not stick or jam in its seat.

Last evening.Mr.LHuMphreys, coroner for East Middlesex, presided over a jury at the Three Crowns Tavern, East-road, City-road,.for the purpose of in quiring into the circumstances connected with the death of Edmund Shirley, 'a pbotographist, aged 24, and Rosetta Greenwood, aged 18, who died from the effects of poison. Ellen Mills deposed—l assist Mr. Simmons in his business at the Railway Coffee-house, City-road. On Wednesday evening last, about half-past 10, the two deceased came to my master's house and en gaged a bed. They had nothing to eat or drink. They had engaged a bed on two other occasions, and retired as soon as they came. They brought nothing with them. On the Wednesday night the young-woman appeared very lively, but the young man not so. They gave no instructions as to when they required to be called on the following morn ing.. I showed them upstairs to the room in which their bodies now lie. In consequence of what Mr. Simmons told me I went up to their room about a quarter to 12 on Thursday morning and knocked at the door, but obtained no answer, and I then tried the door and found it was locked on the inside. A policeman was then sent for by Mr. Simmons. Mr. Simmons, proprietor of the Railway Coffee house, corroborated the evidence of the witness Mills. He added—On the arrival of a policeman the door was forced open by Sergeant Harvey. We en tered, and found the deceased girl lying on her back with her arms over the bedclothes, with a white handkerchief in her right hand, as though she was asleep. The man was on his right side, with his right arm round the woman's waist. There was a white foam ou his lips. '['he clothes were slightly disturbed, drawn to the right side. On the man's side of the bed was a tumbler and a bottle labelled " poison." Those now produced are the same. The stopper was not in the bottle, as now; it was on the dressing-table, with two letters. The•bottle was nearly empty, and the tumbler pito so. They were then left until the doctor came. Both were lying apparently asleep in their night clothes. Their day clothes were in the room. Police-sergeant John Harvey, 9 G, produced the letters, which were read by the coroner. The first, addressed to the deceased man's father, was as fol lows: " Dear Father,—l must now say farewell to the world. Your dutiful wife has driven me mad, and as to live to be so unhappy I cannot. If I had not made up my mind to destroy myself I should have shot Sarah out of revenge for my sister's death, which she was the cause of. I know she has been the cause of another deed too frightful to men tion. Yeti may think I have lost all my senses, but I can tell'you that I am as sensible as you arent the present mo ment. Ido not die alone, but the one I love dies with me. My last wish is that we may be buried together. If you wish to Rua us it will be at —. I remain, your disobe dient son, "EDMUND SHIRLEY." The next letter ran thus : "Thursday. "Dear Aunt,—By, the time you receive this I shall be no more for this world.—From your most affectionate, ' "ROSETTA GREENWOOD." I searched the clothes of the deceased, and found nothing in those of the woman, but in the clothes of the man I found 2s. 4d., two purses, a bag, and several minor articles. Charlotte Swain--I reside at 40, Praed-street, Paddington. The deceased woman is my niece. She came to me when she was about seven years old, but has left me occasionally to visit other friends. The last time I saw her alive was on Tuesday after noon last, when she left by my consent for an hour or two. She did not return . again. Her parents are now living, but being in humble circumstances she was allowed to remain with me after coming on a visit. • She was allowed to get her own living by dressmaking. On the Tuesday, the day my niece left, the male deceased called upon her, and re mained with her for about two hours. He did not come into my private room. Their meeting was by my sanction, and has been carried on for the last five months. About three o'clock in the afternoon she had leave to go out for an hour or two. About 6 o'clock , in the evening a person named Strickland came in, and laying a razor on the counter asked if I knew it. I said "No ; how should I?" He then said " You ought to. Rosa is at my house ; there were two razors, and Shirley has put one in his boot and gone away." She gave Strickland ls. 6d. to go to Kingsland to find Shirley's friends, but was unsuccessful. On the Wednesday, about 6 o'clock in the evening, Strick land's wife came with the razor, saying that Shir ley had sent it, and that he (Shirley) had sent word that he should not be seen again, but that Rosy should,corae home. I did not notice that my niece was unhappy. I thought she was unwell, but I did not perceive that she was depressed. Sho went upstairs before she went out, but I cannot say that she brought down the razor. I cannot say whether my deceased niece was at all privy to the taking of the poison. Mrs. Jane Rooty, No. 2, Al‘Dougall's-place, Hox ton—l was not acquainted with the deceased young woman until last Wednesday evening, when she came to my place in company with Shirley. On my askinr , Shirley how he was, he said "I am almost ma d. ti Jenny, take this portrait to my father, and tell him it is the last thing I have to was and y h I is sh s a id l ev e e. g, e a h se e e s h ai i d m , a ‘, l i h v e e r . o " Mr. Shirley's own hands, and I told him I believed i ltg s iov t se l e ie tht b iam otle of poison." I gave the portrait into that his son, having no shelter or home, would de stroy himself. Mrs. Shirley was also told the same thing, when she said " Oh, we have heard of that sort of thing before." Mr. Shirley then wrote a note to the young lady's aunt. The last words made use of by the young lady were that she would never leave him—she would 'die with him. When they left they said they should not come again until this business was settled; By the Coroner—The young lady took the bottle of poison from his hands and put it to her lips. ge took it from her, saying " It is not dissolved." She kissed Edmund Shirley two or three times, and said she would not leave him upon earth, but would die with him. She said she would not go home to be disgraced ; but if her aunt fetched her she would go. By being disgraced sh• alluded. to having been out all the previous night. That is the bottle whichl saw, but there was then something in the liquid undissolved. The bottle was much fuller. Before they went away I gave them some envelopes and paper, and Edmund wrote two letters—one to his father and one to the young lady's aunt. Those letters were taken away by them. I did not know what was in them.. I be lieve the letters produced to be those written in my presence. I believe that when Rosy took the bottle she was under the impression that it was poison, as Bhe said something about Edmund having adminis tered some to a cat. Mr. G. Love, surgeon, attributed death in both cases to the taking prusSie acid or cyanide of POtass, 'A bottle containing the contents -of the stomach having been produced, and the smell coinpared with the bottle containino. acid, The Coroner summed gip, when • The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict in ,each case of " death from the iffeas of poison taken while in a state of unsound mind."

The defender's anwers to the pursuer's condescendence consists mainly of 'denials of the statements set forth therein, with reference to the defender's statement of facts. •' DEFENDERS' STATEiLENT OF FACTS.' • I: The defender beeathe a shareholder of the Edinburgh and Glasgow. - Bank in 1845, when ho acquired 150 shares. He afterwards• in 1846, ac quired other 350 shares, so that in the year 1850. he was proprietor of 500 shares ; which amount of stock he has held ever since, without increase or diminution. He never offered to sell, or intended to sell any shares in the Bank, whether belonging to himself or others, to any person whatever. His two brothers also are holders ; the one of 300 shares, and the other of 368 shares in the said Bank. The defender's own shares and those of his two brothers, have cost them about £lO,OOO. 11. In or about the year 1849, the defender was solicited to become a director in the Bank, and he agreed to accept the office. Accordingly, the de fender was then elected a director, and he continued to, be a director till 1858. Some time after the de fender's election as a director, he was appointed' chairman of the directo rs , and he held this office for some years. 111. The contract of copartnership of the Edin burgh and Glasgow Bank, is dated 29th February, 1844, and various other dates. A good many of the articles of the original contract were from time to time altered by resolutions of the partners, in terms of and under powers conferred by .the contract it self. In particular, such resolutions and alterations were made on 22d March, 1849, on 6th February, 1851, on -sth February, 1832, on 3d February, 1853, on sth February, 1857, and 4th and sth February, 1858. The contract ofeo partnery, with the various resolutions altering or varying the same, is specially referred to, and held as repeated. The whole alterations were effected in due and competent form, and were legally bind ing on the whole partners' of. the 'company. The present pursuer assented to the contract, and to the whole successive alterations thereon. IV. The contract of copartnery is referred to. A great variety of powers are conferred upon the di rectors by the contract, and large discretionary powers, are entrusted to them in relation to the conduct and management of the affairs of the bank, for all which reference is Made to the contract V. The duty of the directors was to afford their advice on whatever matters might from time to time be submitted to them by •the manager, secre tarn or other officers of the Bank, and to give direc tions regarding the general management of the Bank affairs. The whole details of the management, however, were always and necessarily entrusted to the manager, secretary, accountant, and other paid officials of the Bank. The directors were not ex pected or required to make themselves conversant with the whole details of the Bank's business. To have done so would have required an amountof pro fessional skill and an expenditure of time which none of the directors were either asked or expected to give, as the nature of the remuneration given sufficiently showed. This was perfectly understood by all the partners and was and is the practice in other banks, and in allpublic institutions of a simi lar description. VI. By the contract a small allowance was made to the directors, as an acknowledgment for their trouble. This allowance was latterly fixed at £lO per week for the whole directors, and was in prac tice divided among them according- to the number of meetings they respectively attended. The whole amount received by the defender never exceeded on an average £4O per annum. If the defender had been required to master and keep himself informed from time to time of the whole affairs of the Batak, this allowance wouldhave been absurdly dispropor tionate to the labour and skill required, and neither the defender, nor any one else, would for a single moment have undertaken such a task. Nothing of this kind, however, was ever required or expected of the defender. VII. The defender accepted of the office of direc tor on the footing above explained, and in reliance on the clause of indemnity which the contract con tained. He never, however, was a leading member of the direction ; he never was a member of the committee of directors, to whom the board of direc tors confided the more immediate direction of the Bank ; he never was a member of any committee which prepared the quarterly or annual states, from the time he entered the direction until the last year of the Bank. The defender was Lord Provost during three years of the time when he was direc tor ; and from this and numerous other public calls upon his time, he knew less of the affairs of the Bank than many of the other directors. VIII. For the full history of the defender's act ings as director, the defender is obliged to refer to the books, minutes, and records of the Bank itself to which at present the defender has no access. He had no reason to doubt the accuracy of the states and reports which were prepared, and he acted on that footing. At other times he was absent from Edinburgh, sometimes for considerable periods. He was in Italy when the circular of Gth May, 1858, was issued—he had been there for weeks before — and he did not return to this country until some weeks after its date. He never was consulted in relation to that particular ; he never was asked, or had any occasion to approve of it, and he never even saw a copy of it until November,lBsB,long after the bank had ceased to transact business. So, in like manner, with many of the reports or states to which the pursuer refers, but to which, in the absence of the minutes, the defender cannot more particularly refer. IX. Everything done by the defender as director, or in relation to the affairs of the bank, was done in optima fide, in the honest discharge of the defender's duty, without any design of advancing the defender's own interests at • the expense of any one, and without any motive excepting fairly and honourably to promote the interests of the bank, which were identical with his own. From time to time the defender did rely, and necessarily required to rely, on the statements and information furnished to him by the paid officials of the bank. He had no reason to doubt the truth of these statements, which had been passed and approved by previous boards of direc tors, and by the shareholders, before the period when he himself became a director. On the con trary, he had every ground for believing that they were correct; and upon these statements, to a lar: extent, the defender's estimates and calculations were based. His expectations have been disap pointed in many respects, but for this the defender is in no way to blame. He is himself, as well as his brothers, a severe sufferer, nor has he, directly or indirectly, attempted to throw any part of the loss upon others by disposal of any portion of his shares, or in any other way. X. and XI. State that the pursuer has been from the first a shareholder in the Edinburgh and Glas gow Bank, and was present at various meetings of the company ; and that from 1844 to 1858 he had full means of making himself acquainted with the position of the company. XII. After it was found necessary to wind up the business of the bank, and to transfer its whole assets and liabilities to the Clydesdale *Bank, in June 1858, the pursuer was one of the shareholders who approved of and conourred in this being done. The pursuer was present at the meeting of part ners, held on the 10th June, 1858. He moved an alteration in the articles of agreement between the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank and the Clydesdale Bank ; and the alteration which the pursuer pro-. posed was agreed to. At this meeting certain parties took a protest, reserving their claims against AV' v . ' , '1 4 .$ j - directors, but the present pursuer di it con S :ur in that protest, or adhere thereto. XIII. By the articles of .agreement between the Edinburgh and . Glasgow Bank and the Clydesdale Banking Company, of Bth and 9th June, 1858, of which -agreement the pursuer appreved, and in width. he concurred—it was provided, " That the stock and business of the said Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank shall, as ou the evening of the, 19th day, of Jane, 1858, be taken over by, so . ns to. be united with the' Clydesdale Banking .Company, Arid that subject to the terms and conditions followifti”- The agreement then specified the terms •on wkic h. the stock, - assets, and business of the Ediablirgh and Glasgow Bank wt.l!. to be hanckd over to tile Clydesdale Bitching Company. The agreement is .referred to. The agreement was, with the pursuer's consent and concurrence, carried into •etfeet ; and the whole stock and property of every description belonging to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank were transferred and made over to the 'Clydesdalet Banking Company. XIV. The various purchases made by the pur suer of stock or shares in the Edinburgh and GIAS. gow Bank were made without any reference to, • and without any communication with, the defender. The purchases were made as speculations on the part:of the pursuer, and in the hope that the valuk of the stock would rise. The pursuer kne* the: risks attendant on such stock, and the contingen cies to which it was exposed, Many of the purser's alleged purchasers were made after the - stoppage of the Western Bank, and during the panic and depreciation of bank stock which fol lowed that event. The pursuer knew that if the panic continued, the business of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank might be destroyed altogether. On , the other hand, there was the chance that confidence might be restored, in which case the shares would rise in value., The pursuer was net' induced to Ktrchase by the defender di rectly or indirectly, and there , was no Contract between them in relation 'to these purchases. 'lf the pursuer's Speculation had been profitable, the gain would have been his own. The speculation was made solely at his own risk. XV. The defender is in no ways answerable for the unfortunate result which has attended specula tions in stock of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank.* The defender did all he could to promote the inte rests Of the bank. He retained his own stock to the last, and still holds the full number of shares which he ever possessed. XVI. As .already mentioned, the whole books, papers, and documents, of every description be longing to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank, were handed. 'over to the Clydesdale Banking Company in june, 1858: The d e fend er h as h a d no . access to these books- and p a p ers ,. nor t o any copies thereof. The - pursuer,. before raising the present action, obtained exhibition of the books and papers of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank; and had full opportunity o f ma ki ng , and did make, full excerpts therefrom. The pursuer has not produced a single document or paper of any kind with the present summons, although the summons contains a ' great variety of details regarding the alleged entries or statements contained in the bank books, or ab stracts, and- states of affairs. In these circum stances, while the defender has, in the' present de fences, given every explanation in his' power, and as far as he could do so, without .access to the bank books and papers, he reserves right to make such additional statements as may be required, so soon as he shall have had an opportunity of examining the 'books and documents referred to. PLEAS IN LAW. I. All parties interested are not called. The pur suer is bound to call the whole directors of the Bank who were parties to the acts complained, n or; at all events, in so far as the action is laid upon ne glect or violation of duty. 11. The pursuer's statements are irrelevant and insufficient to support the conclusion of the summons. No sufficient grounds are stated inferring liability against the defender. The allegations of fraud are insufficient in detail and in precision. 111. The defender is not liable for the acts of his co-directors, or for the acts of the other defenders. He is entitled to the protection afforded by the clause of immunity contained in the contract. Hav ing acted in bona fide, and to the best of his ability, he is not answerable for the results. - IV. The pursuer has not set forth any statements or grounds sufficient in law to infer a conjunct and several liability against the defenders, nor does his statement contain the means or elements for establishing a separate liability against the de fenders. There are no termini habiles by which the alleged liability of either of the defenders can be measured or ascertained. V. The pursuer cannot found on any alleged acts of the directors or officials, as involving any lia bility against the defender, in which acts the de fender was not individually participant. VI. The pursuer having approved of, and con curred in the whole reports of the directors, and re solutions of the partners, including the transferenee to the Clydesdale Banking Company, he is barred from insisting in his present claim. VII. The whole of the pursuer's essential state ments being false in point of fact, the conclusions of the action cannot be maintained. VIII. In the whole circumstances, and the.pur suer's statements and pleas being false and ground less, the defender is entitled to absokiter, with expenses. In respect whereof, &c., AD.

THE LIBERAL CAUSE IN EAST SUFFOLK.—The Liberal party at the late official revision of the register of electors in East Suffolk made very strenuous exertions to retrieve their apathy and neglect in this particular informer years. Their efforts are stated to have been highly success • ful, and the gain in the various registration districts is re• turned as follows :—lpswich, 250 ; Needham Market, 24; Woodbridge, 28; Framlington, 26; Sairmundham, 12; Halesworth, 80; Beccles, 71; tradbroke, 59 ; Loweitoft, 178; total, 728. As the majority by which Sir F. Kelly de feated Col. Adair, the Liberal candidate, in May last was only 634, the gallant colonel's adherents regard his fixture candidature with hope. A STORY OF THE RIFLE MOVEMENT.—Lord Elcho has been among the most strenuous promoters of vo lunteering, and most diligent students under Gen. Hay, at Hythe. Lord Elcho is an old and crack deer-stalker ; and to his mortification he found, at Hythe, strive as he would, he could not get into the first class. Among his more success ful competitors was 2 by-no-means distinguished-looking Londoner—a true son of Cockneydom—who gradually out stripped all his fellow-shooter's and ended by carrying off the first prize. The Londoner was evidently no novice at ball practice, yet he was, just as evidently, the last man in the world likely to have had any shooting in the deer fo rest. Lord Elcho, curious to learn how he had gained his proficiency, asked him how he had acquired it.
