An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the Royal Surrey Gardens this afternoon, for the purpose of taking into considera tion the propriety of winding np the company, volun - Wily, under the Joint-stock Companies Aot, 1856. Mr. Holmes occupied the chair. The attendance of shareholders was very small. The CHAIRMAN said the object of calling the meet ing was to wind up the concern. Having stated what had already been done in reference to the state of the gardens, he said that the largest shareholders had been canvassed with a ♦iew to resuscitate the gardens, by their subscribing to preference shares of 21. 10s. each, which would give ss. in the pound down, and debentures for ss. more to those who had a priority of claim. on the assets of the gardens, the same bearing interest at eight per cent. till the creditors' claims were paid, but without success. The proposition of the directors in that respect had not been responded to, and as it would be neither fair nor honest of the directors to withhold from the creditors what assets the company represented, the only course they could now recommend was an equitable distribution of what remained amongst the creditors. The question, therefore, was, whether they should proceed with the petition now before the Court, or by a voluntary winding up by the shareholders. He thought the former course the best, because in a voluntary winding-up it would not prevent adverse cre ditors or shareholders from filing petitions for the inter ference of the Court. _ _ _ Mr. JONES, the company's solicitor, said there were objections to a voluntary winding-up of the company ; and as there was a petition now before the Court, in which great expense bad been incurred, it would be better for all that they should proceed with it. With 15,0001 mortgage and 10,0001. debt, it was not to be expected that the company could be wound up so as to pay 20s. in the pound, and give the shareholders a penny in return for what they had advanced. He con sidered they could not wind up an insolvent estate voluntarily, more especially whilst a petition was on the rolls of the Court. _ Mr. COOXBES advocated the proceeding with the peti tion for winding up now before the Court. The whole might be settled in a month. Mr. FLEXING, solicitor, considered voluntary winding np the best mode of proceeding. Less would be spent in litigation by such a course, and the property would realise as much by a voluntary winding up as under a compulsory one. Mr. JONEB, architect, considered compulsory winding up the best, because it would be a more effectual pro. needing. Mr. HALES also urged compulsory winding up as best for the creditors. The court had no power to interfere in a voluntary winding up to compel a dissentient creditor to take the dividend the assets would give. Mr. TODD moved, and Mr. H. JONES seconded, that the company should be wound up under the powers of the Court. The CHAIRMAN said it required three fourths of the number of shareholders and amount of capital to con sent to a voluntary winding up. In answer to questions from shareholders, Mr. JONES, solicitor, said there was nothing to pre ♦ent any of the shareholders from purchasing the gardens under the rale of the court. The money would be received and paid under a liquidator appointed by the court, on the suggestion of the shareholders. The motion was put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro ceedings. CASUALTIES IN INDIA. (From the London Gazette of this Evening) Camp, Lahore Gate, Delhi, November 20, 1857.

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS. (Before Vice-Chancellor Stuart.) THE BRITISH GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION V. THE MARQUIS OF NORMANBY. Mr. Pemberton applied for leave to serve a short notice of motion for Wednesday, for an injunction against the defendant, as representing the Reform Club. The Marquis of Normanby was out of the jurisdiction ; and it was asked that, so far as he was concerned, the service on the solicitor might be good service. The Vice-Chancellor said he had some difficulty about making the order in that form. The better way would be to make the ordinary order, and then the plaintiffs might serve as many of the defendants as they could. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood.) IN RE ROSHERVILLE GARDENS. Mr. Rolt and Mr. Roxburgh resumed their ar guments this morning in support of the petition for winding-up the company, at the instance of Mr. Mayhew, the petitioner, and others. Mr. Cairns also appeared for parties holding shares who wished the company to be wound up. Mr. Daniel and Mr. Southgate, on behalf of Mr. Tones and others, opposed the petition, denying , that the company was anything more than a part nership, and that the company, on the face of the accounts, was insolvent. They also stated that a winding-up order would prejudice Mr. Jones, who intended filing a bill for the purpose of taking the accounts. The Vice-Chancellor said he would give judg ment to-morrow (Tuesday.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE QUEEN T. J. 11. G. SMYTH-QUALIFICATION OF A SHERIFF. In this case a rule had been obtained against Mr. John Henry Greville Smyth for refilling to take upon himself the office of sheriff for the city and county of Bristol. Sir F. Thesiger, in now showing cause against the rule, said Mr. Smyth was little more than 21 years of age, and resided at Ashton Court, Somerset, a mile from the city of Bristol. He was possessed of very considerable estates, a small part compara tively of which was i❑ the city of Bristol. Ho was the freeholder of the estates within the city, but did not occupy any portion of them, they being all let out to tenants ; and he was not a burgess, nor en titled to be on the burgess roll. On the 9th Nov. "last he was elected by the town council to be sheriff of the city and county of Bristol. He refused to take upon himself that office, considering he was not liable to serve ; and this rule was obtained for the purpose of trying the question. The corporation of Bristol founded their case on the 61st section of the sth and 6th Win. IV., c. 76, which enacted that in the city of Oxford, Bristol, and other counties of cities, the town council should, off the Ist day of November every year, appoint "a fit person" to execufe the office of sheriff. A subsequent act pro vided that the appointment should be made on ttie 9th November, immediately after the election of mayor. Prior to that act Bristol was governed by charters, some of which were very deficient. By these it was provided that the common council, which was a self-elected body composed of freemen, should on the 15th Sept. every year elect and nominate two burgesses of the city, out of the common council or not, to be sheriff... It was said that the sth and 6th Wm. IV. repealed that portion of the charters, and enabled the town council to elect any fit per son to serve the office of sheriff, and to compel him to perform the duties in connection with it. Sir F. Thesiger nowcontended that the act meant not only that the town council should appoint a fit person, but one who was properly qualified. Lord Campbell thought that if Mr. Smyth hid taken upon himself the office of sheriff there would be some difficulty in removing him on the ground of his unfitness. Sir F. Thesiger sulynitted that he was not pro perly qualified for the office, being neither a bur gess nor entitled to be one, and being resident out of the city, and in no way connected with the cor poration. He was entirely beyond the juris liction of the corporation, and could not legally be com pelled to serve the office of sheriff. Mr. Gray followed on the same side. Lord Campbell said this was a very important case, and it was desirable to have it put in such a form that the decision of a higher Court could be obtained. One rule could not be applied to Bristol, and another to other cities in the same category. Sir F. Thesiger---Mr. Smyth is willing to accede to any suggestion for the purpose of obtaining the highest au- tiority. Lord Campbell asked what provision there was with regard to the office of sheriff when a gentleman elected to it refused to serve ? Sir F. Thesiger—lt is provided that the late sheriff 3hall cont'nue in office until the appointment of his successor. Sir F. Kelly, who appeared for the corporation, observed that the difficulty was that the appoint ment of the successor had !Already taken plat,-. Lord Campbell—But the appointment must for the present be considered invalid. The old sheriff is de facto in office, and all he does will have legal validity. Sir. F. Kelly—l am glad to hear your lordship say so. It was then agreed that a writ of mandamus should issue ; that a special case, rasing the ques tions, should be sated upon the return ; and th-tt the case should be taken pro forma through the Court of Exchequer Chamber, with thii view of having the decision of the House of Lords at an early period. Judgment accordingly. CUSTODY OF A CHILD. A gentleman sawed Harris applied to the Court for a habeas corpus to bring up his son, named William Gordon, Harris, who was 10 months' old, and had been born and christened while the applicant was in prison. Mr. Harris stated in his affidavit that his wife had separated herself from him, and remained in concealment with the child against his wi , h ; and that he believed M r . Moon, her attorney, had intercepted his letters to her, and was cognisant of her address and privy to the unlawful concealment of the child. He further stated that he believed the object of his wife was to remove his son to a foreign country, and to bring him up in the Roman Catholic religion, to which he (the applicant) was opposed. Under these cir cumstances he hoped the Court would grant him the writ. Lord Campbell—To whom do you propose we should direct the writ ? Mr. Harris—l believe, my lord, that Mr. Moon has a knowledge of i Lie plat 3 of concaalment of my wife and child, and he is privy to the unlawf u l de tention of the child, and that he is the prop er per son to whom the writ should be addressed. ___ Lord Campbell—But you must satisfy us before we take such a step that Mr. Moon is a party to the custody of the child. The best way will be to direct the writ to your wife. Mr. Harris said he did not know where to find her. The Court granted a writof habeascorpus directed to Mrs. Harris or any other person who might have the custody of the child. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Erie and Common Juries.) This was the first sitting in London for the pre sent term, the list contained 40 causes, of which 21 were reinauets. BUSINESS OF THE COURT. Mr. E. James asked his lordship whether he in tended to sit here on Monday next, the day fixed for the marriage of the Princess Royal. flu Lordship said he unierstood the Court would sit iu banco at Westminster, and if so, be should sit at nisi Arius ; he would, however, make inquiry and state the result to•ruorrow (this day). COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Cock burn and Justices Williams, Crowder, and Willes.) POWIS V. BUTLER AND ANOTHER-PROCEEDINGS_ AGAINST THE ESTATE OF A DECEASED SHARR HOLDER IN THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. The defendantswe;;;;;;;;;;fil7.C. Walton, who had been a shareholder in the Royr.l British Bank, and the plaintiff had proceeded by scirefacias against them to recover the balance of a debt due from the bank. Mr. Walton died on April 16, 1856, and the bank stopped payment in Sept. following. The name of the deceased appeared in the last me morial of shareholders, which was filed in June, 1856, and the 21st sec. of the 7 and 8 Vic., c. 113, enacted " that the persons whose names shall ap pear from time to time on their last delivered me morial, and their personal representatives, shall be liable to all legal proceedings under this act. as ex isting shareholders." The question was whether the estate of the deceased was liable, notwithstanding his death before the bank stopped. Another point in the case was that Mr. Walton's executors had transferred the ehr :es before the bank stopped, but the transfer deeds had not been registered. Mr. Beasley submitted that Mr. Walton was in law a shareholder in the bank when it stopped. Mr. Justice Williams—The question is whether he was a shareholder atter he was dead. Mr. Beasley—Whether the Act of Parliament for this purpose kept him alive. (A latt4ll.) The Lord Chief Justice—And that by implication, not by positive enactment. Mr. Justice Williams—lf you are right that the statute keeps him alive, i do not see what has hap pened since to kill him—(laughter)—and then y ou are in this difficulty, that you were suing &man you knew was Lot alive. _ _ _ Mr. Beasley submitted that the estate of Mr. Walton washable to be taken in execution under the judgment which had been recovered; for a cre ditor had no means of ascertaining whether a share holder was dead or alive ; he could only refer ti the last memorial. There might be a cempaey consist ing only of a few shareholders, the whole of whom mr,:ht have died since the last memorial had been filed, and how could a creditor proceed in that case Mr. Phipson, on the other side, addressed. the Court at considerable length, contending that the defendants were not liable to the proceedings in question. The Lord Chief Justice was of opinion that there should be judginent for the defendants. He thought the meaning of the Legislature must be taken to this, that where a person was a share holder, or, being on the memorial, was therefore to be tkeu as a shareholder, would have been per sonally liable, in the event of his death, his legal representatives must be held to be liable also. But, on the other hand, where a person would not have been—though on the memorial—liable to be pro ceeded against on ,a judgment against the company, his personal representatives would not be liable. In the present instance, the shareholder had died before the judgment was obtained. Death had re moved him beyond the reach of any proceedings under this act. He never could have been pro ceeded against. He thought that the utmost the Legislature intended was that the representatives of the shareholder should be liable where he him self would have been liable if livin g . As this party never could have been proceeded against, there fore his representatives were not liable. Judgment for the defendants. FRY V. RUSSELL-JUDGMENT. Mr. Justice Wales said this case was argued last term. The defendant was a shareholder in the British Bank w hen the last memorial was regis tered, and although a transfer of his shares was made and registered subsequently to that period, yet there was no further memorial filed showing that he had ceased to be a shareholder. In this case !here would be judgment for the plaintiff.

THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn said that, finding that the Lord Chancellor and the ogler equ ty judges had determined on making Monday, the 25th inst., the day of the celebration of the nuptials of the Princess Royal, a holiday, he had commu nicated with the Court of Qiie,n's Bench and the Court of Exchequer, and found thAt there was a similar intention there. He could only say :hat the Court most cordiaily conciirrfA jo the common desire to make it a day of gen:--ral and ional re jicing, and woulii, like the olv,"r Courts, Lot - , sit that day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Martin, Watson, and Channel!) CARTER AND ANOTHER V. HUGHES-HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. This action was brought by the plaintiffs, John Carter and Alexatlder Angus Croll, to recover 1151. ss. 6d., alleged to be due by the defrn.lant, William S:.mtiel Price Hughes, t theal as sneriffi of Middlesex, for poundage on 4 ..1 , o writs , tf elege:, for 6,0031. 10s., and 1,4111. resp:ctively. Th- c.tuse was tried at the Sur: ey assizes, i t the summer of 1856, before Mr. Justice Ede, when a v,.r.dct was taken for the plaintiffs subject to the t pini.tu of this Court on a special case. it app, areal that the pre sent defendant had in August, October, and Nov., 1852, recovered judgments against Mr. Benjamin Lumley, the lessee of her Majesty's Theatre, and sued out three distinct writs of eleget for 1, 1431. 10s., 6,0031. 10s., and 1,4111. With respecr, to the two last wits of eleget, the plaintiffs made a return that they were unable to deliver the lands and te nements mentioned therein to Mr. Hughes, by reason of their having already delivered them to him under the first wr7t, but this return was sub , sequently altered at Mr. Hughes's request, by in serting the statement that tl:e plaint i ffs had caused the same to be delivered to him by a reasonable price, subject to the interest of himself and other eleget creditors. The poundage on the first writ was duly paid, and the question now for the opi nion of this Court was, whether the plaintiffs were entitled to poundage with respect to the seeind and third writs. Mr. Henyman argued the cas.3 for the plaintift!, and Mr. Lloyd for the defendant. The Lord Chief Baron said the Court were una nimously of opinion that the sheriffs were not en titled to poundage on the second and third elegets, for there was nethiug which the law recognisel as an interest left in the debtor after the execution of the tic st eleget. They had handed over nothing to defendant, and they had therefore no claim for poundage. Barons Martin, Watson, and Channell concurred. Judgment for the defendant. THE PRINCESS ROYAL'S ITARRIAGE. An app!icatiou having been made by Mr. 13Dvi11 to their lorthhips to take a particular case on Mou thy, the 25h instant, The Lord Chief Baron said—W e canno t sa y we will take that or any other case on that day, as the Court will not sit. I understand that the Lord Chancellor has intimated that he will close the equity courts on that day, and I think the courts of law rygght to flow the example. Mr. Baron Martin—l undersiarad that Lord Campbell has decided on Bitting, having s4ii4ied himself that there is no precedent for closing the courts on such occa4ious. We shall lose four days of the term if we do not sit on Monday, es TiIUT'S day and Friday are devoted t o error, and on Satur day we shall be called upon to make up a criminal court. The Lord Chief Bar .n—This Court will not sit. There is a maxim of the law—" Equitas sequitur legemn." I think we ought o invert that rriaxiin on this auspicious occasion, arid follow equity. (Sittings at Nisi Puns, at Guddhall, before Mr. Baron Brarnwql and Common Juries.) SMALL AND OTHERS V. JOHNSON-BILLS OF EX- CHANGE. This was an action brought upon two bills of ex change fa 4531. 13, 3d. and 3961. 1.2;. 6d. by the plaintiffs, A endorsees, against the defendant as the acceptor. The bills were alleged to have been drawn by Messrs. Taylor and Bright upon, and ac cepted by, the defendant, endo . seit by the drawers to the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills Company, and by them to the plaintiff's, Mes , rs Smith anit Co., the bankers at Hull. The defendant denied the endorsement of the bills by Bright and Taylor to the Flax Company, and by the latter to the plain tiffs. The pleas then further alleged that the bills had been obtained by Bright and Taylor from the defendant by fraud, and without consideration ; that they had been endorsed by them to the coin pa.ny without consideration ; and that the plaintiffs had taken the bills, well knowing the facts, with out consideration. _ Mr. Edward James an'l Mr. Cross were counsel for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Lash and Mr. Mereweather represented the defendants. It appeared from the opening statement that the plaintiffs were bankers at Hull. The bills were drawn by Messrs. Taylor and Bright, the latter of whom was convicted of forgery, and was now un dergoing imprisonment for the offence. At the period when the bills were dated—June, 1857 Bright was chairman of the Board of Directors of the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills Company. The bills in questiOn were endorsed by Bright to the company, and they were then endorsed by him, as its chairman, and by a Mr. Whittaker. to the plain tiff, then bankers. It would be proved that the plaintiffs had given consideration for the bills, which they had received in the ordinary course of business. They did not dispute the fact that the plaintiffs might have been swindled out of the bills by Bright, but denied that they had any knowledge of the circumstances. Mr. Co.)k, the plaintiffs' cashier, was called, and proved that the bills in question had been paid into their bank on the 30th of June, by the cashier of the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills Company, together with other bills, amounting in all to 1,2321. 12s. 3d. Bills endorsed by the plaintiffs, amounting to 1,226/„ were given the same day in exchange. The company were at that time indebted to the plaintiff , i. The company were credited with 1,2321., and debited 1,226/. Cross-examined —They had an account with Mr. Bright ; also Bright was the clia4anan of the com pany, of which they had been the bankers ever since its formation. The bills given to the conadany's cashier were bills received by thellaintiffs in the loourse of business. The reason they gave them was that the cotton brokers required bills endorsed by a banker. Those bills had since been paid. Mr. Bright managed the financial affairs of the cow pang, and Whittaker was deputy-chairman. The bills thought by Br gait were not acdounnodation bills. Bright carried on business as Taylor and Co. Mr. Lest), in addressi ng the jury for the defence, said that if their vetdic' depended upon the fact that the defendant had bseu swindled out f the bills, he would be entitled. Hu was not in bu;i ness, and he bast been induced by Mr. Bright, who was a shareholder and director iu several under takings, to give him bills for the purpose of pur chasing shares for him. Bright, however, had con verted them to his own use, and never gave John. son any shares, or any other consideration fur them. Johnson had reason to believe that Bright had been dealing largely in acc ommoda t , on to bi r i t, ls p , ii :a t t e id so tl m ia e t the b:li s in question had been given such bills held by the plaintiffs. After hearing the evidence of the plaintiffs cashier, he could not deny that they had given consideration for the bills. He, must, therefore, rest the case entirely on the third plea, namely, that the company had not endorsed the bills to the plaintiffs, • and in support of that he should show that, under the Joint-Stock Companies' Act, companies were bound to register their resolutions, and that no person could draw, accept, or endorse bills or notes without a resolution being passed expressly invest ing such persons with these powers. Ile would show that by a certain resolution of the company, pasted in March, 1856, in consequence of that act, all previous resolutions of the company were re scinded, and since that period no resolution bad been passel giving the requisite authority to any person to draw, accept, or endorse bills, notes, or cheques. Under these circumstances Bright and Whittaker hail no authority to endorse these bills to the plaiutffs, and they were still the real holders of the notes. The plaintiffs -therefore could not maintain the present action. The books Of the company were then produced, anti proved the stitement.of the learned counsel. Mr. Edward James then applied to his lordship to strike out the endorsemeut, as the plaintiffs were the bona fide holders and purchasers of the bills for value. Mr. Baron Bramwell said he did not like to decide the question there. It was an entirely new point, and he should prefer the case being taken to the court above. He would just give his present opinion, though a very vague one, so that the per son who felt himself aggrieved might take his cage further. The point might be raised that, the company's bills having been always endorsed in a similar manner to those in question, the public were at liberty to consider that sufficient evidence of authority. He, however, did not think that, uuder the stringent words of the act, was sufficient evi 'erica of authority, and he should therefore direct a verdict for the defendant upon the second and fourth issues, and for the plaintiffs on the others, with leave to the plaintiffs t i move the Court aboveupon the questions of the authority to endorse and their power to amend the declaration by striking out the endorsement. Verdict accordingly. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The sittings of the Court for the January Quarter Sessions were resumed yesterday morning at the Guildhall, Westminster, by adjournment from C.flerkenwell, before Mr. Pashley, Q.C., assistant judge, and a bench of magistrates. There were 61 prisoners for trial, 56 for felony, and five for mis demeanour. Thomas Moore, 33, clerk, pleaded guilty to an iniictmtnt charging him with embezzling the sums of 81. 6d., and 10/. 10& received by him on account of Frederick Jonc - i, his master, It was stated that alto ether the prisoner had robbed the prosecutor of uvwards of 1001., and that he had tampered with books. The court sentenced him to hard labour for one year. Mr. Foote was for the prosecution. Mr. Cooper for the prisoner. James Fitzgerald, 20, was indicted for stealing the mil of 861., the money of Hypolite Dahor, his master. Mr. F. H. Lewis prosecuted ; Mr. Payne W A for the prisoner. The prosecutor was a lamp manufacturer in rratd-street, Soh), and the prisoner, who had been in his service about three years, as porter, was entrusted with 10 sovereigns, and sent to Messrs. Prescott's to get a cheque for 761. cashed. The prisoner absented himself, and sent a letter stating that he had lost the money, and that was the defence now set up, but a witness was pro duced on the part of the prosecution, who deposed that the prisoner told him he had "planted" it. The jury found him Guilty, and the Assistant - Judge sentlnced him to hard labour for one year. (Before Mr. Creasy.) John Herbert Turner surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment charging him with having been guilty of conduct of an abominable descrip tion in the Ade:ophi arches. The case stood for trial at the last Fes si tela atOlerkenwell, but throng? , a mistake he did not . surrender, and his recogni" sances were estreated. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Cole appeared for the pro secution, instructed on behalf of the Treasurf Mr. Sleigh was counsel for the prisoner. After a long trial, the prisoner, who was a pub- Roan at Hounslow, was found guilty. Sentence was deferred. John R.9lfe 19, was indicted for stealing eight spoons and other articles, the property of Stephen. Bourne. Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted ; Mr. Cooper was coun sel for the prisoner. This robbery was committed by the prisoner 04 two others, who were convicted. He was let out on bail and decamped, and was subsequently sr preher_ded on a bench warrant. One of his a mour. plices was brought up by habeas f ro m the House o f Correction to prove his guilt, which he did clesrll , and from his evidence it appeared that the adage "Honour ammo- b thieves" had been quite &Pre; garded in the sharing of the plunder, for each of the three cheated the other two, or did. his best to do so. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to six months' hard labour. - BREAKING DOWN Or A SUSPENSION BRIDGE. - 00 r Monday morning as Mr. Groves, of Duttons, waggo n e ti (from near Montgomery), was crossing the Caerho wel a Suspension-bridge, over the Severn, with a waggnul °2 ' of lime, the brid g e st.bienly broke, arid the waggo ner and team precipitated into the water.
