Thomas Chillle, aged 12 years, Daniel Ward, 14, John Polack, 15, and George Woolver, 16, were indicted for a burglary committed on the 31st of August, and stealing eight sovereigns, two half-so vereigns, and 20 shillings in silver. The three latter were charged with receiving only. The Jury found the young delinquent Guiky, and the RECORDER sentenced him to seven years' trans portation. The other three were acquitted. William Beelrup, a shoemaker, aged 38, was in dicted for maliciously stabbing his wife, Catherine Hectrup, with intent to kill and murder her. Mary Gilbert, of No. 11, White's-alley, Coleman street, knew the prisoner and his wife. The latter lived with Witness, and slept in the same room with her. The prisoner did not cohabit with his wife. SaW them both on the 2tl of September at her own room. 'When the prisoner entered the., room, he . asked Wheie are the seven persons who said I stole the shoes ? His wife called him a " prig" (thief), and asked what brought him there? The prisoner then sat down by his wife, and had some talk. with her. • There did . noVappear to be any anger between them at this time; on the contrary, they laughed and joked together. The wife soon after went out for some shoe-binding, and bound one pair while the pri soner remained in the room. When she returned they , had some gin, of which the prisoner, his wife, Mary Ann Shaw, and witness, partook. They then had some tea ; after which the prisoner asked his wife for some money to buy rum, but she refused to give him any. Soon after the prisoner asked witness how often Mr. Kelly had been there, whose master used to give his wife shoes to bind. Witness replied, that he had been there three times. The prisoner then said he would tell who had a pair of shoes that were missing, if his wife would give him a pint of rum. She refused, and the prisoner then said, " Are:You not sorry for losing the shoes ?" to which the wife replied, " Not stall." The prisoner then took up a knife from the window close to which he was sitting, and stubbed his wife with it three times in the breast, but the busk of her stays prevented the knife from reaching her body. Witness cried out, " Lord have mercy upon us, the man is killing the woman," and ran down stairs, and as she was going she heard the wife call " Murder !" She did not touch the pri saner while witness remained in the room. This evidence was corroborated by other witnesses. The prisoner, in his defence, said that his wife had sent to him to say that she had been in fault, and freely forgave him " the little accident" which had happened. The prisoner then went on to state, that while he was in prison, previous to Ibis trans -action, a person came and told him that he had seen his wife walking with Kelly in Finsbury-square, and that he had reason to believe that she had been un faithful to him. The prisoner added that he loved his wife, and whatever be had done arose from jealousy. The Jury, after conswlting for about five, minutes, retained a verdict of Guilty. The RECORDER told the prisoner to prepare for the worst. He had shown no mercy to his wife, and must expect none. The case, however, wapiti be submitted to his Majesty in council, and it was not for him (the Learned Judge) to cay what would be the result. Taylor,olias George Forster, a hackney coach proprietor, lately carrying on business in the vicinity of Hatton-garden, was indicted for burgle riOusly breukiug and entering the shop of William Fowler, in Tottenham-court-road, on the 10th of September, with intent to steal therefrom two horse collars, and several bags of harness, of the valu e o f .504 and upwards, the p ro p erty o f Wm. Fowler. After thei evidence had been gone through, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of his former good conduct. Dennis Sullivan' and John Xilsby were indicted for stealing a quantity of iron grating, the property of the Metropolitan Commercial ROad. In this apparently trifling case there were no less than eight counts in the indictment. Mr. ADOLPHUS appeared for the prosecution, an, Mr. C. Plittlirs for the prisoner*. . During the investigation some legal sparring took' place between the two learned advocates, in conse quence of a play upon words used by the One of the witnesses said that he came to " duce" the property. Mr. C. YIIILLIpS—To produce, you mean. Mr. Anotxttus— , -Ile (witness) does not talk such good Irish as you do. Mr. C. PHILLIPS—I hope he will learn more polite English than you are in the habit of using, To the %vitnesi—How can you swear to theite gratings, are not all gratings very . much alike Witness—There may be a man in existence 'err much like you, but it is not very probable, Mr. C. PHILLIPS—Why did you not select Mr. Adolphus as the subject of that witty remark ? Mr. ADominus—Because lie preferred you, M r . Phillips. Mr. C. PHILLIPS—Because he knew it was useleee to make an example of you, Mr. Adolphus. Several persons were called by Mr. C. PHILLIPS, who gave Sullivan a good character; but the Jury re. turned a verdicrof Guilty against both the prisoners. melds, such as the - dead weight of 13,000,0001.; 9,000,000/. in Exchequer bills, 5,000,000/. in mort gages, loans upon stock, public companies, London , bridge, Lorrdomdocks, grc.—none, of these secu curities, he conceived, could be offered for sale by the Bank without materially injuring public credit ; —4,000,000/. in commercial bills, 8,000,0001. of paper issue'l for 8,000,0001. of gold and silver de posited in the Bank, 14,500,000/. (the Bank ca pital) lent to Government. He thought, there , fore, the issues of the Bank could not be less than 40,000,000/. of paper. One•third of this amount might remain with the Bank as deposits; and this could not alter the' available issues and the Bank liabilities. In the absence of correct information, he Was obliged to assume some of these data; but the fault was not his. He was obliged to go by the best accounts within access; but though all the accounts he had mentioned might ,not be strictly correct, he was warranted in say ing that the issues of the Bank were enormous. When this was considered, and when we knew the great amount of British property lately embarked in 'foreign loans, it was matter of much importance to think what would become of this property in the event of a war. The Hon. Proprietor, after advert ing to the reduction of the funds from 5 to 3} per cent., which, he observed, could not have been brought about by fair means, and which had been in many instances nearly the ruin of the widow and the orphan, and a breach of the original compact 'with the public creditor, moved, as an amendment— " That a dividend of 4/. per cent. ho now declared for the halt year's interest on capital stock of this Company; payable the lOth of October next ; and that previous to the proposal of any future dividend, an account be laid be fore the Proprietors of the total amount of all their debts and liabilities up to the let of March, 1831, Ilistinguish ing each head of nubility ; and also an account of the value of their joint stock or other capital effects remaining undivided up to the same date." Such a course as this was, he observed, necessary for the security of every Proprietor of Bank Stock; for those who heard him must be aware, that if they divided out of any thing but their profits—if any dividend was made out of their chartered capital —the property of every Proprietor was liable to make good the deficiency. The amendment having been seconded, The GOVERNOR said, that before he put it to the Court he would take the opportunity of offering a few remarks. The questions which the Hon. Pro-' prietor had put, and the information he required to day, though not strictly the same as those which he brought forward on a former occasion, had yet the same tendency. There was nothing new in the amendment, for in effect, it was the same as others upon which former Courts had decided. The ques tion was one which did not concern that Court alone. It was a matter of the utmost importance to the whole kingdom. The lion. Proprietorwas tnis - - taken if lie thought that the transactions of the Bank were to be viewed only as concerns between the Directors and Proprietors. He could assure him, however, that the Directors thought very differ ently on the subject. The proceedings of the Bank were of the utmost importance in a national point of view, as by them the currency of the kingdom was in a great degree regulated. This was a point which he was anxious to impress on the minds' of the Proprietors, because when it was duly weighed, it would show the importance of the question whether the whole affairs of the Company ought to be made public. As to the date 011 which the Hon. Proprietor had gone, he would only observe, that his obseryations showed that he did not know much of the Bank of England. The Bank was to be viewed in a political point of view, and the influence of its operations on the currency of the country ought to be considered before its present mode of proceed- ing was arraigned. The Hon. Proprietor complained of over issues; but was he aware that such issues could be refused ? Could the Bank refuse to ad vance money, except on deposits of bullion only ? The lion. Proprietor did not seem to be aware that the Bank must act on what appeared to be the state of the currency of the country, and how it might be affected by the state of the currency of other countries. With respect to the convertibility 'or incontrovertibility of the securities iii possession 'of the Bank, the Hon. Proprietor could - not be aware howr w r a n : p t u fi t ey i were s e e o b n a v i 0 7 ) t o i I f ) 1 infrtmh e a t o a n r , k i e v t i i unless ich was at present. withheld, and which, in his opinion, the Court ought to be extremely cautious in laying in detail before the public. The interest of the public was vitally concerned in the proceedings of the B an k. He did not say that on this ground all in formation on its affitirs must be Withhold; b u t he thinkmust t toon touch i !t the cautioncould n) disclosure not b of them hemt othe publie.exercised. He would now only add, that the Directors were the and great importance e i mgrpeoarttatt respon.ee e I t u l isiboeei trust l f y b r T e s t ops e re x eds g e riecndi exertions s t e h ; ei it t n a i o n , ti discharge ttey ‘we r i e t disposed is t p h o a s t ed to man ner which, in their best judgMent, would tend most to the interest of the Proprietors and of the com munity at large. A Proprietor (Mr. FlLAcultintml, we understood) said that he had not taken any part in thediseussion of this question hitherto, except to hold up his hand against a similar motley); for he was of opinion that the Directors were not bound to lay before the Court details as to the general affairs of the Bank, of which undue advantage might be taken by per sons whose interests might be opposed to those of the Bank. He was the more strongly impressed with this opinion, when he saw the interest taken by some London and some country bankers in support of motions similar to the present. He thought, therefore, it .would be better to leave. this matter to the discretion of the Directors; at the same time he must say, that he could wish to see some questions answered differently from what they had been. He should like to know from whence the dividends pro ceeded ; for if they were from surplus profits, then the recent Proprietors were receiving profits which had belonged to former Stockholders. He looked upon the Bank as a trading company, flint when he heard it spoken of as a political body, dealing with the Ministers of the country, he must say that be rptioshu,roobauulliagdet:o!bnltitil t y t oi ‘ n u i v e d a d o s so , h g . mo t o l ie t i t t l i t:t p g o l i t ii b e kn e te t y s v o o l t i l d l d t n h o e t i r ts f,a i sift limits... see ts. a de- tail of the proceedings and affairs of the Bank made t t ° ha h n av h e ad a be l e it n ti g e it n, e ' r o tT for instance, he should like to know the amount of the pelf yearly profits. A Proprietor objected to the amendment lin point of form. He obseried that it was in feet a sub• stantive motion,' and should be so put, and not as an amendment. Mr. WINTER Said that the observations of the Proprietor who spoke last but one induced him to over a few WOW S in support of the amendment. Without desiring that the general account* of the Company should be laid before the Court, he did think that the introduction of sort►e accounts which would give information as to the real state of the Company's affairs would be highly expedient. It appeared to him from the questions put, that it would be extremely desirable that some sort of an account should from time to time be laid before the Proprietors, that they might know something of the actual ►tote of their affairs. It was objected to this that it would be extremely dangerous to tamper with that upon which public credit binged. Undoubtedly:' it .would ; but there was it breed ditininetiOn betwesn exposing the whole affairs of the Bank and the sup-, TrE 7n. preption of any kind of information which the Pro ! prietors desired to obtain respecting theni. After such a lengthened existence asan important chartered company, they could not now be )aid.to be in that condition in which, to use the words of the old adage, they lived magi: firma quant vi. , On the contrary, be was sure' that they were now in that prosperous condition, when, so fur from . being weakened, they must rather gain additional strength by a' publication of the actual stat e of their unirs. Ile did not say that there : ought or ought not to be a connexion between the Bank and the GoVernment, but he was now the less anxious on this point, as, by the Act the 59th George ' 111. every transaction between the Bank and Government was to be laid before Parlia ment; so that he felt no jealousy on that. point. But thete was another point to which the Proprietors ought to look with no slight caution. By the Act of NVilliam and Mary, if any dividend should be made by the Proprietors ,beyond the profits —or, in other words, rstit of the capital—of the Bunk, thin every Proprietor was personally, or in his property, liable to make good the amount so divided. `lt be hoved them, therefore, to get some account of the state of their profits before they gave their sanction to a dividend, which, without some . atich account, might, for aught they knew, be not of profits, but out of capital. Another matter which deserved at tention was the practice of granting bonuses from time to time. In the grant of those bonuses the persons who have a life interest only in Bank , stock were injured. He knew the character of the Direc.; tors placed them above suspicion as to any unfair management as to the mode of granting bonuses; but how did such declaratio ns of bonuses operate The holder of stock was Ignorant Of them until they were declared, and he might part with his stock to day, which would be increased 25 per cent. in value to-morrow. But if a Bank Proprietor had that knowledge of his own Oldie which every partner in a company ought to have, he would at all times know its real value. The Hon. Proprietor then entered into a calculation as to the income, expen diture, and profits of the Bank. To this effect : ••. t 4 per cent. on capital C14,608,500 is X 1,168,680 Expense. S180,004) Annual payment A1,446,680 SOURCES OF INCOME. 3 per cent on 14,808,5(X11. capital £438,t1.55 Allowance of Management 260,000 Proportion of dead weight annuity appli cable to dividend 300,000 Interest on 2,500,0001. mortgage, 4 per cent ICS,OOi) Interest on Exchequer and deficiency bills, say 10,000,00, 300,000 Discounts llO,OOO interest on sundry other advances ;AA() Excess of annual income over dividend and cx penses I ,M 13,255 X 54,570 This account relieved him from the difficulty of the mover of the amendment as to the source from Whence the dividend was to be derived. He was quite clear as to the income; but the question was, whether they were not ins condition to give a large bonus. The Hon. Proprietor then entered into the following calculation to i•how the amount of surplus or profit capital Charter Capital Bullion 18,000,0G0 Value of dead weight annuities Mortgages f 4504,000 Exchequer and deficiency bills lOOOllOO Bills of Exchequer and other property as effivts 4,011 0 0e00 103,104,500 Notes in circulation in February but 00,468,0titi., but say 1if1,106,500 Deduct Charter Capital 14,00H.51,0 Profit Capital ..V.11.500,000 which would surely justify a bonus of 20 per cent. in mob, by a sale eta proportion of the dead weight annuity, or by a transfer of such a proportion of that annuity . to each Proprietor as would be equivalent to 20 per cent. on. his capital. 20 per cent. on the 14,608,500/. would only amount to 2,080,60 W.; but if that should be considered too much, say : 10 per cent, which would leave an annual income more than adequate to the 8 per cent. dividend. With this statement, how could they account for Dank stock, compared with other stock, being at a dis count of 22 to 24 per cent, compared with Govern. meat stock, which might be obtained for the same money. For instance, the sale of dividend or annuity of 8 per cent. would produce 2404 in the Three per Cents., while the, sale of the same in Bank stack would produce only 2181. The flourishing picture which the Hon. Proprietor thus drew as to the amount of surplus or profit capital, and the . proposal of a bonus of from 12 to 20 per cent., seemed ; to excite a general smile in the Court. In conclusion, he again insisted on the necessity of having some tic mint laid before the Proprietors as to the acted state of their affairs. We ought in this respect imitate the example of the Dank of France, which regularly laid an account' of the state of its affairs before the Proprietors. The GovEallon said, that while he gave credit to the ability of the Hon. pioprietor who last ad dressed the Court, he should be very unwilling that they should go away with the impression, or that it should get abroad, that there existed such a capital as that Hon. Gentlemen bad described. The filet was, a great part of his statement was founded bn erroneous data. As to the dividend, it was to be made out of the profits of the Bank, and the Direc tors did not, he thought, ask too much in claiming from the Proprietors the confidence that they would not throw on them a responsibility bt making a di vidend out of capital, --a responsibility which, by the by, they must share eren more heavily them selves. As to the comparative Vail of Bank Stock with a similar annuity in Govermnent se curities the Court must be a w a re th at t h e Batik was only chartered for twenty-ana years, a grafit portion of which - lied expired, and it, could not be expected that its stock should bear the time value as the permanent security of the Government. Mr. YOUNG here expressed his willingness to have his motion put as n generate motion after the other should hart been decided. A Proprietor wished to know why it was that per cent. was declared 'at one time and ID at an other, and observed that unless some account were laid- before the Proprietors as to the stale of their affairs, there Wight as well be no r3uarterly court at all. For what wus the use of calling them together to consider of a dividend, when in fact they were utterly ignorant of what was the amount of *lit! on which a dividend Should be made? Mr. Rine Contended, that justice to the Propri etors demanded that they should be put in posses. shin of some statement of their affairs. If any thing were wanted to point still stronger thelm. policy of the course pursued by the Directors, it would be found in the manner in which s gentleman Of . the talent and ability of the lion. Chairman bud been obliged to evade the questions which were put to him. The Ptc)prietors WON met thereby Act of Parliamentio declare a dividend on the amount of profits for the hull-year. Let the officer of the Court read the Nth bytt.law, end it would he seen, that they were empowered to make the dividend' according to the amount of 'the profits, and in pro. imrtion to their respective shares. But dui not this ply that they were to be informed as to th e amount of the profits ? Yet, notwithstanding this authority of the Legislature! in their favour, the Proprietors were now refused information as to What: was the amount of their profits, - or any thing :else touching their rants. This refusai was et i y , an d, w ithout meaning any personal disrespect, he would say, craftily, 4140 Directors themselves under the decisions of former Courts 0(1 ould be used to - mislead .the public ; that if the operati ons o f the Bank had - been fairly conducted,. their publication Must. add, to the credit of that establishment, while intrust' and siir picion must always' attach AMY rieceititifili tend to weaken the credit of any concern'where ilecresy and myster), veiled 'its common transitions' iven from the majority of its own ProprietOre;'aothlalt men of honour, conducting their own busines s , ought to be Al way s ready to produce their accounts at s' vouchers ro r their transactions in business. He also contended that the Government had the esiiitel"of the Company on terms much too low, and tbit the Proprietors had all the responsibility as to tileidends made from capital, without having a corresponding proqr. The - clerk, at the request of Mr. Rigby, hare read the I,2th bye-law, which the Hon. Gentleman contended was violatsd by the reflux, to produce the accounts, at least, of the profits on which the' iiidends ware to be made. The GOVERNOR said,' that after what had Cahn from the last speaker, he felt it neees.erY to remind the Court that it did not re s t w i t h the Directors to produce or withhold the account.: They were only the serv a nt s o f , the Proprietors, and if they (the Proprietors) thought it necessary that the accounts .houid be produced, the Directors would produce them. _ . • •,••,, The original motion, was then put and :carried, with only one hand bald 'Up against it. , Mr. Yo usto.'s motion,' beginning at Atiosii<w4trds— " that' prtsvinine to tftt propoial oriini Nora divi &c., waS then about to be Pitt, when Mr. YottNa again addressed ,the 'Court, .aud reru pitulntt d tnost of his former arguments in itipitort of it. Ile observed that it ,was true it rested with the Court of Proprietors to determine' ,whether he formation should be given or 144, but the dir ectory ought not to shift the responsibility from themselves, for it was by their advice the Cattrt.af !Pr9Prieto's acted in this instance. Let the DirS.ctors but say the word, and the Proprietors would ts%sent to the production of all the inforinotion. ' Let the birt c. tors then bear the blame of tho refusal, fur it was theirs. It was said that 'the data of the Hon. Pro prietor (Mr. Winter) were erroneous: let the truth be told—let accurate accounts 'be produced, and there would at once be un paid of all twgerution on the subject. Again, he repeated, that if they re fused this information at present, they would be obliged to krant it under cucumstances much less favourable than the present. The GOVERNOU, la putting the question, observed that it was one of the, utmost importance, and re quired the most /serious consideration of the Pro• priet ors. It wus then put to A, show of bands, and pep lived by n consideruble majority. The show of bands held up in support of it wus, however, very respectable. The Court then adjourned. BANK OF ENGLAND MEETING. (Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.) Mr. YOUNG—Then with respect to the 28,00030001. advanced or invested in inconvertible property, there were 1300,0004 and upwards advanced upon the dead weight, was it not so ? The GOVERNOR repeated, that after the decisions of the former Courts he was nor at liberty togive the lion. Proprietor any other answer. It would he for the Court to decide what information should be given as to the affairs of the Bank. The matter did not rest with him. Mr. YOUNG did not want at , present the sort of accounts he had before moved for, he only wanted i:fin answer to the questions he had put. If the Di rectors refused to give him the correct information be required, he must only assume the best data he was able from what information he did possess. It was not necessary for him to point out the itipirious tendency which this absence of correct detail must have on the purchasers of Bank Stock, end on the public generally, as it was clear that at present per sons who dealt in that stock laid out their money at a risk, to which they would not be exposed if they had access to more correct information. For their own sakes, then, and for the sake of the public, he called on the Proprietors to obtain this informa tion ; for they might be assured, that if it were refused now, the time would come when it must be granted. The question would be raised when they came to that of the renewal of the charter. — He wished, therefore, to caution them in_. time;, for at the renewal of the charter it was more` thanprobahle that a clause would be introduced, requiring that all the accounts .of the Bank, as to its profits and assets, should be made public at stated intervals. He regretted extremely that this Company should have gone out of its ori ginal design, and become private bankers, thus in terfering with the business of a moat respectable body, without any benefit to the public Which it might not equally well derive fiom other sources. He had already alluded to issues of the Busk. The issue 'or bank-notes he would take to be as follows: —28,000,0001, in positive unconvertible invest- COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL, The Lotto Nttyou took the Chair, as usual , at twelve o'clock.
