INDIA-11013SE. Yesterday a General Court of Proprietors was lief 1 at . the India-House, for the purpose of taking into consideration two motions ; notice of which had been previously submitted to the Court.— One by llr. RANQLE JACKSON, embtaaingstwo re solutions : Ist, That no Proprieter should sit or vote in a Committee, who was, not qualified to vote oiaballot in a General Court . ; and 2dly, That na Proprietor should take a share in the debates a'. 2 :Inv General Court,. who was not 'qualified to eofs ir ballot. in the same. The other notice was • lIUME, that a bye-law should be enacted, . ng . the presence of sixty-four Proprietors ! ie.• eessire to sanction any grant or money, either in the'shTane of Compensation for losses sustained, or remenet . titionfor . serviees performed.—The mi putes of the last General Court having been read, Mr.'fi. JactasoN addressed the Court at -canal - &rabic length, and proceeded to state, that the practice of unqualified Proprietors interfering in the debates of that Court, though formerly per niito;d 4s a matter of courtesy, had . been latterly claimed as a right. , The law, however, on the subject was dear, that none should interfere in the debates of the Court, or, in the words of the Charter, ." should inteameddle in the administra s 1:on ot . the affairs of India," who was not also en titled to vote' respecting the same ; and the c our t, should . it deem expedient, had an lode fea,ible right to enact such - h Bye-late. The Learned Gentleman proceeded to corroborate his position, by taking an h:storical review of the powers and privileges of the Company, from the time of Elizarseth down to. the Charter of 1793. By that Charter all the fOrmer grants .to . the Company bad been corfismed - , and whatever might appear dotahttal was to be interpreted in the sense' most f a vourable to the Company. By the 6th of and Mary, every one who took any' share in discussing the .affairs of the CoMpany was obliged, if called upon by a qualified proprie tor, to take an oath, that he was duly qualified to take a share in such discussion ; such was still the law, amid' the person who reinsed to take such an oath, could not be admitted, in any capacity, into any Court where the affairs of the Company were to be discussed. By . the Act of the 10th 'of William 111. the qualification entit4g to vote in General Court, was reduced from, 1,000/. to 500!. which Act was the substratum of all the rights possessed by the Company. In the 7th year of his present Majesty an Act was passed to prevent. collusive transfers of Judia Stock for -temporary purposes ; by which it was enacted, that every proprietor must have held . his stack for 6 months, in order to entitle him to a-vote. A subsequent" Act went the length not only of making all cols lusive transfers of stock void, but also imposed a penalty of 1,000/. should the property be transfered by the temporary holder. His object was to prevent strangers from disposing of the pro peril of the Company to an immense amount, as by the Act just alluded to, 1,0001. was made requi site to constitute a qualification, which must also he held for twelve months. A bye-law s indeed, had been, afterwards passed, making 5001. sufii cient for a qualification ; but that was at a time when commercial objects were lost in political ones ; and the India s house had become the theatre of the most important debates. About the year 1779, unqualified proprietors began to be admit ted into the Courts at the India-house, but were not permitted to vote. By the regulation he pro posed to introduce, it might be said that valuable men would be excluded from their Courts, but all. general laws were productive of partial incon venience, and a line of distinction must be drawn somewhere. Should - any doubts be entertained as to the competency of the Court to make the proposed enactments, legal advice might be taken. The Learned Gentleman concluded by moving his two Resolations; Ist, That no Proprietor should sit or vote in'a Committee, who was not qualified to vote in a General Court and 2d, That an additiOn should be made to the sth sec tion of the bye-laws, enacting, that no Proprietor should take a share of the debates of a General Court, who was not qualified to vote' in the same. The CUAIILMAN ens. R. Thornton) informed the Worthy Proprietor, that his suggestion with respect to taking the opinion cif Counsel had been aaticipated ; and that the opinions of the Attors ney and Solicitor General, anti of Mr. Adam, bad been taken by the Court of Directors. The opinionfi were then read, and were in sub - sfanee, that any bye-law vit'n respect to the qua lification necessary to sit on a committee would be valid, inasmuch as a conniiittee was cre ated. by the Company, and nothing was said respecting it in the Charter. With regard to the second resolution, though by the 13th of the King, 1000/".. was necessary to constitute a quali fication to vote in a general court, nothing was enacted to exclude proprietors to a less amount from attending and discussing questions in the sane ; no bye4aw,.. therefore, regarding them would be valid, unless passed with their own con sent, which was not,proposed to be done by the resolution in question. y. Mr. It. JACKSON thought, that though from this opinion the holder . of 5001. in India Stock saas entitled to attend and speak in the General Courts, yet the Stock must be held as described in the Act of King William.' It could never be meant that the holder (115001.- stock should be entitled to participate in any discussion. The question might be put pro,fos • mu upon the first re solution, and might be confirmed by another Court. • Mr. PLUMNER moved, that a Resolution passed in 1787 should be read, - signed aloe with others, by Mr. Jackson, who, he stated, was not then qualified. Mr. JacxsoN was disposed to admit that he might have signed some resolutions, .wheu not qualified, through inadvertency or mistake: Mr. PLI/MMER contended, that the honourable proprietor had signed his name,, svhen he must have been aware his, was not qualified,;,,and, in so doing, bad invalidated nli the proceedings that had then taken place. With respect to the second re solution of the learned Gentleman, he must nnajn tain, that the description of proprietoraalltided to, could not be excluded even by, a vote enjoinirve them to stithdraw ; but still would hasea right to remain. He was sorry that his learned friend, who had deserved so well of the India Company, should have attempted, by one sweeping Woke, to exclude six or 'seven hundred G e ntleMen.from their Courts. The privilege:attempted to be taken away was not derived from ctistom or cont. : , test', but was a legal right long ,and uniformly recognized. The only question befOre the. Court resPected'the formation or a Committee ; and the practice hitherto adopted of clinging it from dif ferent descriptions of proprietors, was the best adapted, in order to form au accurate opinion, which• Opinion, however, was not binding upon the Court. He thought that any limitation as to the appointment. of 4 Committee - should rather spring from the eircu4stances of the particular case, than be laid down as a general principle.— The Honourable Proprietor concluded, by mov ing, as an amendment, that the further considera tion of the resolution be - adjourned-sine die. A long desultory conversation ensued, on the part of Mr. Dixon, Mr. Elphinstone, Mr. lime, Mr. T , .vining, Mr. Whalley, 'Mr.•Paterson, Mr. liosanquet, and Mr. Atkins, when Mr. Plummer limited his amendment to the resolution respect-. .ing the formation- of a Committee. A division took . place,. when the numbers were— For the Adjournment sine die.. . .:33 • Against it With respect to Mr. Hume's intended motion, that the presence of sixty-four Proprieters should be declared necessary to sanction any grant of money, the CHAIIIMAN stated to the- Court, that the Law-,Officers abovealluded to had given it as their opinion, that the Court had no power to enact any such bve ; law • and that no such bye law, if enacted, would be valid.—Adjourned.. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF* CHANCERY, INIARcu 23. SEQUESMATIONS. LGVELL V. THEIR ROYAL SIGHNESSES THE DUKES YORX AND CLARENCE. Mr. ROUPRI.L. this .clay, being the -last and fourth seal utter Hilary Terni,-Innyed the Court for an 'o:•tler of, Sequestration ,against,. the aoyal defendants, for their not 'answering the plaintes Bill. The like application was to be rakde by in- . structions to the Learned Counsel against his Royal Highness the kirince Regent, but aban doned, on perceiving that by virtue of the Re gency Act his'Royal Highness the Prince Re gent, was clothed or privileged from such process equally with the King. The circumstances of the case were as follows : Above ten years ago, a 'Frenchman named Le Coomb, obtained permission of his Royal'High ness the Prince of Wales to negociate or raise money to the extent of 100,000/. as agent, by means of hondS of 10.01. each, to be guaranteed by the joint bond of their three Royal Highnesses; lodged in the hank of Messrs. HaMmersley. and Co. in Pall-Mall. Several - Minor sums were raised by this pretended agent from various persons, and from the plaintiff in particular, as the bill alleged upon some of the lesser bills or bonds by him pass ed in such agency, all which he cunningly con verted-to his own use, without any consideration of the Prince. Not content with such practices in England, this agent went to Faris, and was negboiating there also, until arrested and put to death by the Revolutionary Tribunal, after which the security bond was taken from the Bankers, by desire of the Prince.. The ten years limited for payment of the, ori ginal bond of 100,0001. having now elapsed , the plaintiff filed. his bill, and on this anytion obtained the sequestration prayed fin. against their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York .and Clarence. , Mr. BELL afterwards obtained three weeks tune to answer the-bill. THOMAS V. JACKSON. Mr. WiNtorlEno moved for a sup - ersedeas of the writ of prohibition which had issued in this case. It was an action of debt brought in the Court of the Mayor and Aldermen of the city of London, commonly 'called, the Lord Mayor's Court, in which an attachment had issued, on which the defendant, without either putting in bail Or plead ing to the jurisdiction, had applied to the Cur sitor of this Court for the city of London, and had obtained a - Writ of prohibition against the plaintiff from proceeding in his action in the Mayor's Court, on an affidavit, in Which be swore that the cause of action did not arise within the jurisdiction of the Court of the Lord Mayor of London, fitt.in Woolwich in the county of Kent. Mr. Wingfielenow moved to have the prohibition superseded on an affidavit by a Mr. Jones, an at torney, practising in the Mayor's Court, that the prohibition had improperly issued, in respect the defendant had neither appeared and put in hail to the' attachment, nor had made a tender of - a fo reign plea,. one or other of which things lie was bound to have done, before be could apply for a writ of prohibition.- The Learn4C66lsel ; in support-of this doctrine, read_ an extract front Ba- Coll's Abridgment, under the title Prohibition,_ in which it is laid down that , a persm applying for, such a writ must -do so on an affidavit, in which he swears that the cause of action lay out of the jurisdiction of the Court in which die suit was brought, and that he had tendered a foreign/plea to such action, which had been rejected. This the defendant had failed to do in the present instance. The VICE-CHANCELLOR asked, had the Writ of prohibition in this case been granted by the Lord Chancellor, or was it a writ under the Great.Scal ? Mr. WINGFIELD said, the writ had surely not been granted by the, Lord Chancellor; such writs were granted almost as matters of course by the Cursiturs ; but there could he little doubt that they must be under the Great Seal. • • - The Vicz-Cnaziccuma also thought there could be no doubt that writs °rail's kind must•he under the Great Seal. The Cinsitor i could have no right of himself to grant such writs, and there fore, he presumed, they must beat to have :been issued in the name of the Lord Chancellor: H is Honour.bad no right to supersede any order made by the Lord Chancellor, which the writ of pro hibition in this case must necessarily bear to be; and; therefore, he thought the application had 'better be made to , morrow'to his Lordship.
