LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (Before Sir W. Page Wood, at the Town Hall, Cam- bri(lge.) THE SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE HON. R. H. CLIVE AND OTHERS. This important case, which had been adjourned at the request of the defendants from the 24th ult., came on yesterday at Cambridge, before Vice - Chancellor W. P. Wood. The Solicitor-General, on the part of the plaintiffs, stated that his motion was an application by the Shrews bury and Birmingham Railway Company, against several gentlemen who were at present directors of that com pany, and one or two other persons who were mixed up by having ;acted in concert, and having used the pro perty of the company at the instance of those directors against whom the principal application was made, that they might be restrained, by the order and injunction of the Court, from dealing with the property or effects of the company, from administering their affairs, or otherwise acting as the plaintiffs' directors. The Shrews bury and Birmingham Railway commenced at Shrews bury, where it communicated with the Shrews bury and Chester Railway, and, running down to Wolverhampton, it there communicated with the Stour Valley line. There had long been a contest be tween the two great companies, the North-Western and the Great Western, for possession of the ascendancy over that line. The contention between those rival companies had led to the creation of parties amongst the Shrews bury and Birmingham directors, one of which was, no doubt, in the interest of the North-Western, and another of which was entirely devoted to the benefit of the Great Western, whilst the body of shareholders, who looked to promote the interests of the line itself, had their pro perty sacrificed by reason of the contentions of those two parties. It had long been the desire of the great majority of the directors to unite the company with the Great 'Western, which had led to the entrance into con tracts with that company, which could not be carried into effect on account of their illegality. The course pursued by the directors, however, was not sanctioned by the shareholders ; and it would be found that np to the Bth of May, 1851, the majority of the shareholders were averse to the operations adopted by the directors. Finding themselves, then, not only not supported, but their views contradicted by the shareholders, they resolved, by any means, to obtain a majority amongst the constituent body. or that purpose they convensid hic an h extraordinary m ee ti ng upon t h e B t h M a y, 1851, at they determi ne d to alter or resc i n d resolutions which w had been pa.ssed at certain meetings of the pr'aprietors on the 12th February and 4th April, 1851. Great ef forts were made to secure a majority at t h at meeting, and, con trary to the result of all former meetings, the proposi t i on o f t h e di rec t o rs was carried, and an amend ment 'moved by the shareholders was ne gatived. This was followed by future successes of the directors, and the shareholders were quite unable to ascertain the nvsans by which the majorities had been gained. At ).eiagth, upon the 22d July, 1853, the circumstances came to light by mere accident. Upon that occasion Mr. Robinson, a solicitor, and shareholder in the company, being at the plaintiffs' office in Wolverhampton, ob tained possession of the transfer book, in which he found transfers of shares effected about the month if May, 1851, numbered from 905 to 1,787, all inclusive. Mr. Robinson suspected that in ten of these cases the signa tures of the persons named as purchasers or referees were not in their handwriting, but were forgeries. Mr. Robinson then put his initials against each of the ten transfers a and he served the secretary with a notice to take the book into his custody, in order that no abstrac tion, erasure, or interpolation of these transfers should occur. In consequeace of this and other proceedings, the book was locked up in a safe, of which it was alleged that Mr. Knox, formerly secretary and illegally elected a director of the company, possessed a duplicate key. Shortly afterwards Mr. Geach, a director of the com pany, applied to inspect the transfer book. A good many obstacles were thrown in the way by Mr. Knox, 'yr horn he might denominate the managing director, but 'eventually Mr. Geach obtained possession of it, when he found that a whole page of the transfers had been abstracted, including five of those against which Mr. Robinson had set his initials. Under these circumstances Mr. Geach took possession of the transfer book, as well as of a later transfer book, also supposed to contain for geries, and left them at the residence of the chairman of the company. In consequence of these proceedings, a special public meeting of the shareholders took place on the 23th July, at which Mr. Scott stated the cir cumstances which had occurred, and a committee was appointed to investigate all the proceedings connected with the transfer of shares, the signature and reception of proxies, the allotment of preference shares, and the capital account generally. The result of the investiga tion by the committee was to disclose such a system of fraud as, he ventured to say, was unparalleled in the history of railway transactions. The course pursued by the directors appeared , to be this : they came into the possession of numerous shares, which were thrown into their hands partly by forfeiture and partly by other means„ They took those shares and made transfers of then; apparently for a consideration, as if the shares had been sold to individuals named for that purpose, Principally by Mr. Knox, and partly by other persons— hedividuals, many of whom were totally ignorant of the yjroceedings thus carried on in their names, and many others of whom, though aware of the proceedings, lent themselves to them for the purpose of carrying out the design of the directors. It appeared that the transfers were made by clerks in the employ of the company, and that the persons who received them were required also to execute re-transfers of the shares to the directors, so that the transfer to capacitate, and the re-transfer to in capacitate, were executed at the same time. Further, they were made at the same time to execute proxies in favour of one or more of the directors ; and in that way the large amount of shares then held by the directors were made available in the most fraudulent and false manner, for the purpose of creating a great number of fictitious votes. In one case Mr. Knox's audacity went so far that he made a boy, nine years of age, a transferee of shares, and executed the tranfer and re-tranfer for him. By this and other fraudulent means it was that the directors obtained a majority at their meeting of the Bth May, 1851. In addition to this, certain of the directors,. particularly Hill, Walker, and Emery, had assigned to themselves shares, in order to give them a proper qualification. There was also a large number of shares still belonging to the company, which were in the names of Hill, Walker, and Badger ; and with regard to those shares, therefore, and a large number of preference shares which had not yet been issued, the directors had the means of obtaining a majority at the forthcoming meeting, similar to that which they had obtained at the meeting of the Bth May, 1851. Beyond this, Knox h ad been permitted to enter into partnership with a firm with whom contracts were made prejudicial to the nt erests of the company. These were transactions of au ch a nature that he contended that no person who was implicated in them, or who had even a suspicion of them, was worthy to remain in the direction of the com pany, since they appeared to be wholly unscrupulous as to the conduct they pursued, or altogether supine and indifferent. The learned counsel then went minutely through the affidavits in support of the bill and of the preceeding statement, and read the whole of the affida vits in answer, which were extremely voluminous. They generally denied the statements made in the affidavits of the plaintiffs or where they admitted them, recrimin atory allegations were brought, and it was stated that the course pursued by the directors was simply adopted to counteract the force of a similar policy, which was pursued by the partizans of the North-Western Com pany. They admitted the practice of splitting votes, but contended that the same thing was done upon the other side, and denied that there had been any fraudu lent transfer of shares for the purpose of creating fictitious votes. They expressed a belief that it would be greatly for the benefit of the Shrewsbury and Bir mingham Company, as well as for the advantage of the public at large, that that company should be united with the Great Western, and did not deny that !I*3 defendants had exerted themselves to bring about r at end . . Mr. K nox d en i e d that he was partner in a nu which had entered into contracts with the company, and denied all knowledge of any abstractions from the transfer books , forthes the whole of which he believed would be Mr. Nielsolln, :g :1 They had been kept in the custody of the office , n-- were accessible to all the persons in The case had not terminated when the court rose. COURT o p ANKRUPTCE (Before Mr. Co r Pa ne. ) IN RR CL ARKSON. This bankrupt, of Reading, radway up to pass his last examination, suppor rractor, came Nicholls and Clark, of Cook's -court, LineouhiPi:l‘l:ll7-wsrhso. stated that the assigness were satisfied with the of the accounts, and did not object to the bantuuracy passing, as also to an allowance being made to Als Butler for preparing the accounts. • The bankrupt passed, and allowance granted as prayed. IN RE POTHECARY. The bankrupt was desbribed as a sheep salesman, o f Martin, in Wiltshire. His debts are nearly 8,000/. His lonour, having looked through the proceedings, said this appeared to be the case of a man who had gone on contracting debts, thousands upon thousands, and then at the last, when he found he could go on no longer, instead of giving up what he had to his creditors gene rally, had contrived to throw his little property into the hands of one man, to whom he had given a bill of sale. Mr. Te ague (o/Cheapside), for the bankrupt, said the transaction was not a fraudulent one, in a moral sense, though it was so in the eye of the law. The bill of sale was given for a bona fide advance. His Honour said that any man must know that he was not to pick out one man, and give him the advan tage of a bill of sale, whereby he got 20s. in the pound his debt while the o th er cre dit ors go t no thi ng .

Mr. Samuel Pot. master and part owner of the Omega, said the detenda-it sicrued articles on the 14th of May to go to Adelaide. His final port of discharge was the city of London. He sailed with us from Lon don, but deserted the ship at Adelaide, on the Ist of September, 1852. I produce the log-book which con tains a report of his desertion, and the desertion of three other seamen. Sir John Mugrove—By whom is that report signed ? Witness—By myself. Sir John Musgrove—By yourself alone ? Witness—By myself alone. Sir John Musgrove The act, I find, requires that the desertion should be certified by the captain and mate, or some other competent authority in addition to that of the captain. Witness—The mate was unwilling to sign, and the rest of the crew also showed great reluctance to certify. In fact they ss ere waiting the opportunity to desert themselves. The defendant was to receive V. 15s. per month. Sir John Musgrove—Now, if the log-book had been properly signed, the captain who has been thus cruelly treated, would not onlrj have the satisfaction of seeing the seaman sent to prison, but would have been entitled to the money, whicia I must now order, lam sorry to say, to be restored to the morally guilty defendant. The defendant here wished to make some observations expressive of his unconsciousness of having committed any offence ; but Sir John. Musgrave said—l do not wish to hear a word from, you. You are discharged. BOW-STREET.—Charles Clements, potman of the George public-house, Great Queen-street, was c h arge d before Mr. Jardine with having twice set fire to his employer's house. Mr. C. S. Large, the landlord, stated that about half-past three o'clock in the morning of August 23, he, was aroused from his bed by an alarm of fire. He found the house full of smoke, and on going down stairs saw the inside of the parlour in flames. Assistance was speedily procured and the fire was put out, it having been confined to the room. The prisoner was at the top of the house at the time, and helped to give the alarm, but he did not leave his room. On a subsequent examination of the room, in company with a police-officer, he saw a quantity of paper forced into a hole in the wainscoating, in such a manner as to excite suspicion that it was intended to be fired, especially as it was part of a daily newspaper of recent rate. The parlour was consequently watched for r a day or two, but on the 25th, during the temporary absence of witness, some one had set fire to the paper, and a portion of the wall was burnt out. Witness ascer tained that the prisoner had been into the room during the interim, without having any business there, and this fact coupled with other suspicious circumstances in duced him to have the man taken into custody. Inspector Mitchell stated that there had been four fires in the same house and the one adjoining it since the prisoner had been at Mr. .Large's, and he had ascer tained that there had been fires likewise at the houses where the prisoner had been previously employed as pot-boy. He bad been heard to complain of the illibe rality of the insurance companies on one of those occa sions for not giving hi m some compensation or reward for assisting in putting out the flames, as had been done in previous instances. Edward Hooper, a lodger in the prosecutor's house, who said he was nearly suffocated by the smoke on the morning of the fire, deposed that the prisoner raised one of the upper windows and called " Police," when the alarm was given. Emily Thompson, prosecutor's sister-in-law, saw the prisoner go into the parlour a short time before the second fire on the 25th ult. He had no business there, and others might have walked in besides him. Ellen Gardener, cook, said that she had some con versation with the prisoner upon the subject. She ob served that it was a fortunate thing that Mrs. Large (the landlady) and the children were away when the fire broke out. He replied, " Perhaps it would never have happened then. Men often send their families away at such times." Witness made no remark, but she con sidered it a very unjust reflection upon the character of their master. After this, on another day, the prisoner said he thought it was very odd that the insurance office people did not come and make inquiries, and give com pensation to those who had caused the fire to be put out. He also stated that if he had known there was going to be so much fuss about he would not have given the alarm. Mr. Bouter, landlord of the Bell, Leicester-street, Lei cester-square, stated that the prisoner was formerly in his service as pot-boy. On the 10th of March, 1851, a fire occurred at his house, and the insurance office awarded compensation to the servants for the loss of their clothes. The prisoner received a share of the money, and witness gave him an additional 51., as he had represented his loss at greatly beyond the amount allowed by the office, which was a fourth of 101. Witness had no means of knowing what was actually destroyed, as the prisoner's room was burnt quite out. On the 6th of February, 1852, another fire occurred in the house, and while all the inmates were escaping through the roof, the prisoner was seen up another ladder, in a place of safety. Wit ness went into the prisoner's room directly afterwards, and found his box entirely empty. Still he had no sus picion that the prisoner had had anything to do with the fire ; but when he claimed compensation for the de struction of his things, witness refused to allow him , anything. Some time after this a bracket lamp up stairs was discovered to have been forcibly turned against the wall, and it must have been done by a servant in the house. Witness did not dismiss the prisoner from any suspicions of this sort, but for using abusive language to his (witness's) mother. Shortly after the second fire he told one of witness's other servants that he did not get so much by it as he did by the first one. Mr. Jardine thought that although these conjectures were not legal evidence, there was suspicion enough to justify further inquiry, and therefore the prisoner must be remanded. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NORTH BRITISH. The following are the most important parts of the re port of the directors, to be presented at the half-yearly meeting on the 14th inst.:— " The revenue has fully and steadily maintained, in the last half year, the former rate of increase, being 7,138/. 3s. 81d. in excess of the corresponding period of 1852. The directors, in obedience to the wishes of the shareholders, as expressed in the resolutions come to by them at the general meeting in March last, proceeded to carry through the bill which they then reported they had given notice of and lodged. They were successful in obtaining the bill, as regards its financial clauses, practically, in the shape in which it was prepared. The object of the bill was not only to confirm the legality of the No. 1 preference stock, and the ar rears of dividend thereon, but to facilitate the raising of 330,500/. which the company had been authorised to raise by the act 1851 as a postponed five per cent. pre ference stock ; but which, except to a small extent, it had not been found practicable to issue, and conse quently, to pay off the obligations come under by former directors to banks, the purpose for which the second preference stock had been created. By the pre sent bill the company is authorised, in lieu of the second preference stock, to raise 150,3001. by debenture, and 180,200 by a preference stock, at a rate of dividend not exceeding 5 per cent., to rank in all respects, alike as re gards dividend and arrears of dividend (excepting always that the 21 per cent. of arrears resting on the 6 per cent. dividend for the half-year ending 31st July, 1852, is to be paid preferably to all other dividends), paripassu with the 51. guaranteed shares. It is now for the shareholdersto de termine, in accordance with the powers conferred on them by the statute, what should be the amount of the new shares, and by what.instalments or calls, and at what periods, and in what manner, and subject to what terms and conditions, such shares are to be issued. The directors have given this subject much and anxious consideration, and they have formed a distinct opinion that the new shares should be issued to bear a 5 per cent dividend, and in a mode and on terms otherwise to place them, in as far as possible, on a level with the existing 51. guaranteed shares, so that from and after the 10th of April, 1854, when the 6 per cent. dividend cease on the 51. guaranteed shares, the new shares shall be in all respects on an equality with them, and the 600,0001. and 180,0001. practically form one stock. The directors recommend that the new shares should be left to be disposed of by them for the benefit of the company at the times and in the manner which, in their judgment, may appear best calculated to promote that benefit to the largest extent. They feel satisfied that in this way they will not only best maintain the credit of the com pany, but will obtain a premium amply sufficient to meet the sum necessary to enable them to pay off, as they now propose to do, upon the credit of that pre mium, the arrears of 21 per cent. due on the Si. guaran teed shares as at July 31, 1852. The directors having found that considerable diversity of opinion existed as to whether the arrear of dividend arising in the half-year ending July 31, 1852, and which in terms of the act just passed must be paid out of the first free revenue of the past half-year, should be paid to the present holders of the stock or to those who held the stock at the date when the arrear occurred, laid a case before counsel, who have advised that steps should be taken by means of an amicable suit to obtain a judicial decision on the point. The direc tors would therefore recommend that they be authorised to pay such portion of the arrear as appertains to the stock which is still in the possession of the parties who were the registered proprietors of it at 2d Sept., 1852, when the books were closed for the dividend on which the arrear occurred, and that the balance, applicable to stock which has been transferred since that date, be con signed in bank to await the result of such suit, should the parties interested fail to come to such extrajudicial arrangement themselves as shall enable the directors safely to pay. Claims have been preferred, on behalf of the committees of the 5/. guaranteed shareholders in Edinburgh and London, to be relieved of costs incurred by them in, as these committees consider, promoting and largely aiding the carrying of the act which has lately passed. The directors have always declined to come under any pledge in regard to these expenses, and now refer the claim to the shareholders. The revenue of the half-year, with the balance of 4,1531. 5s s}d. from the former period, after deducting working expen diture, interest on bank and contractors' debts and de bentures, leaves a free revenue 19,5941. 10s. 64d. This would afford a division of 6 per cent. on the existing 51. guaranteed shares, and leave a balance of 1,794/. 35. 61d. ; but the arrears at 31st July, 1852, are by the late sta tute made preferable to all dividends ; and so the ac count falls to be stated thus : Balance from last account £4,153 5 5f For revenue this half-year 15,441 5 li FROM TEE LONDON b.A TTE Y ESTER DA Y.

The General Board of Health, in their Second Report on Quarantine, state that, from a consideration of the whole of the evidence before them respecting yellow fever, they arrived at the following conclusions :- 1. That yellow fever epidemics break out simul taneously in different and distant towns, and in different and distant parts of the same town, often under circum stances in which communication with infected persons is impossible. 2. That yellow fever epidemics are usually preceded by the occurrence of individual or sporadic cases of the disease, which sporadic cases are likewise common in seasons when no epidemic prevails. 3. That yellow fever epidemics, though occasionally extending over large tracts of country, are more fre quently limited as to the space over which they spread, often not involving the whole of a town, and sometimes not even any considerable district of it. 4. That yellow fever epidemics do not spread from district to district by any rule of gradual progression, but often ravage certain localities, while they spare en tirely, or visit very lightly, others in the immediate neighbourhood, with which the inhabitants are in con stant intercommunication. 5. That yellow fever epidemics, when they invade a district, do not spread from the houses first infected to the next, and thence to the adjoining, and thus extend as from a centre ; but, on the contrary, are often strictly confined to particular houses in a street, to particular houses on one side of a street, to particular rooms in the same house, and often even to particular rooms on the same story. 6. That in general, when yellow fever breaks out in a family, only one or two individuals are attacked ; com monly the attendants on the sick escape; and when seve ral members of a family are successively attacked, or the attendants on the sick suffer, either the epidemic was general in the locality, or the individuals attacked had gone into an infected district. 7. That when yellow fever is prevalent in a loeality, the most rigid seclusion in that locality affords no pro tection from the disease. 8. That, on the other hand, so great is the success at tending the removal from an infected locality, and the dispersion of the sick in a healthy district, that by this measure alone the further progress of an epidemic is often arrested at once. 9. That such dispersion of the sick is followed by no transmission of the disease, not even when the sick are placed in the wards of a hospital among patients labour ing under other maladies. 10. That no one of the preceeding facts can be recon ciled with any other conclusion than that, whatever may be the exciting cause of yellow fever, it is local or endemic in its origin, and the evidence of this conclu sion is therefore cumulative. 11. That the conditions which influence the localiza tion of yellow fever are known, definite, and, to a great extent, re mova bl e ; and are substantially the same as the localizing causes of cholera and of all other epidemic diseases. 12. . That, as in the case of all other epidemic diseases, in proportion as these localizing causes are removed or 13.

FLOGGING IN THE AR3ll7.—Yesterdu a return to the House of Commons was printed on corporal punish ments in the army for the last five years.

Dr. Emer ton, is fully sustaining the high character it has ac quired as a Military Institution. Nor is it merely in the military department that the method of instruction has proved efficacious—we find that former pupils of Hanwell College have been high wranglers or first-class men of our nniversities,during the present year.—United Service Gazette. _ _ __ .... MADAME DE BOCARME.—The Civil Tribunal of Tour nay gave judgment on the 23d, in a case in which the family of the late M. de Bocarme were the applicants, and Mme. de Bocarme„ his widow, the respondent. After the murder of her brother and the execution of her husband, Mme. de Bocarme, succeeded to the pro perty of the former, and became the guardian of the two children, who were the issue of her marriage with her deceased husband. It was soon apparent to the Bocarmd family that at the prodigal manner in which she was living, she must soon become to the end not only of her own property, but of that of the children. In consequence, an application was made to the Court of Tournay to prevent her pursuing a course which would inevitably end in the ruin of the children. The utilityo ~A.nfno snore e property thisot hpa than nr s t u ys m , counselof the respondent admitted that Mme. de Bocarm6 had, during the year after her husband's death, expended about 17,000 fr. ; but it was proved by the other side that, in addition, she had spent without necessity or as the lawshewo oho did i 7. 1 : 9p, shesro whilst Oa sold n . , uh annum. ro c . accruing c u Tst i u n he a g ep l t the ce f po r mr o uo m brpeir ttay2 taking a o gsl c Bie into s e l t d o2 ot s . persons of such individuals consideration the facts brought before it, decided, that strength of mind to imposedwt the duty on the legal authorities of h Bocarme was for the f ccarefully over the property and the country to as did not possess sufficient watch over themselves, Mine. de money, to be interdicted from plead ins; borrowing effecting mortgage, or giving of? concurrrence and consent of of M.
