However, fr o far as could be seen, the matter had been arranged, and that too by the members themselves. The members had taken the proper method of working out the good of the society—that is, by themselves, under the operation of their own laws. He felt happy to think that he had no occasion to withdraw the good opinion which he had frequently expressed with regard to the working classes. In this instance they had managed their own affairs them selves, and he felt satisfied tilt no society could ever have have ifs affairs so well managed as by its own members. P e could not conclude his observations without expressing his opinion that the society was greatly indebted to Mr. Martin and Mr. Hull ft,r the exertions they had made in reference to the management of the society's affairs, for the purpose of arriving at a satisfactory adjustment of the difficulties which had arisen, and for the kind readiness with which they had consented to act as trustees. of acting thus, should be compelled to make ample repara. tion to those they have so cruelly injured. Only yester day, while on my' way from Liverpool to Birkenhead, I was accosted by Judge Grace, i❑ this way :—" So, Mack, you are going to expose our court before Harding to-mor_ row, are you ? To this I replied, `• You had better wait and see." Quoth he, " I don't care a for you or Judge Harding either; the pair of you are only fit to be and unon, and that is what I would wish to do with you." I need hardly say that he was more than half drunk. Just before concluding the above, his Honour stopped the insolvent by saying: Then you attribute the loss of the situation to being worried by the proceedings of that court ? Insolvent : I do. His Honour then said that the process of that court was perfectly legal, and what had been done by the other (Wapentake), was illegal. He truly sympathised with the insolvent, and as there was no person to oppose his discharge, he would grant his final order immediately. The court then adjourned. NORTHWICH. (BEFORE J. W. HARDEN, ESQ.) The usual monthly court was held on Tuesday last, when 121 cases were entered for trial. DEACON V. ROBINSON AND CAPPER.—The plaintiff sought to recover £3 odd from the defendants, who are flatsmen, in consequence of injury which had been done to a vessel run into, through the negligence of the defendants, who were racing, in order to secure what is called the lock turn, on the river Weaver. Judgment for the sum claimed. CHAMBERLAIN V. EGERTON.—This was an action to re cover Bs., for the loan of some wheelbarrows. The only question in dispute was, whether the 'articles had been sold or lent. Judgment for the plaintiff. EARL V. UPTON.—This action was brought to recover £4, the rent of some land. The defence was, that the money had been paid in the lifetime of the defendant's husband, but as no receipts could be produced, his Honour gave judgment for the plaintiff. IlloottE v. BENsoN.—An action to recover the sum oft`?, upon a contract, whereby the defendant was alleged to have covenanted to learn the plaintiff's daughter the art of dress. making. Mr. Cooke, of Chester, contended that the agreement being made for two years, was void under the statute of frauds, which required the amount to fall due within one year. The .Tudge, however, held that it fell due at once. Judgment accordingly. Mr. Cheshire, the assignee of the insolvent court, brought a great number of actions against persons owing money to two estates most of the claims were from 42 to 412. Some of the defendants offered to pay by 61. or Is. per week; others disputed their liability; bit the books of account being satisfactory, orders for payment were made. PLATT V. JOHNSON.—The defendant, a farmer, at Over, had authorised the plaintiff to purchase for him a quantity of growing vetches, for which he alleged having paid 43, but it subsequently appeared that 355. was the sum given ; and although plaintiff distinctlyswore to the contrary, he was contradicted by the clearest evidence. At the conclusion of the case, the Judge, addressing the plaintiff, said. " Honesty always triumphs, when rascality is detected and punished ; and, in giving judgment for the defendant, I shall order you to pay the highest scale of cos' . s in my power." PEacrvAr. v. l3t7aoEss.—The plaintiff resides at Woraley, near Manchester ; the defendant is a cow dealer, at Great Budworth. The action was brought to recover the sum of about £9, which had been paid for a cow, warranted to be sound and young, but which died within a month of long standing disease; and, moreover, the animal turned out to be fourteen years of age. The plaintiff clearly proved that a warrant had been given, and the defendant could not give the slightest evidence as to whom he had himself made the purchase from. His Honour, to the surprise of the whole court, gave judgment for the defendant, with costs, w hich will be very heavy. POLICE INTELLIGENCE LIVERPOOL. (BEFORE MESSRS. BOLTON AND DIXON.) SWELLS CAUGHT.—Two young men, dressed in very swellish style, who gave the names of Thomas Preston, and Richard Burke, were charged under the following circumstances. Mr. Duck defended Burke. It appeared that a lady named Lydia Roberts, who resides in Market street, Lancaster, was at the railway station, Tithebarn street, where she was taking a ticket. She took all the money out of her purse, and returned the latter to her pocket. The prisoners were in the crowd, pushing up against the lady, and Mr. Chadwick, the carriage inspec tor at the station, was watching them, and saw Preston pick the purse from Mrs. Roberts pocket, and hand it to Burke. He seized Preston at once, and then Burke ran into the water closet, where he was arrested, and the purse was found on him ; but, as remarked, the lady had taken all her money out of it. Mr. Bluck made an ad dress for his client,when Mr. Dixon observed, that railway stations were infested ,by many such robbers as the priso ners, and he thought there was a great deal of credit due to Chadwick for his exertions, and he trusted he would receive a reward • the detectives had done a goo d d ea l of service, but he thought Chadwick fully equal to them. The prisoners were committed for three months, with hard labour. The next case put up was, John Davis, and Esther Wilson, who were remanded from Monday, on a charge of picking pockets at the sam e s t a ti on, on Saturday last. These prisoners, in this case, were superiorly dressed. Mr. Bluck defended the man, and Mr. Goodier appeared for the woman, against whom there was a second charge, for picking the pocket of a lady, named Mary Dallon, who resides in Everton. The details of both cases were published in our paper of Tuesday. The outline of the case is as follows :—Chadwick saw the man in company with another, and the female prisoner at the station, oa Saturday; the other man picked the pocket of a lady, and gave the purse to Davis, who was at once seized by Chadwick, and then the prisoner flung it away from him, and the other man, along with the female prisoner, got away. The woman was arrested at a subsequent period of the day, in Commutation-row, on the charge of picking Mrs. Dallon's pocket, of -e3; this day, a lady, named Laura Rimier, came forward and identified the purse which Chadwick picked up, and it. contained the exact amount of money which she lost. Davis was sent to gaol for three months' with hard labour. but the evidence against ,the woman was not of a sufficient description, and she was discharged. (BEEORE MR. 7. AMIN.) "A MonsmAN."—A very well dressed young man, who gave the name of John Mitchell, was brought up by officers 764 and 4, under the following circumstances. Mr. Bluck defended. The constables said they were in Lime-street the previous night, where they observed the prisoner " loitering " about, speaking to several dis reputable females ; they saw him go into some public houses, and return quickiy, and they followed him through several streets, knowing him to be a Manchester thief. They took him up to prevent him committing any depredation. In reply to Mr. Bluck, officer 764 said, the prisoner was walking with suspicious characters in the street. Mr. Bluck : What hour was it ? Officer : About nine o'clock. Mr. Bluck : Was he doing anything except walking in the streets ? Officer : Yes, he was looking very hard into several doors. Mr. Bluck : What did you follow him:Tor ?—did not you expect to get him at a " job?" Officer : Certainly we did. Mr. Bluck : And when you could not get him at that, you arrested him ? Officer: Yes. Mr. Bluck contended that England was a free country, and that most respectable men went into public-houses at nine o'clock at night, as well as. the prisoner. It was unfortunate for a man to have a bad character, but he contended that there was no chance of a man reforming, for the police hunted the life out of every one whom they called " suspicious." He strongly contended that the prisoner should be discharged. He was discharged, with a strong caution as to his future conduct. PUBLICANS' AND BEERHOUSE CASES.—Stephen Rockliff, publican, corner of Hopwood street, was summoned for Sunday trading. Mr. Bremner appeared for the defendant, and disproved the complaint, which was dismissed. The following beerhouse cases were disposed of:—John Nichols, Park lane, for Sunday trading; fined 5s and costs. Henry Roycroft, Trowbridge street ; fined lOs and costs.‘, Mary Hensey, Pellew street ; fined 5s and costs. Pat Cogley, Maddox street; fined 5s and costs. James Cuthbert, Great Homer street, fined 5s and costs. CHESTER. Edward Palmer, a stout, strong-looking fellow, was charged with assaulting several lads on the previouseven ing, and setting a dog on them ; also, with assaulting the police, on being apprehended. The prisoner, it appeared, had been drinking, and on passing through St. John's Churchyard, was offended with the laughter of some boys, there at play. He kicked and cuffed several of them, and set a dog, which he had with him, after them, which bit one of them :in several places. The lads then procured a policeman to protect them, whom he kicked, beat, and maltreated, in a most brutal manner—the dog, of the bull and terrier breed, again taking part in the melee, by biting the legs of the policeman. It ultimately took the united efforts of three constables to lock him up. For the assault on the boys, the prisoner was tined 2,15, or in default 21 days' imprisonment; and, for the assault on the police, committed for trial at the sessions. BIRKENHEAD. (BEFORE J. H. HARDEN, ESQ,) This court sat yesterday. There were upwards of 250 cases entered for hearing, the majority of which were undefended, and did not possess the slightest public interest. All the defended cases were postponed to a future day, at the request of the solicitors present. INSOLVENT CASES.—James M'Donald, formerly the inspector of smoke nuisances, then came forward on his final order for proteetim. The Judge : Is there any person to oppose James MgDonald ? The Clerk : There is no auditor present. The insolvent then,. by th e sanction of the court, proceeded to r ea d as follows : I humbly trust that your Honour will be kindly pleased to extraordinarype m permit na e t o lay proceedings before tlt e w e h o i i e i r h t } a l a y e brief beenst a t t a e i k n e e n n t of the against , me in another court, and which ha s b een th e so l e cause o f putting it out of my Honour.mypoer t And o c comply i mp t l r y u st with yo tuhreod Honoure order will excuse me by y r,n excuse me, whis' I refer shortly t o th e or i g i nal cause of my being placed in my pre sen t p os i t i on. I trust I shall be rm d e able to show your Honour that my difficulties have not resulted, as is often the case, your Honeur, from improvi dent speculation, the indulgence in luxuries, or in the attempt to maintain a rank or appearance in society greater than my position warranted. They were caused by other and very different circumstances, and such as no human being could have anticipated. With your Honour's permission, I shall, with as much brevity as possible, call your attention to what those circumstances were, without entering into details, which would occupy too much of your Honour's valuable time. It is only just, however, not only to myself but to others, that I should lay before your Honour the true causes which have placed me in my present and most painful position. In 1836, your Honour, I was a common police-officer, at a salary of sixteen shillings per week. In 1848, I was the manager of the Waterworks, with a stipend of ..te4oo per annum. Your Honour, doubtless, can call to mind the controversy which took place in regard to the supply of water to the town of Liverpool. In that controversy I took no part up to a certain point. When, however, statements were made calculated seriously to mislead and 'were my then employers, the Town Council, I deemed it my duty to put that body in possession of such facts as were within my own knowledge ; and I am sure your Honour will see that had I, under the circumstances, concealed the truth, I should have been a very nnfaithful servant. I did my duty, nothing more, and tbr so doing I" was brought primarily into my present unhappy position. I was deprived of my office, and, after a servitude of some twenty years' duration, without a stain on my character, I was turned adrift without remorse or compensation of any kind. Knowing that I had only done my duty, I, of course, used every effort in my power to regain my position, but it was a struggle of right against might, and, to my sorrow and ruin, might prevaile]. Like many others placed under similar circumstances, I u ill not trespass on your Honour's time by detaili n g, if th a t were poss ibl e, the bodily and mental suffering to which I was, for years, subjected ; my little property was swept away, and, during the whole of a severe winter the only beds myself and family had were a few bags of straw on the floor; added to this I was myself lame from the effects of a severe injury which I received while in the police force. At last, when homeless and pennyless, I was com pelled to enter one of our hospitals, with a view to having an operation performed on my injured limb, for I was per fectly helpless. However, I recovered ; and, after re peated applications, was appointed, some e i ghteen months ago, to the office which I held, until compelled to resign it, three months ago, for reasons which I will presently submit to your Honour. When I inform your Honour that my losses, directly and indirectly, during the water contro-versy, were not less than £3 , 0 00, it will excite little sur prise in you that I had become considerably involved. The net sala r y o f my office, as inspector of smoke 1 nuisances, was £135 per annum. The duties appertaining to this office were of the most onerous, and I may add, laborious character, calling for the exertion of every effort, whether mental or physical, which I could put forth, in order to give practical effect to a law for the suppression of a nuisance which had baffled all prior attempts. In fact, so much was I engrossed with the performance of my public duties, that I had no time even to attend to my own affairs, and it was only when I had surmounted the principal difficulties I had to contend against th it I could do so. No sooner had I got installed into this little office than my old creditors became not only importunate, but claimant, holding me in constant dread of ulterior proceedings being resorted to against me. For the reasons stated above I did my best to appease them, but in vain ; it appeared that it was a raco as to who would be in at the death, for, had I given up my whole income, some parties would not have been satisfied. In this dilemma, acting on the advice of my friends, and with the cordial consent of my employers, the smoke committee, I had a schedule duly prepared and filed in your Honour's court, and paid the costs of same, when an interim order for pro tection was at once granted me, and on the sth Jan. this protection was extended until the 25th of that month. Again it was extended at various times until the 23rd day of May, under certain conditions. Those conditions I complied with, and on that day your Honour was pleased to renew it until this present court. Shortly after this decision of your Honour's had been given, certain parties who had opposed me from the commencement at once pro ceeded to Judge Grace, of the Wapentake Court, and com menced proceedings against, me in that so-called court. Confiding to the fullest extent in the validity of your Honour's protection, I at once set about making such arrangements as were necessary, not only to enable me to conform to the order made upon me by your Honour, but also to set aside a considerable sum for the payment of such creditors as had taken no proceedings against me. I need not trespass on your Honour's time by detailing the nature of these arrangements ; suffice it to say that, had I been permitted to carry them out, I should have been able to set aside at least one-half of my income for the above purposes, without entailing on myself any unnecessary privations. My intentions were, however, completely frustrated by the atrocious proceed ings of the judge of the Wapentake Court and his sub ordinates. My little cottage was on three separate occasions entered forcibly by a parcel of ruffians, who styled themselves the officers of Judge Grace, and my property carried off. In vain did I plead the protection granted me by your Honour ; Grace's reply was, that he did not care a for your Honour, or your protection either, and for aught he cared, you and the Lord Chan cellor might go to —; that the Wapentake was the only legal court in the county, and no one could or should control him. Of course I could not oppose brute force to him and his myrmidons, and nothing less would have availed me. Your Hon our can readily'conceive the state of mind to which I was reduced in consequence of these atrocious proceedings ; when, after having passed through the ordeals I had done, and making the sacrifices I had made, to find that all was of no avail—to find that I was still at the mercy of an individual whom, in the discharge of my duties as a police officer, I h a d on severa l occas i ons to lock up in bride well for drunken and disorderly con duct, and who, moreo ver , taxed me with the authorship of an article in one of our local papers, commenting on the proceedings of his court, and who did not scruple to say that ne would have his revenge. It would excite no surprise, your Honour, that under such circumstances a mind somewhat susceptible of strong emotions should become excited, and such was the case in this instance. my general health became so much affected under the influence of the irritation which I felt, that I could not devote that careful and calm consideration to the dis charge of my duties which their nature demanded, and I therefore resolved, sooner than run even the slightest risk of comeromising my employers, to tender my resig nation. To this step I was driven solely through the operations of that which was most justly characterised by Judge Crompton, at the last Chester assize, as being " A court of abomination (adding) truly such it was." Had I seen any such prospect of the prompt suppression of this den of vagabonds, as has subsequently taken place, I might have pursued a different line of policy. As it was, I saw no chance of arresting the career of this gang, who, in the name of law and justice, have been literally plun dering every unfortunate wretch like myself, on whom they could lay their fangs. It would appear almost incredible that such an organised conspiracy should have been tolerated in a Christian country for a single day. 4 gang of profligate vagabonds, holding what they called a court of law in a taproom, the landlord being the clerk of the court. Issuing their processes with all the apparent formalities of law ; seizing the property of those who ere unfortunate enough to get into their meshes ; bring ing scores of poor creatures to beggary and ruin in order that they might be able to gratify' their own sensual and depraved appetites. Y e t suc h was t h e Wapentake. navy in each week was the court day, and the scenes to be wi tnessed were enough to mak e th e h ear t s i c k ; drinking from morning to night, when that came then the orgies commenced in earnest. A sufficient number of victims having been mulcted, the next duty of the cleeie is to ascertain the amount of the jurors' fees, and calculate how many crown bowls of whiskey punch can be paid for out of this plunder. The number is often rather considerable. It is thought to be a poor day if these do not exc ee d t wen t y; some ti mes d ou bl e that quantity is drupk at one sitting. The debauch is pro longed until judge, jury, clerk, and bailiffs are in a state of happy obliviousness. This is no over-coloured picture, of the doings of a concern, which is a disgrace alike to humanity and civilisation, and most discreditable to our authorities, that its operation should have been so long toler ated with imp un ity. These, i n my case, have been ruinous. lam not only deprived of the means of obeying the order of your Honour's court, but actually of the means of living; this, too, after having conformed to all the re quirements, as I thought, of the laws of my country. Qf co urse cacti villainous proceedings cou ld no t l a st for ever. I laid a statement of their doie gs i n m y own case before the Lord Chancellor ; that, and o th er information, conveyed to the same quarter, has, doubtless, led to the summary abolition of this infamous affair. But, that is not enough. I submit, your Honour, that not only should the proceedings of these wretches be fully expos e d, but that the responsible; parties who have been tbe means DISTRICT COUNTY COURTS LIVERPOOL. (BEFORE JOSEPH POLLOCK, ESQ., JUDGE.) THE ROYAL OAK BURIAL SOCIETY.—Mr, Martin and Mr. Hull attended to report the result of the meeting of the society on Monday last, in accordance with the directions of the court. Mr. Martin handed in a report containing a minute of the proceedings of the meeting. After detailing the proceedings, the report thus concluded : "In the result, all the original motions became the resolutions of the meeting. From the opening of the doors to the close, five hours were occupied. The meeting was much more orderly than either of the two preceding ones, and I feel satisfied that the members heard the addresses of the several speakers and their motions, and that they also distinctly heard the latter when I put them ; and, conse quently, the results wero in these respects fairly arrived at by the majority of the members present. There being a great change for the better in the conduct of the members, and the house being divided, I bad an opportunity of satisfactorily corning to the following conclusions : The supporters of each side came prepared to vote in favour of certain known measures, and the arguments of the speakers did not appear to lead to a change of opinion. 2nd. That the motions carried were influenced by great numbers of female members, who were on the side of the house which supported them. 3rd. That the members on each side caused interruptions, but by far the most difficult side to keep in order was that on which the females were, and very many of them in particular were the most unruly in the entire house." Mr. Hull said he concurred in the general tenor and purport of the report, a draft of which he had been shown by Mr. Martin the day before. That report brought to a close the labours of the investigation committee, but before quitting the subject he thought it right to remark that the proceedings of the committee had been solely influenced by a desire to protect the best interests of the society. No personal or vindictive motives actuated the members of that committee ; but having become convinced, by investigating the accounts of the society, that some of the officers had appropriated a portion of the funds of the society to their own purposes—he would not say without the intention of repaying it—as a loan, the discovery of this irregularity naturally excited some suspicion, which resulted in the appointment of the investigation committee. It was only justice to the officers to say that they had met the committee in a fair and honourable manner, making due allowance for the frailties of human nature. Of course to them it was a question of vital importance, as the pro. c 2edings might involve a substitution of other officers for them ; but the investigation committee had no object in view beyong a desire to protect the interests of the society for the benefit of all. He expressed a concurrence in the remarks made in the report upon the conduct of the " lady" members, many of whom frequently interrupted the pro ceedings by exclamations of an entirely personal character, wholly irrelevant to the subject in hand. For instance, the cry of " Who robbed the Druids ?" was introduced on the mention of one gentleman's name. No doubt it was a very improper thing to rob the Druids, if any one did so, but no question of that kind carne to be enquired into by the meeting. At the close of the proceedings Mr. Martin made some observations which caused a little dis satisfaction. Mr. Martin appeared to have stated that the proceedings of previous meetings showed that the working classes were not capable of managing their own affairs. This he (Mr. Hull) did not think warranted by the cir cumstances. Had there been no "lady members" present, the business would have been much more quietly and speedily transacted. It was indeed, however, in this instance, that a great deal of personal feeling had been brought into the dispute, which was probably the less to be wondered at, when it was remembered that these parties were brought into frequent intercourse with the collectors, whose interests were evidently reflected in the proceedings of these " ladies." In point of fact, the moment a question was put to the meeting, they were at once ready to vote upon the right side. His Honour : A very happy qualification in voters. Mr. Hull concluded by saying that the labours of the committee had failed in some of the most important objects, with the exception of having obtained a new and practicable code of laws, and secured an investigation of the accounts. Mr. Martin said the only outrageous women present was the red-haired lady." his Honour said the working of the society, which was one of great importance, must be regarded as a matter of much moment by all who took an interest in the social well-being of the operative classes. The discussions which had arisen out of the affairs of the society, had been productive of no small amount of advantage. The investigation into the accounts of the society had re s ult e d i n p l ac i ng it s p ec uniary affairs in such a footing as to secure them for the future, which must, of itself, be looked upon as a very important advantage. New laws, of a practicable and workable character, had also been introduced. The object of substituting new office bearers had not been realised, and the officers appeared, under all the imputed odium to which they had be en exposed, to have re t a i ne d t h e good feeling and good opinion of a majority of the mem bers. They were accordingly retained in office. No doubt it was true that some irregularities had been traced to s - me of the officers, and it was undoubtedly wrong and unjusti fiable to appropriate any portion of the funds of the society LANCASHIRE INSURANCE COMPANY ANNUAL MEETING, The annual meeting of the Lancashire Insurance Company was held on Thursday, in the board -room, at the company's office, St. Ann's-square, Manchester. There was a large attendance of proprietors, and of the directory ; N. Heald, Esq., chairman ,pre siding. Mr. Kennedy, the general manager, read the adver tisement calling the meeting, and submitted the list of proprie. tore, to which the company's seal was affixed. He then read the report for the past year, in which the directors congratulate the shareholders on a continued steady increase of business in both departments, without such heavy fire losses as had occur, ed in the previous year, and with less than the average losses to be expected in the life department. In the fire department the premiums during the past year amounted to £36,453 ; the government duty, £20,110 ; being an increase of £4,139 of premium and £1,828 of duty over the previous year. The year's business showed a profit of £4,677.111The income from the life department during last year was £19,266, against £15,215 in the previous year. Tho favourable character of the business lin this department had enabled the directors to add £10,901 to the reserve and bonus fund, which now amounted to £30,567. The total income of th., company front every source amounted to £83,856, an increase of £10,265 over the previous year ; and the result of the year's business showed a surplus of £15,578, after paying all losses, interest, and every expense. The total invested funds, and cash in hand now amounted to X 170,108. The report then referred to the agitation for a repeal of the fire insurance duty, in which the Lancashire Insurance Company had, from the first, taken a leading part, and stated that something was now likely to be done, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer had applied to their manager, among other managers, for his opinion as to the abolitio❑ or reduction of the duty. The report having been read, The Chairman stated that the shareholders had been railed together this year about a month earlier than usual, in conse quence of certain articles which hail appeared in the Times newspaper, which he felt anxious the directors should have the opportunity of refuting. The directors had nothing to conceal. Us knew the history of some of those insurance companies which were got up in London, which was their head quarters, and which swarmed with needy adventurers, who were at once clever and unscrupulous. That class of persons seemed of late to have confined their attention to banking and , nsurance and they could always find plenty of men—it migh, be men of title, who had scarcely one guinea to rub against another — who would act as directors. And so the banking of insurance c an il o oimu m usie p tpl a ana t n i tt y yitnenn s vv v t a iai to s ssn f ft o olfi r ite :e cti d lidi , z a bac f y t lo e u r niinoti t r l y i ta e i.,:v n e t T o nih t 3t i , :e e l 1 1 : ek : :, f sa.an s t v c l a i Tp i s c rhie l: iesre t el l pi i e trro v ne:xi l us t c a irioa t t l houses nce C nal directors n wmearennmh Manchester, r sled from ,emeentn accustomedthe heads tnbw, o i f n different iuen w who knew the difference between the credit and debt side of an account, which he was afraid was what some of the directors of the London companies to which he referred did not know. When their company commenced operations. it excited a great deal of alarm among forty or fifty gen tlemen who were agents for other companies, and who were not long in manifesting their animosity, which had continued from that moment to the present time ; and that not only on the part of the agents, but on the part of the masts them selves. Their first year was one of prosperity ; and they were recognised, as they were n ow , b y t h e ot h er companies. Their second year was not quite so good. Their third year was moat disastrous, not only to them, but to other companies. Ho be lieved some of the old companies had lost as much as £lOO,OOO by fires in that year, while their loss was £37,000. That placed them in a very unfavourable position ; but that was the time selected to rank the Lancashire Insurapee Company amongst those London companies to which ho alluded. The parties who supplied the information to the Times did not wait to sec their present balance sheet; they knew what would be the effect of that ; but they took the one which was presented at the end of that disastrous year, and then they grossly misrepresented their position, They understated the income by £6,879 ; they overstated the expenses by £6,315 ; and thus represented their company in a most unfavourable light. Now he cha'lenged any existing company, in their fourth year, to show a balance sheet like that which had been presented to the shareholders to-day. With regard to the fire business, the public had nothing to do with the losses the company had ausiained, 'Whey had been carrying on business for four years, widi great labour, great anxiety of mind ; and they had found money to tie amount of £86,000 to meet the losses by Are i but there was nothing very alarming in that, for the present sheet allowed that on last year's business there had been a profit of £4,677: To show the caution and care exercised by the directors in accepting risks, he had to mention that they had rejected fire proposals amounting to £171,000; and as far as they had been able to trace thorn, £27,000 would have been lost to them had they been accepted, in the life department, out of 1,200 proposals, they had rejected ten per cent, and as far as they had been able to trace these, although it was more difficult to trace life than fire proposals, they would have lost £7,000 by accepting them. A great deal had been said about the expenses of the company, but these he thought could not be reduced with a due regard to efficiency in the managerslePt ; and by a reference to the history of a 6.,re plicy, front the time the first notice was given till the assurance was completed, ho showed the great number of books and the immense quantity of stationery which were necessarily requited.
