(Before air. Commissioner Face.)
IN HE THI ASPHALTUM CONPAIIT (LIMITED).

This was an adjourned sittieg for the hearing of a petition
ip favour of continuing the voluntary winding up of the
roomy, which had been going on idllo/1 May, 1862. A
petition bed also been presented asking for a compulsory
coding-up wider the usual order of the court. The com-
,,ny was established in 1859, with a nominal c ital of
litO.oog. in 10,000 shares of 101. each, which web.: after-
wards converted into 11. shares.
31r. Roxburgh, Mr. Doris, Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Harrison,
Mr. !hough, Mr. Lnwrarice, Mr. Linkliater, and other pro-
iss,ional gentlemen, appeared to the case. At the last sit-
ting Mr. Linklatsr was heard in support of the petition for
continuing the voluntary winding-up, the petitioner being
yr. Robert Wason, of Montpelier-terrace, Brighton ; end
so adjournment was directed in order that the accounts of
the voluntary liquidators might be submitted to the sham
boldera
M. Roxburgh opposed the cookinance of a voluntary
sindiog-up, on behalf of Mr. Bhipton, the engineer to the
company, who, since the last milting, had presented the peti-
tion privies for a compulsory winding-up.
Mr. Alfred Wilson, brother of the first petitioner,
was examined. He deposed that he was one of
the liquidators appointed under the voluntary winding-
up. He held 10001) shams in the company, 1,500
on his own account, and 8,500 in trust for his firm, as
security fora debt. He declined to state for whose debt
they were held. All the calls bad been paid up on his
1.500 shares. He declined to say how much cash he ha
Pdd-
3fr. Roxburgh pressed the question; but
His Honour held that the edema need not answer it.

Hereupon a long and irregular discussion ensued u to
the best mode of *dealing with the two petitions. It wu
stated by Yr. Linklater that creditors to the amount of
26,0001. were in favour of the voluntary winding up, and
holders of 86,000 shares out of 100,000.
. .

His Hormuz said if Wm were shown W be proper evi-
dence be should act upon it, and ultimately the hearing
wu adjourned in order that the sense of the creditors and
the shareholders might be taken.
Mr. Roxburgh protested against that course.

Mrs. E.A.Stoma.
„ . . _ .

Ms. Stones proved that the haystack fired by the pri-
soner wa her property, and the d►mage done to it by fire
and water was about 101. The prisoner add her that he had
set fire to the stack, and had only come out of prison oe
the 24th of last mouth, having been committed for a similar
offence. _ .

-71,Ttiocuer of the Caine of Radian, residing at Spring.
cottage', Homey-road, said that yesterday he and his mate
wire going to work, when they maw the prisoner get over the
feoce into a field belong* to Mn Stoats. and set fire to
the haystack there. He (tritium) asked the prisoner what
he did it for ; and he said, because he was starving end could
not get any work. The fire was pat out, but not before •
great deal of damage was done by fire sod water.
Charles Grove said he was with the last witaesa, and saw
the prisoner strike • Inciter and set fire to Mrs. Stones'
stack of hay. AS soon as he had done it he jumped over
the fence, and laid down about ten yards from the stack.
He said he did it bemuse he was very hungry.
Police-constable William Gilrow, 241 N, said be took the
prisoner ieto custody; and, alter his cautioning him, the pri-
soner said be did it because he was starving. He said he
bad walked the mama for several days, and could get no-
thing to eat. He told him that he had set fire to the stack
because he wanted to get into prison. He also said that be
had been sentenced to 12 months' hard labour for setting
fire ►to a stack of straw at Appledore, in Kant, and had had
besides three months for felony. The primmer wished him
to mention these facts to the magistrate, as he wished to
have another 12 months, as he would then have plenty of
meat. The Copi as er was convicted in the name of Williams.

ral, and be did it because be wanted to get into prison.
He could not get any work, although he had triad hard to
get some.
Mr. Barker remarked that there now appeared to be •

feel -Oreet, Bt. Pancras, appeared before Mr. Barks: to

Wakeling defended.
Thanes William Young, on being examined by Mr.
Beard, said he was a cab driver, and on the 28th of July
last he was driving a cab belonging to the defendant. On
returning home with the cab at night he saw the defendant's
foremaa, and told him he didn't intend to drive for the de-
fendant soy more, and that he would call in the morning
and pay in We day's work. He then went to a manger in
the stables, to place his cushions there, when he was sud-
denly seised from behind and thrown down. He
saw it was the defendant, who knelt with can
knee on his cheek whilst the other he pruned into his ribs,
and the defendant then proceeded to put his hands into
witeees's pocket., and from one he abstracted 27.., and then
wellp, saying, as he went away, "You —, I have
robbed you, instead of you me." The defendant then
ran indoors, and WitIIONI went into the street and found a
police-constable, who returned to the yard and knocked
some time at the door, but it was not opened to him, and
thopresent proneedinp were then instituted.
The complainant was cross-examined as to • struggle about
• hones cloth, but his testimony was not in the least

Police•constable Robert theme, 1816, corroborated the
complainant, sad is answer to Mr. Beard raid the com-
plainant was very suited, and had evidently hem roughly

1071leard deelguted the defendant's conduct u felonious,
aid said it wu lucky for him a far more serious charge was
not preferred against him.
Mr. Wakeling said be was instructed to deny any assault.
'There was an altercetios about a home cloth, and a struggle
ensued, in which the complainant fell. Be, bower, called
ao vitamin to prove the defence.
Mr. Barker, after alluding to the fact that the defendant
hod sot called his foreman, who was present, to beer out the
clefoses, expressed himself of opinion that the complainant's
ease was true, and that the defendant had acted most ille-
gally. Far the umiak he should order the defendant to
pay a fined 40s. and 235. costs, or in default one month's
bnpreeon mut in the Howe et Correction.
Mr. Beard said he should proceed by an action for the
recovery of the mosey taken by the defendant out of the
toraplamant's pocket.

The OHAILIAN, in moving the adoption of the'report and
accounts, said smote ea • statement had never been
submitted to the shareholders. (Cheers.) The report
showed great progress. The customers' balances had
been considerably increased; and the number of
customers, which on the 31st of December last was
32,037, was on the 30th of June 33,437. (Omen.) During
the half-year new branches were opened at Whitstable,
Maidenhead, and Faversham, and the bank's operations had
also been extended to Southwark and Croy-
don. A. regarded the new banks which bad started
up In all directions, be observed that their intense.'
dal not appear to interfere with those of the Lon.
don and County, which had not in fact come into
collision with them anywhere. The reduction of the
reserve fond was owing to the loss of the suit re-
specting the Chandos mortgage. £15,000 had hero taken
out of the profits of the last half-year is order to
raise that fund to 90,0004, and it would as moos
as possible be again raised to mow. The
current sad deposit accounts exhibited an increase rime last
December of 1,036,988/. ; but as 42'1,9781. of this amouot
consisted of acceptances the real increase was 6139891. He
then referred in congratulatory terms to the gradual
increase in the profits of the bank, and expressed
a hope that the augmented dividend now declared would
be maintained and even surpassed.
After • short discussion the report was adopted, and a
dividend in accordance with it declared.
The proorandioes terminated with votes of thanks to the
directors and officers of the bank.

somber of spectators, the impeding °Soar being Colossi
Morrie, C.B. The regimeat was under the command
of Lieutenant-Woad Whitehead. wbo wan ably
sided by the adjutant, Oaptain R. lien Jones.
The number of men of all ranks on the gronod
was about WO. The evolutions, which were of an advanced
order, were performed in a very soldierly manner, proving
that although the corps includes many fir Unite marksmen,
it has not, like too many others, so neglected drill as to
have degenerated into little mare than a shooting club. At
the conclusion of the inspection Colonel Morris upraised
his intiafaction with what he bad witnessed.

Tac BLacx Docros.:"ZTheiribut;al of Correc-
' boned Police on Tuesday tried the Black Doctor, J. H. Vries,
