cent which would obstruct or interfere with the
per accede of lighter air to the buildings on the plaintiff's
said lands, and from doing anything whatever whereby the
access of light or air to or by the windows in the plaintiff's
said house might be diminished or interfered with. Tae
Vies Chancellor made an order imintiog an injunction in
the terms of the prayer of the NM. From that order the
defendants appealed. The arguments on the appeal
were heard on the Wed of this month, and
the cams was plaid on the paper this morning
to be disposed of. The following order was now made.
Suspend the injunction till further orders, the company and
directors undertaking to pull down whatever may be built
so as to interfere with plaintiff's rights ; such undertaking

This suit toss instituted for the purpose of obtaining an
injunction against the defendants, the directors of the com-
pany, from mining preference shares. The case was brought
on on Thursday last, and stood over till to-day oo an ueder-
taking that nothing should be done in the meanwhile. The
motion now came on again, and it occupied nearly the
whole of the day, the principal question being whether.
under the connotation of the company, the directors and
company had power to issue preference shares.
Mr. Glace and Mr. Looock Webb appeared for the plain-
tiff ; Mr. Badly and Mr. Fry for the directors and company ;
Mr. Speed for Mr. Button, &director ; Mr. Osborne for Mr.
Stereos, a director ; and Mr. Roxburgh for Mr. Byers, the
mangier director.
The Vice-Chancellor, without calling on Mr. Glues, in
reply, said he was of opinion that the company had not
power, nader their constitution, to issue prototypes shares,
and he, therefore, granted an injunction to restrain them
from issuing such shame until the hearing, or until further
order, there being power, as he °bogeyed, in the company,
to alter their constitution if they eaw ISt.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Joys 29.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)

Di Si TIMIS& -A PROMOTER AND DIRICTOR OP COMPANIES.

The bankrupt, Joshua Tioner, was described m of Dray-
! cott.place, Chelsea, a director of the Crioceth Slate Com-
. pry and other limited. companies. This we, the 'Atlas
for examination and &mamma His liabilities are 478/. ;
! and there are share, in slate companies in the bands of
some of bis creditors from which the bankrupt anticipates •
surplus sufficient to pay all his debta.
At the last &Mies he was directed to furnish &aorta of
his transactions with the various companies with which be
had been connected. In • paper subsequently Sled he states
that he was the promoter of the Compressed Coal Company,
now in course of winding up. He spent • great deal of time
and money in experiments, and in travelling in order to
establish the company. Had it succeeded he
should have reamed a large sum of money ; as
it was, he had never received • farthing remu-
neration, as the company became bankrupt. There were 46
shares io the Crioceth Slate Company standing in his name,
bat he had never bed the scrip ; it was held by a creditor
as murky. The like as to 40 shame in the Slate Mountain
Company (Limited). He had berme a director of the Bantry
Bay Slate Company (Limited) about twelve months ago, and
had lost his appointment on being adjudicated bankrupt.
He had received about 201. for attendances from that
company. . . . _ . . .

Mi. Cbainbeclayne, for the assignece, objected that the
accounts rendered were not sufficiently toll and explanatory.
His Hooper allowed the bankrupt to peas, but adjourned
the order of discharge—way further information that might

he had concluded, turned hastily round and retired from the

JULY 28.

(Before Baron Channell.)
George Rarer, 24, a soldier. a determosed-looking man,
was charged with feloniously and maliciously wounding
Vincent Fens, with intuit to murder him • and in other
counts of the indictment the latent was laid 46 be to MOM
and dyeable and to do grievous bodily harm.
Mr. F. Russell prosecuted, and io opening theme to the .
jury be &aid that the prosecutor was the governor of St. i
Augustin's Gaol, Canterbury, and at the time the offence '
was committed by the primmer be was confined there under '
the sentence of a court-martial. By some means or other
he contrived to obtain pomessioo of the blade of a clasp
knife, which be ground to a sharp point and fixed is two
pieces of wood, so as to form a handle, and with this lustre.
meet he made a met des attack upon the prosecutor,
and when they bad k the nature of the case it would
be for them to decide whether it was not clearly established
that the prisoner really intended to commit the more
serious offence imputed to him by the indictment, and would
feel themselves °impelled to convict him of that offence.
Mr. Vincent Fenn, the prosecutor, was then examined.
He said—l am the governor of St. Augustin'. Gaol, at j
Canterbury, and the prisoner was committed to my cos-
tody on the 18th of March last, to be imprisoned for two
years under the sentence of a court-martial It is
customary to parade the prisoners every morning at a quar-
ter past eight o'clock, and this was done on the 26th of
March, and I was io the act of inspecting them as natal
when the prisoner said that he wished to speak tome, and I
told bun to fall out of the rank, and he did so. I took him '
on one side so that the other prisoners might not hear what
passed, and he then said that he wished to make a corn.
plaint against Mr. Dunbar, one of the warden, and I told
him that I would he what be had to my uneasily. I
turned a little to the right when I bad said this, and
at the same instant received a blow fro.o some weapon under
the left eye, and it was immediately filled with blood. I
had lost the sight of my right eye minion*, and from my
other being filled with blood from the wound, I was totally
blinded for a short time, and while I was in that state I
received two other wounds, one on the cheek, and the other
on the angle of the left jaw. I succeeded, however, in
soiling the prisoner by the throat, and not of my warden
came up to my moisten**, and the prisoner was secured.
lie did not utter a word while he was striking at me.
He was put into a place called the wheel shed, and after my
wounds had been dressed I went to him and told him I did
not exactly know who be was, and asked him to tell me,
and he replied, "If you want to know you may go and find
out. I will murder you before I leave this place," at the
same time making use of most filthy language. He
was removed to a cell, and I went to him again about ten
o'clock, and asked him what reason be had for attacking me
as he had done that morning, and he replied, " That is my
business and not yours. I am 00lti /My that I did not
take your life this morning." On a following day I raw
the prisoner again, and said to him, " Yesterday you said to
me you were sorry." He replied, " I did not sly I was
sorry.'•
I then said, " Yen did say that you were sorry you
had not takes m 7 life," and the praustier replied, " Ah, that
is another thing. He was put in irons for three or four days,
and was subsequently committed for trial upon the present
Baron Chappell asked the prisoner whether be wished to
put any Questions to the witness, and be replied in a sulky
manner, " No, I have nothing to ask him."
Edward Boss, use of the warden of the prison, deposed
that he was on duty on the morning in question, and saw the
prisoner in the act of moulting the governor, and he imme-
diately went to his aseirtance and helped to secure him. He
afterwards heard the prosecutor ask the prisoner what he
meant by sating as he had done, and he replied, "1 woofed
your other eye, and I am sorry I did not take yc ur life." The
prisoner afterwards told witness that he was sorry he bad not
taken the governor's life before' but be would murder
him yet before he left the prison, and he was sorry it had
broke. He believed the prisoner referred by the word
" it," to a broken blade of a knife which witness after-
wards picked up close to the spot where the prisoner was
standing. The witness said he had no idea how the pri-
soner became possessed of this portion of a knife. but it ap-
to have been part of a clasp knife, and the prisoner
Mid tied it between two pieces of wood, so as to form •
handle.

The prisoner said he had no questions to put to this
witness

Mr. Robert Tausll, the surgeon to the prison, depoe
that upon the prosecutor being examieed by him he found
three cute on his face, one clues to the left eye, another on
the cheek, and a third upon the left jaw. They were all
such wounds as might have been inflicted by the instrument
that had been produced ; and if one of them had only been
a quarter of an inch lower it would have separated a large
branch of the carotid artsiry, and would in all probability
have proved immediately fatal. If the injury to the left
eye had also been a little more to the right, it would have
destroyed the sight, and the prosecutor would consequently
have been rendered totally blind.
Thomas West, we of the ataistants in the prieon, denoted
that he bad charge of the prisoner in the railway carriage,
when he was being conveyed to prime, and as they were
going along the prisoner said that be had made up his
mind to kill the governor before be went into the gaol, and
that he had done so in co, sequence of what he bad heard
about him from other soldiers who had been confined there.
Ile also said that he was only sorry he had made the attack
upon him on the Thursday morning, and not waited, am be
intended to have done, until Sunday ; and he said be in-
tended, when prosecutor came round to inspect the prisoners
on the Sunday morning, to have dragged him into the cell,
and he would have killed him before he could obtain any
assistance.

This was the CM for the prosecution, and the prisoner
on being asked whether he had anything to may to the jury
in answer to the charge, replied Mischa had nothing to say.
The learned judge then summed up, and observed that
there was no doubt that the prisoner bad attacked the pro-
locutor with the knife in the manner stated, and the only
question for the jury to consider was, with what intent
the injuries had been indicted.
The jury almost immediately band the prisoner Guilty
of wounding with intent to murder.

His Lordthip in passing sentenoe mid it appeared to him
that the jury could not have come to any other conclusion
than the one they had dose upon the evidence before them.
Only a short time back the prisoner's life might have been
forfeited, but although the law was now altered his offence
was still regarded as a most serious one. it was absolutely
necessary that persons in the position of the prosecutor
should be protented from acts of %whines of this description,
and he felt it his duty to sentence the prisoner to twenty
years' pseud servitude.
