Mite Proems Hurst, a young lady reading is Bermond-

other trinkets, alleged to be his property.
my. xeyeard, from the office of Mr. Beard, appeared for
the camp pant, and Mr. W. Edwin for the defendant.
Mr. Maynard, in opening the rase, said that his client bad
kept company with the defendant for nearly two years,
and during that time they bad plighted their troth aid •
day war appointed for their marriage. In the latter part of
the time his client handed goods to the defendant to 4:10611•
ammo housekeeping. Amoopt the articles were two pho-
tographs, some lines and silk. Some time ago the eons-
plaioant arranged to take the defendant to the Exhibition,
when, to his utter surprise, the defendant *eked him to
allow her to take another gendarme with her. Of .Warm
he refused, and that led to a sepanitiom. Soon after that
he sat and demanded the articles back, and on her refund
le was aosepalled to take the present proceelings.

Mr. Combs—Do you know whether she bM got them

from his client.

Mr. Combo observed that it was a cue for the county
court, but he should think that even then the complainant
would not recover, aa the goods were no doubt given to the
young woman.
Mr. Edwin assured his worship that such was the feet, and
his client had given the complainant other things in ea.
change.
The summons was dismissed.

The directors have further to report that, since the last

Me CHAIRMAN in movies the adoption of the report ob-
served that the low rate of interest had, as in other banks,
diminished their profits. Notwithstanding that dhadvaa-
ta however, they were enabled to declare the usual divi-
dend and to carry forward a fair balance. As regarded the

The Canntsten replied that an additional director had
been appointed pronoun to Sir R. Carden's retirement,
so that the number of the baud remained as originally oca-

The CHAIRMLN in moving the adoption of the rePortr
observed that there wav very little difference between the
earnings of 1862 and 1861, but on the other hand the ex•
pewee showed an increase, principally in wages, of about
5,0001. Seven thoussod more tone of good" were landed,
and that accounted at once for the rise in wages. Moreover,
they had been obliged toeless all their good; aid that of coarse
involved considerable expense. Another item of increase
was rates, the charge being 3,000/. odd more than in
1861. There was a thither increase of 1,70 W. in interest,
arising from the renewal of debentures at 4 and 4 instead
3j and 31 per cent. As regarded the sum of B,IOW.
he had referred to the necessity of such an outlay on pre-
Viooll occasions. Had it not taken place, a greeter
expense would have arisen from the 0011111300.
The rest had bad the benefit of the long delay of 33 yeah,
and the board therefore considered it only fair that the rest
should bear the burden. There was an evident increase of
business ; and although there had been no increase
of earnngs, it was not owing to any neglect on
the part either of the board or the officers.
Reference had been made before to some arrangement by
which two or three cloak cowpoke might work together.
Several conferences had taken place on the subject. They
had first to deal with the London Dock Board, and they had
brought all the points to • successful issue except one. The
proprietor, might rely upon it that no arrangement would be
entered into which was not fair to that company. (Hear, hear.)
The report was adopted, end the dividend recommended
was declared.
