to the regulations laid down by the company, sod further

The ease on the part of the plaintiff had proceeded some
length, when
Mr. Hestia' said be had unfolded with hie learned
Maid. wad they bad mined under the peculiar circumstantial
of the oese that a juror should be withdrawn, sad on
the put of the company he would say that they would
abide by the declaims and pay as a matter of compassion
mad generosity the amount his lordship should award. He
would mention that the company had defended the action,
as they thought it of great importance that the public 'horrid
be made aware that some degree of caution was neoessary on
their part when travelling on railways.
Mr. Baron Martin said he would rather not be an arbi-
trate: In the matter. From the turn the cue had taken, he
would now my that in his opinion there was no ease to go to
the jury as it was incumbent on the plaintiff who sought to
rawer damages for alleged negligence, to show that she had
ass bus "witty of negligence herself. Railway companies
inn net themers, and to maintain an action against them
It was necessary to show they were guilty of negligence.
The learned counsel had better arrange the matter between
themselves.

LILLIS O. WILSON.

In this case, which came on for further consideration, a
question arose upon a gift made by the testator in the alas
of 1001. to the Foreign Missionary Society. It appeared
that there was no society with that name, and that there
was the London Missionary Sniety, to which the testator
had been a subscriber, and there was also a society known
as the Colonial Missionary Society.
The Via-Chancellor considered that the London Mis-
sionary Society was entitled to the legacy, and decreed
acoordlegly.
Mr. Bean, Mr. Malice, Mr. Manley, Mr. Eld erten, and
Mr. Goode,* appeared for the various parties.

The bankrupt was the proprietor of the Crystal Palace
and Beulah Spa Hotels. This was the last examination
meeting. A statement of the bankrupt's affairs was fur-
nished by Messrs. Harding and Pullein, extending over •
year and • half prior t, the 220 d of January last. It rem-
oteness with a surplus of 13,4621., and closes with unsecured
erediton, 10,6331. ; secured ditto, 14,220/. ; property,
9,8651. ; ditto, held by secured creditors 14,0001. The
difference consists almost entirely of speeded louts to the
amount of 12,6171. _ _ .

The bsisktspt passed his examination.
IN 1111 RICHARD RIRLYAN LANE.

The bankrupt was a solicitor and bill discounter of
Argyll-street, Regent•atreet. This was a meeting for the
proof of debts and choice of misuses. Mr. Mason appeared
foe the petitioning creditor; Kr. Bagley, Mr. Lucie, Mr.
Needham, Mr. Heather, Mr. A. A. Jonas, and Mr. Chidley
appeared for other creditors.
A proof for 1,8911. by Mr. Orchard, the petitioning ere•
ditor, was, after some opposition, allowed. A proof for
10,3701., supported by Mr. Bagley and opposed by Mr.
Needham, was discussed at some length. In the course of
the examination of the creditor, Mr. George Giles, of
Penton, near Andover, the learned commiuioner observed
that creditors who came to this court were sometimes treated,
in examination as if they were culprits. He would not
permit such a tonne to be pursued. The sentiment excited
general applause in the court, which was crowded with other
creditors.

This suit was institutsd for the

estateofi. St. John Long, the well-known practitioner in
oases of consumption. By his will he gave his property to
trustees in trust for his wife (now deceased) for life, after I
her death in trust for William long (also since deceased)
for life, and after his death in trust to divide the whole pro-
perty amongst his children on their attaining twenty-one.
By a codicil the testator gave to hie executor a paper con-
taining the secret of hie cure for consumption. He died in
1834, leaviog property to the amount of 5,5401., besides " the
secret," which was sold for 10,0001. W. Loog died is Ca-
nada, leaving a wife, by which he affected to bequeath the
property in which he had only • life interest. The bill
asked the usual administrative decree.
Mr. M. Wade appeared for the parties.
The Vies-Chaneellor made the decree as prayed.

Thup;oof was admitted.
Mr. Needham, in addressing the court, said that the cue
of the bankrupt was the history of a series of frauds from
year to year.
His Honour—l must say that such a remark is at least I
premature. It is due to the bankrupt to state that he
voluntarily placed in the hands of the messenger of the'
court all the cash and diamonds and jewels in his possession
to the value of 6341. There is no evidence at all to show
any frond.
The amount of unsecured creditors is estimated at 20,0001.,
the assets, subject to realisation, to 14,0001. Mr. Huggins,
brewer, of Broad-street, wes chosen assignee.

The bankrupts in this ease were banker., of Lombard-
street, trading under the firm of Brown, Collioson, and
Tritton. The failure occurred as far back as 1819. This
was an audit meeting.

of4ool. had been recently received to rue estate from another
estate on which the bankrupts were creditors. A dividend
would be declared, but the amount would be exceedingly
small.
