CHRISTMAS BRIIRPACTIONS TO POOR
OLEROYMRN.

The governors of the corporation of the Sons of
the Clergy held a meeting, Lord CRANIVOILIII, viorresi-
dent, in the chair, on Saturday, at their house, o. 2,
Bloomsbnry-place, ior the distribution of certain minuet
benefactions among poor clergymen, especially curates. The
sums granted oe this occasion amounted to 1,4701., the
Dumber of recipients being 130. It appeared that the dig.
tress in Loncashire has materially affected the circum-
stances of marry of the applicants from that part of the
country, reducing them t. privations of a morn than ordi-
nary character—pew rents, church fee., subscriptions to
school., and other parochial objects, fall off seriously stretch
a time, whilst the calls upon the clergyman's time, energy,
and pocketincrease considerably. The entire sum annually
given away by the corporation ,in donations to clergymen,
pensions to their widows and egad single daughters, and
grants towards educating and placing out in life the chil-
dren of poor cleigymeu, is about 17,0001. The funds
are administered without reference to locality, personal
induence, or party views in the chinch. The
only points to which the governors direct their sttentioe.
and of which they require to be satisfied, are the personal
worth and Decessity of the applicant., and when these are
established assistance is given temporarily or perinsuently,
according to the age, income, Dumber of children, mad other
circumstances of each case. The corporation received its
charter from Charles IL, and during the long interval which
has since elapsed has become possessed of considerable funds
entrusted to its charge by benevolent persons in successive
generations who have witnessed the privations of the poorer
clergy ; but it is obvious that in the preaeut times, when
the number of curacies and scantily endow. d benefices is
rapidly increasing, the Dumber of applications for assistance
fmtn the corporation must also greatly increase, and unless
the funds of the society are proportionately augmented, they
muht soon become very inadequate to meet the pressing
demands made upon them by one of the most meritorious
and awls' classes et the community.

ifiefore ViceChracelke Sir R. T. Maderaley.)

This 'nit was instituted by the official manager of the
Warwick and Worcester Railway l'ompany, and the de-
fendants are Masers. Format Weiss, John Douglas Hopkins,
F. H. Edlin, George Carpenter, and Sir John Edmund
De Beauvoir, who were directors of the company. The
Warwick sad Worcester Railway Company was formed in
1845, the capital being 700,000/. in share. of 20/. each, the
object of the company being to make a railway from
Warwick to Worcester with a branch to Drostwicb,
and the provisional contract gave power to the di-
rectors to amalgamate with any other railway company.
At a meeting of the directors, held on the 6th October, 1845,
Mr J. E. De Beauvoir, and Mews. P. H. Edlio, F. F.
Weise, It. Carpenter, and Seth Rattail Fisher were ap-
pointed the finance committee, and it was agreed that any
three of that committee should be a quorum ; the funds of
the company were placed at their disposal, and the com-
mittee had power given them to draw cheques, signed by
not len than three of their number. In the same year two
other companies were formed which had suirtentally the
name object, one being called the Rugby, Warwick, and
Worcester Railway Company, and the other the Worcester,
Warwick, and Rugby ; and besides these there was the
DavtfutrY. Leamington, and Warwick, subsequently called
the London and Birmingham Extension Railway Company,
which was formed with a view of making a railway from
Northampton to Warwick. The latter company entered
into an agreement, on the 21st October, 1845, with the
Warwick and Birmingham Canal company, and with the
proprietors of the Warwick and Napton Canal, for
the purchase of those two canals, and paid
10,0001. on account of the purchase money. On
the 13th October, 1845, an agreement was come to for
the amalgamation of the Warwick and Worcester, the
Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Railway Company, and
the London and Birmingham Extension Company, which
was carried out by an indenture dated Ist January, 1846 ;
and inasmuch as the latter company, in consequence of pay-
ing the 10,000/. to the mural companies, had not sufficient
to make the naceenary deposit on melting application for its
bill, the amalgamated company agreed to advance the am
ceaaary funds for that purpose. Shortly afterwards these
companies agreed to amalgamate with the remaining com-
pany, the Warwick, Worcester, and Rugby. and that agree-
meet was carried out by an indenture dated 28th January,
1846. At that time the deposits by the shareholders of
the Warwick and Worcester which had been paid to their
bankers amounted to 39,0491.10 x, and it was recited in the
deed that the expenses of the company bad amounted to
24,049/. 10a, leaving 15,0007., which was brought into the
stock of the amalgamated company, the Rughy,Warwick,and
Worcester, and the Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, each
bringing in 27,0004 The London and Birmingham Extension it
had been agreed should remain an independent company,
the directors not having power to enter into an amalgama-
tion without resorting to their shareholders, but the direc-
tors of that company were the same as the directors of the
Warwick and Worcester Company. The amalgamated com-
pany was not registered under the 7th and Bth Victoria, nor
was it in any manner legally constituted. It applied to par-
liament for its bill, but failed. On the 26th May, 1849, an
order was made by HA:smart for the winding up of the War .
wick and Worcester Company, and plaintiff was appointed
official manager. Three suite were alto 'manta,
" Sharp v. Goodman," " Goodman and others v.
De Beauvoir," and " Goodman v. De Beauvoir," under
which plaintiff has received 4,6811. sa. out of the
sum deposited by the company when theapplication waemade
to parliament. Plaintiff now charged that the two sums of
14.2091, 155., and 1,9867., part of the sum deposited by the ,
shareholders of the Warwick and Worcester Company, were
drawl out of the bank by two cheques on the 29th of
October, 1845, and employed on the Stock Exchange in what
is called " rigging the market," and were lost. and the object
of the bill was to obtain a decree against the defendants to
recoup three sums as well as the 15,000/, a portion of the
funds of the Warwick and Worcester paid to form the stock
of the amalgamated company, and also that the defendants ,
account for the remainder of the sums received by them
from the shareholders. The respective defendants met the
aim in various' ways, the counsel for Sir J. De Beauvoir
and Mr. Hopkins contending, on the authority of the
"Grand Trunk Railway Company v. Brodie," and other
awes, and of the 7 and 8 V ataxia, chap. 10 then and 12
Vict., chap. 45, and 12 and 13 Vie., chap. 108, that it was
not competent for the plaintiff to sue. It was also con-
tended on behalf of Hopkins that, be having answered, and
having been subsequently examined on the part of the
plaintiff, that amounted to a creerexamination, end that
being so. under the rule laid down in " Bernal v. Lord
Dougal." the plaintiff could get no decree avast him.
Mr. PAC Mr. Glasse, and Mr. Frye. appeared for the
plaintiff ; the Solicitor-General, Mr. Bade, Mr. Kenyon,
Mr. Hetherington, Mr. Roxburgh, Mr. Martina% and Mr.
Tool, for the defeedants.
The Vice-Chancellor said he was of opinion that this bill
could not be supported. The bill was in effect a statement
that the defendants had applied a large portion of the funds
of the company for purposes not beneficial to the company,
and the prayer of the bill was that they be decreed to ac-
count for then moneys. This was an unincorporated com-
pany ; it was merely an anxieties of persons combined to
carry into effect a certain undertaking which they could not
carry out without an act of parliament. He was of opinion
that under the 50th section of the Winding-up Act of 1848,
the official manager of an unincorporated company could out
sue a portion of the members for the benefit of the rest. It
was clearly not the intention of the legislature that the
official manager should represent a section of a company,
however respectable, but he was to represent all the con-
tributors, and then the question arose as to who were to
contribute towards the payment of the debts, and who were
to make good to the others money. which might have been
misapplied ; and all these questious were to be determined
by the Master. This suit could not be maintained, and
must be dismissed; but inasmuch as he dismissed it on a
point quite irrespective of the went', and which might have
been taken on demurrer, he dismissed the bill without
costa.
