LORD lILVIIDIOTOX a ROUTRRIR.
In this cam it appeand that the late lord Kenaiegken
bad raised, by way of mortgage upon the lieneit`
estates comprised in Ms marriage settlement, and of which
h was the tenant for Ur*, a sem of 20,0001., under a power
given to him by the settlement to charge that sem, with
interest, upon the estates. There being prior charges upon
the estate", the rents and profi*s thereof were found insuf•
ficient to k ep down the interest upon the mortgage, and
bin lordship in his lifetime had paid the deficieoey out of
other of his assets. The maie question in the suit was
whether his personal representatives were entitled to have
the amount so paid by their testator allowed, as agaien the
plaintiff the present Lord Keosincton, who bad enecesded
to the possession of the *state as remainderman, as a charge
upon the estate.
Their Lordships, in Riving judgment upon the ease,
overraling the decision of the !fester of the Rolls upon this
question, held that the amounts:teamed constituted a chugs
upon the estate.
Mr Lloyd, Q.C., and Mr. Shapter appeared for the
appellants.

In this cue a plaint had boon issued in the County Court

A special general meeting of this company
held yesterday, at the Bustoo-aquare station, for the put,
pose of considering the several bile promoted by the com-
pany now pending in parliament.
The Marquis of CIANDOR, chairman of the company, on
taking the chair said, that in consequence of the rejection
of the Worcester and Hereford, and of the North Stafford-
shire Amalgamation Bills, and of the withdrawal of the
Chester and Holyhead Bstonsion, and the Preston Stades
801 l not having passed the Commons' Committee, the only
bills for consideration at the meeting were the Improvement
of Comenualcotion with Ireland sad the Stockport and
Diehl Bill.. In reference to the latter bill the proprieteed
would recollect that last session an act was passed 'salmis-
Mg the coustruction of • railway from their station
at Stockport to Whidleybridge; the present bill was
introdneed by the company incorporated last en
sion to enable them to construct • line of above
half • mile to cosnest their doe at WhaUelbridp
with the Cromford and High Peak Railway. The bill con-
tained a clause enabling the London sad North Western to
subscribe an mammal of capital not exceeding 80,0001. The
clause in the bill was entirely permissive, and could not be
noted upon without the consent of three-fifths of the pro-
prietors present at a special general meeting to be called fur
i the consideration of the matter. The Improved Communi-
cation with Ireland Bill was also entirely permissive, as the
seventeenth clause provided that the powers given should
not take effect unless • contrast for the conveyance, of the
mails should be made before the let of May, 1860. It was
the intention of the directors sot to avail themselves of the
powers of the bill without bringing the whole question
1 before the proprietors and taking a special vote for the

purpose.
The Secretary then read the bills.
Is answer to • question from a proprietor,
