proposed
.Sleigh then read • speech, which stated thet in such
institations, however good a board of directoi 5 :might
exbt, there was alwa,e on imp:iciest person behind the
scene., and that man, in the cue of the Unity Bank, was
Mr. Terry ; and when the state of the bank was consi-
dered, and the enormous mount of information, judg-
ment, diecretion and knowledge of the commercial commu-
nity which had been required, it whet be felt be had per
a difficult task, and was entitled to the beat thanks
of the shareholder; and that if the balance-sheet were
analysed, it would be seen that Mr. TE had actually
oa made it pay 51 per nt. on the whole • -up capital of
the bank, and 12 per cent. on the avails abets, and had
it not been for the unfortunate losses and preliminary ex.
pauses, the institution would have been one of the most
fiourialtiog of young institutions ill the metropolis, and that
these facts showed that Mr. Terry bad all the qualificatioes
most essential to the management of a beak, and that he
had bettered hie position honourably and ably.
This speech, D. Cook said, was his ; but at that time he
believed Mr. terry had dome all that bad been attributed
to hint. He was always told by Mr. Terry and the directors
that this was a valuable property, and thaqthe bank would
torn out • valuable institution. Witness reeellected
Mr. Alderman Meohi at that meeting =yin, " I
have certainly felt very &axioms about this bank, and
have never had any double with regard to the character
of those who were aimed in it. When at the cow.
malcontent of the business mistakes were made, and money
lost I said, ' There is but one thing for us to do as honest
men, and that is to tell the truth. There must be no
varnishing the matter; every Englishman will forgive a
misfortune if you tell them the truth, but they will never
forgive deceit; they will forgive an error, but they will
never forgive • lie. That is the principle which actuated
the directors, and which will, I trust, always actuate them.
Wie,ere now in smooth water. Past experience has made us
wise. We have learnt not to place too much confidence in
any man. We have got an excellent manager (we take
care that all who are employed are sot merely testimonial
men, bat persons who have been tried before), but we
shall watch over our manager closely, and I contend that
in a 000csrn of this kind no man should be entrusted
with an unlimited amount of responsibility.' Witness
believed all that the manager and the directors told him.
He believed Mr. Alderman Meohi when be said the directors
examined every bill and every voucher.
By Mr. Metcalfe—Witness knew that at an earlier date
the bank was in difficulties, but he thought from the state-
meats that were put forward that it was gradually progress-
iug. He heard Deputy Bower say at a meeting in 1858
that there was • time when sone of the directors could
sleep in their beds in consequence ofithe stets of affairs of the
teak. He bought the shares gradually, believing the re-
preiestatioos that were made from time to time that the
eats of the bank was improving, end that it would ultimately
become • valuable property.
By Mr. Lewis—At the time he moved the vote of thanks
to Mr. Terry be believed all that bad brew said, and
thought be had done all that had beta attributed to him.
He had no knowledge of the past due bills. He had held hie
shins until the last, and held them still.
Mr. Lewis—And I am afraid that is all you will do.
fhe caw was then again adjouroed, the same bail being
scoepted for the appearance of the defendants.

JOE? V. WOOD.

His 'Lieut. gave judgment in this case, which cams on
wpm • petition o rehearing. The questios raised was
wi.ether the domicile of • Mr. John Smith, at the death
of two of his infant children, and at the time of his own,
was Scotch or Anglo-Indian. The facts wen:--sr. Smith
wee bone ia Ayrshire in 1786. In 1803 he went to India,
and became • clerk in the haoking•bouss of Forgone= and
Co., Calcutta. In 1807 he left the bank, and began business
as an indigo planter, which be ceased to be in 1814, when
he returned to and became • partner is Unimak. In 1816
be married an English lady at Calcutta, and in 1817
Eleanor (one of the two children above mentioned) was
born. She died in 1818. In 1819, Mr. Smith becomingyre of the family property in Altire, visited Scot-
rirdewmietah his wife. While there beinecutedaboad, wherein
he described himself as of Calcutta, and he has also
executed • testamentary instrument wherein he also
described himself aa of Calcutta. While still in Scotland he
wrote letters to various persons, in some of which he spoke
of making certain dispositions of his property in the event
of his i')ing &braid, and specified the provisions he wished
to be made for paying his wife's expense borne in case be
so died. In that year be also made additions to the family
mansion in Ayrshire. In 1820 he returoed, together with his
wife, to Calcutta. In 1823 another child was born, who
did in 1824. In 1829 ]lre. Smith died near the Mauritius,
and her husband armed • monument to bar in Calcutta,
where be himself died in 1830.

Mr. Selwyn, Q.C.• Mr. fierieant Atkinson, Mr. Hob-
house, Q.C., Mr. Hanson, and Mr. Chapman and Mr.
Jackson appeared for the several parties.
His Honour, after stating the facts, and observing that
two thins, were indispensable to effect a Mange of donsi-
oile, first, sn actual change of locality, and secondly, the
animus maneadi in the place to which the person bad gooe,
said that upon the authorities, be thought, in order to de-
prive • party of his domicile of origin, there must from the
facts of the case be manifest an unequivocal intention
" einem patriam." Hue his Honour thought there was
no sufficient proof of intention on the part of Mr. Smith to
abandon Scotland altogether, and so the opinion szpormed
on the former hearing, that the domicile was Scotch, would
be adhered to, and the petition dismissed with oasts.

Sir Hugh Caine, Q.C., and Mr. Deuce, on behalf of the
Apothecaries' Society, moved for an injunction to restrain
the defeedants from meeting any building above the railway
bridge crowing Union-street, E.C., and from erecting or
permitting to continue over Union-street any erection or
building whatever (other than the railway bridge authorised
by their sots), so se to darken or obstruct the ancient lights
in Apothecaries' Hall.
The defendants, in their extension line across the Thames
to Ludgate-hill. were authorised to cross Uniowetreet (the
abort reset leading from Bridge-strest, Blackfriare. to the
western front of ApothersriesAsall) by • girder bridge on •
level with the viaduct extending from the Thames to Lud-
gate-hill. Subject to the question of oom • n, the
right of constructing this bridge was not disputed by the
plaintiffs, but it appeared that the defendants had com-
menced the erection of a station upon the viaduct, on either
side of Union-street, and extending over the girder bridge at
• height of 50 feet from the level of Unionetreet.
Sir H. Cairns, Mr. Solt, Mr. Dress, Mr. Rekewich, and
Mr. Round, were in the cue.

The Vicve-Chancellor, after going through the various
points of the case at considerable length, and with great
minuteness, came to the conclusion that the question was
too grave a oce,to be disposed of on an interlocutory pro-
ceeding, and directed the motion to stand to the hearing
of the cause.
