EQUITY COURT:,. =NI trait 19.
(Before the Master of the Bolls.)
THE NATIONAL BANK Or DEPOSIT.
This case came again before the court upon the question
whether the Marquis of Abercoru was a director and contri•
butory of the company.
Mr. Holt and Mr. H. Fox Bristowe appeared for Lord
Abereoro, and Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Roxburgh for the official

manager.
At the conclusion of Mr. Mitoses argument his Honour
delivered judgment, of which we give en outline, and which
should be taken in connexion with our report of the pro-
ceedings on Monday last.
His Honour thought Lord Abercorn must be considered
a contributory in respect of the HAL investment stock
upon which he had received the dividends. It was not now
open to hie lordship to contend that he was not both a
director and trustee for some period which was to be ascer-
tained. Mr. Wells had so grated, and his lordship's letters
(previously reported) clearly imply that he wasdirector
during a certain time. What, then, is the result? On his
behalf it was urged that he never was • boon fide holder
of stock, and that there was nothing incidental in the office
to fix him with liability. Now, when Mr. Wells asked his
lordship to become a director, he employed his solicitor to
make inquiries, and the issue appearing satisfactory,
a letter was read at the beard by Mr. Wells in October
1653, asking that Lord Abercorn be made • director,
and which was complied with on October 27 of that year ;
5001. of the capital stock of the society was then elicited to
him. The fact of this allotment was never communicated
to his lordship, a circumstance declared by Mr. Bolt to
amount to fraud, but his Howse could not accede to that
notion, as what was then done was in accordance with the
usual practice of the directors, who did not ask payment of
money from a new director, but opened • credit for the
amount of stock placed
.in his name as director.
His Honour was of opnion that when Lord Aber-
corn authorised Mr. Wells to propose him as a
director he authorised the directors to do every
act necessary to qualify him as one of their body.
He could not subsequently say they were not so authorised.
Inquiries were made, and the knowledge that some instru-
ment regulated the company must be assumed. A certain
amount of stock, viz., 1001., was requisite to qualify, sod
the directors were authorised to transfer that amount as
his lordship's qualification. To that extent they had audio.
rity, but they had none to transfer more than was requisite
to qualify, and to that extent only did his Honour consider
Lord Abercorn bound as a director. Further, when his
lordship ceased to be • director it was the duty of the board
to transfer out of his name the amount which they had
previously been authorised to place in it. It must,
therefore, be considered that when his lordship
removed his name they
_transferred the stock as
he would have does bad he known its position.
Then as to the MN. for directors' fees, which had been
drawn in his lordship's favour fromthe funds of the society,
and in his name in the same amount of investment
atacE This was done without Lad Abereorn's knowledge,
the cheque was drawn in one year and not dealt with till
another had expired. Dividends, however, upon this stock
had been paid to his lordship's bankers, and this circum-
stance coming to his notice, had led to inquiries through
his solicitor, which ended in no positive information. But
payment to the bankers—payment was made even after
the inquiries— was payment to his lordship, and therefore
in respect of this UN. his Honour thought Lord Abercorn
must be declared • contributory. What pcei-
tion he would occupy as such contributory in
relation to the other contributories would be determined
when contribution was called for. It would be an insu-
lated position. His Honour then noticed the argument on
the 45th clause of the company's act, which he said had
been most ably urged by Mr. Bolt and Mr. Bristow*, and
added that it was the duty of every person becoming, or
before becoming, a director of a concern, to ascertain by
what rules it was regulated. He was put WOO *WIZ.
and if he does not pursue it the consequences fall on himself.
The position taken up by gentleman in these matters wee
not to be regarded as nominal when it had been taken as
meaning something by those relying on it. From October,
1653, to 31st December, 1/454, his lordship will be held a
director to the extent of 1001. stock, with what result his
Honour could not then say, while he must be declared a
contributory as to 1051.

?AWLS s. hal=al.
This suit was instituted to mailmia an action which had
been brought by Mr. Barrett walk Mr. Pawle, the present
plaintiff, to recover =U. Ss., lim balance alleged to be due
for the purchase of a racehorse awned Rover. The horse,
it spooned, was originally the faded property of Mr. Barrett
soda Mr. Lister, and in September; HMO, a Mr. Clarke
agreed with Lister to purchase it for 601311.,_ with its eqpge•
manta The partite went to the office of Mr. Pawls, who le
a solicitor, and Mr. Clarke, not being prepared with the
money, requested Mr. Pawleto advance it. Mr. Pawls agreed
to this, it Wag understood that he should hold the hone as
security for his advance. He also paid 12144 to
Mr. Witherby, on account of forfeits, to which
the horse was subject, and the horse was
entered in the books of Mr. Witherby as the property
of Mr. Pawls. The home was never actually delivered over
to Mr. Pawls, but it was kept at the trainer'. in whose
poomesion it was whoa the sale took place. Part of the
arrangement was that Mr. Barrett's share of the purchase
mosey should remain in Mr. Pawleshaode for Mr. Barrett's
use. Mr. Pawls then or subsequently paid to Mr. Lister
his half of the price of the horse, afterdeducting the pay-
meat for the forfeits, but as he refused to pay Barrett his
share Barrett brought an action spittle him to recover the
money, and judgment was given for soot. by arrangement,
and the present suit was instituted to rectify the agreement,
it being contended on the part of Mr. Pawls that he was not
aware of the extent of the agreement, cad that it wan sot
intended that he should become the purchaser, but that
Clarice should be the purchaser of the horse.
Mr. Bailey sad Mr. Caklecott appeared for the plaiotiff ;
Mr. Preemie for Mr. Lister ; and 31r. Toiler and Mr. Faber
for Barrett.
Te. Vice.Chaseallor said he could not think that Mr.
Paw* who was a solicitor, and who wrote the agreement
with his own hand, was not aware of the extent it. As
between him and the vendors he was the purchaser, though
as between him end Clarke, Clarke might be the purchaser.
He should give the plaintiff three weeks in which to pay the
' balance, due to Barrett, and the oosts:of the action sad
of this auit, and if the money were not paid in that time, the
bill would lie dismissed with costa.

RILL V. MILL.

The question in this case was whether certain children.
the daughters of the testator in the cause, should be
brought up in the catholic or the protestant faith. The
facts of the cam were theta :—The testator by his will had
appointed his wife the guardian of the children, and had
directed that they should be brought up in the catholic re-
ligion. The mother was a protestant, nod she now sought
to get rid of the obligation imposed on hex by the will, on
the ground that there had been a previous unikrsteading
between her and the father that all daughters should be
brought up protestant', and that the children previous to
their father's death had in fact been brought up in that
faith.
Mr. Bolt. Yr. Kandake, Mr. Daniell, Mr. Denansp, Mr
H. Cairns, and Mr. E. R. Twos were in the case.
The Vise-Chancellor was of *pinion that there ought to
be se di:idiot given by this court for the brieging up of thane
children in the Roman catholic faith. No doubt a father
had such a control over the religious bringing up at Ma
children that nothing short of the child's welfare ought to
interfere with it. But where the father had not exercised
that tight, and as here had allowed the children to be lap.
Used and to a certain extent brought up in one faith, the
court would not interfere to unsettle their religious
inward:dos. On this ground, and not on the ground of
any prior sup gement, which was not made out to his catis-
fiction, his Honour declined to interfere as against the
mother.

HALL V. HALL AND WILLLAWL
Dr. Deane, Q.C., sad Mr. Inderwick were counsel for the
petitioner ; Dr. Spinks for the respondent. The co-respoa-
dent did not appear.
In 1856, Mr. Hall, who was described as a respectable
chemist, in Wigniorestreet, made the acquaintance of the
respondent, then • widow named Payne, and he subse-
quently took her into keeping. In September, 1657, he was
induced to many her. At first she behaved very well, but
lobe afterwards formed the acquaintance of the co-respon-
dent, who was the friend of • lb. Payne lodging in the same
house, but no relation of hers.
Emma Jenkins, the servant of the petitioner, mid her
mintier had told her on the Thursday before the great
volunteer review in Hyde-park, that Williams would send
bar tickets, sad also come to see Ler on the following Sun-
day. HA aeserdiegly came at between seven and eight in

Payne had kissed her, that Williams was very aagry about

but before then she had given witness nodes to
leave, on account of some words she had bad with her.
rt Cies-examined—Left on the 17th of November, in con-
sequence of lire. Hall's dismissal of her. Mrs. Hall alto
left on that day. On the following Monday witness re
turned to Mr. Hall's, and lived there till the following May.
Had since lived at a dressmaker's, named Jenkins—not
a relation of witness. The tinoday before Mrs. Hall went to
Ramsgate Mr. Hall said he would have a divorce. Was
DOW living at Mr. Hall's, nursing the child of Mrs. Edwards,
the sister of Mr. Hall. Had never had any one to visit

Hall never had. Wotild swear that. Was DOW 20 years

Mrs. Edwards said that she was telegraphed for by her
bvother on the 17th of November, and was present at an
interview between him and his wife. She went down on
her knees, and said she would confess all if he would fmens
her. He replied that nothing should induce him to look
over her fault., and that he would get rid of her. She
admitted that she had been with Colonel Elkinhurst, and
that she bad met another gentleman by appointment on
Deeded-bridge. Mr. Hall bad mentioned Mr. Williams's
name in respondent's presence. She pissed the night in
witness's room, and left the house on the next day but room
Mr. Randall, the petitioner's solicitor, proved that when
Mr. Hall charged his wife with adultery with Williams and
Colonel Elkinhurst, she turned to Jenkios, who wan present,
and said, " Oh Ellen, what have you bean telling ? Yon
have ruined me." She then begged for forgiveness, but she
said she bail not committed the offence imputed to her.
Could not find any such person as Colonel Elkinhtust in the
Army Lext or the Dirretory.
Dr. Spinks contended that the alleged admissions went no
further than a confession that his client had been indiscreet.
As for the evidence of the girl Jenkins, it was not worthy
of confidence, considering her own character.
The jury found for the petitioner.
THOMPSON r. THOMPSON AND BARHAM. —ANOTHER RUNAWAY

continued—l did not wish my husband
to see Major Rem's letters. Ido Dot know why. I sap.
pose that was my reason for having Major Rom's letters en-
closed to Mies Tanks. The major is an engineer in the
Hampstead-road. He is about thirty years old. After the
seen about the letter I was about the streets all night. I
walked some part of the time, and also rode in calm I find
went to my step-father's, but did not stop became he was
out. I went to the majors Donee. The major is a married
man. I sent a. boy tomy that I wished to speak with
him, and be came out and we walked up and down the
street for half an hour. We did not ride in a cab together. I
told him that my husband bad turned me out of doors,
in consequence of his having discovered the letter that
he had written to me. The major mid that he
we very sorry at having written the loiter, but
be did not advise me to go back to my husband. After I
left my husband's house I wrote him a letter (the letter
was put in and read). It was as follows :—" Oh Tom,
have pity on me, your unhappy wife, and see me one more,
sues should it be for the last time ; sad let me hear my fate
from your own lips. lam very ill—pray gnat me this last
favour." The letter was merely headed Tuesday, and bore
no signature. Some portion of the time I was away from
my husband I was in communication with Major Roes. So
far as I know ha always went by the name of Rom I never
beard that he represented himself as Mr. Jordan, a solicitor.
I believe some one said that he had done so. On
the 19th of April, Major Rosa called on me while my
husband was out. I opened the door for him. He waited
in the expectation of my husband coming home, and we
had a glass of sherry each. It was about drill time when
be came. He knew that my husband was at drill. He did
not stay until 10 o'clock at night. I have never been out
with the major in a Hansom cab, bet I once went with him
in a close Cab to Mn. Clifton's. I have never been out with
him until two o'clock in the morning and been let in by
Mary Teaks. Mrs. Tonke has never come into the room
and seen me and Major Ras very close together. I Brat

NORTHERN OIRCIIIT.—YORK, MARCH 19.
Caowig Courr.—(Before Mr. Justice Mellor.)
TIMM °MARS AT THORPE RISLEY.
Joseph Tomlinson, 32, James Watson, 28, and Emanuel
Lanier Watson, 30, were charged with feloniously throwing
gunpowder into a building occupied by John fiattersley,
with intent to destroy the same, at Rotherham, on the 21st
of Deeember, 1861.
Mr. Mauls and Mr. V. Blackburn prosecuted ; Mr. Price,
Q. 0., and Mr. C. Foster defended the prisoners.
It appsond that Mr. Hattereley was the foreman of the
nail embus in the employ of Mr. FaveU, of Thorpe Holley.
The sail makers at that place, amongst whom were the
three prisoners, were in October last on "strike." In the
third week of October there was a meeting at Thorp Hes.
ley of union men. Persil's men were then working. Tom-
linson and ooe of the Watson. were present at the meeting
referred to, and the former made use of a threat that he
would Wow Favell's men up. Subsequently the prisooers
went to work et Chesterfield and Helper. On Saturday, the
21st of Dee., a policeman in the evening met the two Wet-
ness about three-quarters of a mile from Thorpe Wesley,
end spoke to them for five minutes. That same night
an explosion took place in a shop belonging to Charles
Botcher, Met before which the three prisoners were seen
to peas at about 40 yards from Hattersley's shop. Directly
after the first explosion the men were again met running
away from that direction, and almost simultaneously en
explosion was heard in If attersley's shop. On each of these
amnions the pris,nem were distinctly recognised, and were
subsequently apprehended at Chesterfield and Eielper. It
was then found that the *inners were all away from their
homes at the time of the explosion, and there were alma
found pieces of tin and explosive instruments, which smelly
corresponded with tins aodsimilar instruments found in the
shops at Thorpe Healey, and which were those by which the
blowing up had been effected.
The defence was an overwhelming alibi, no kill than 17
witnesses being called, and three of theta policemes,te swot
! that the prime's' were two at Chesterfield and oats at Bel-
-1 per at the very time the offence was said to have bees corn-

most extraordinary alibis which had ever come ander his
observation. The jury, however, brought in a verdict of
Fourteen years penal servitude each.

court, therefore, proceeded with the trial of causes.

sod struck me. My step-father, my mother, and my
husband's mother were present at the time I left
my home. I remained at Mrs. Clifton's till the end
Si May. I saw my husband on the 10th of May, at the
Princeia's Theatre. I was with my father-in-law, my
mother, and my brother. During the performance my 1
husband came into the boa where we were, and was very
violent. We went home in a nab, and my husband followed
in a Hansom. When we arrived at the house my husband ,
jumped into the cab where I was and refused to allow me
to leave him, and we went together to Simpson's, in the
Strand, where we had supper, and then we went home to-
gether to his house, and we slept together that night. I
upraised my willingness to stay with him, but my husband
said I could not do so, and he would take me back to Mrs.
Clifton's, and 1 might remain there until he procured apart-
ments for me. He did so, and came to visit me
on the Sunday following. Another quarrel took place be-
tween us on that day, and as it was not convenient for me
to remain any longer at Mrs. Clifton's 1 left, but my hus-
band was aware of my intention to do so. When I left
Mrs. Clifton's I went to my father-in-law's for a short time,
sad then took lodgings in Kensington. While Ima staying
there my husband- wrote to me to meet him is Regent-
street, and he wanted to know where I was staying, bat I
refused to tell him, because he had caused me to be turned
away from one place where I had been staying. I did
afterwards tell him, and he came to visit me on the ith
el July, and stayed with me until the 28th of August.
I remember upon one occasion, the 26th of August, 1861,
my husband gave me a bouquet, and said that
MALLS:ma had sent it to me. I was first introduced to
Ma or Rom in 1860 by my husband. The day after my
hos gave me this bouquet, I ocompanied my hoobaed
to Willesden, which was the practice ground Si the rifle
corps to which Major Bose belonged. While I wee with
my husband I saw Major Rosa, and my husband drove him
to the railway station, but as there was no train, he drove
him back to the ground. I remember my husband reading
a letter that had been written to me by Major Ross.
Mr. Hammen —What beoams of that letter?
Radiant Ballantioe—We have got it, and shall produce it.
Rumination continued—After reading the letter my hue-
hood went upstairs and tore up the whole of my clothes. I
had only been on friendly terms with Major Ross, and he
had not been much at our house before I separated from
my husband. I had received letters from him before the
one in question. My husband left me on the day after he
tore up my clothes, and went into Norfolk, and since that
time I have not received anything from him, and I have been
living with my father-in-law ever since.
Cron-examined by Serjeant Ballantine—l understood
from my husband that he had been a considerable loser on
the Stook Exchange, but lam not aware that he was dad-
roue of reducing his expenditure. I believe he was looking

regiment of volunteers as my husband, and they were on

Major Ross, tooter cover to a young lady named Tasks. I
received all my letters under cover. I did not particularly
request that Illitjor Ross should write to me seder cover to
