the house the complainant's portmanteau, emptied of its
canteen, was dienovered in the ketches, and also a great
number of skeleton keys sad other housebreaking imple-
ments. The prisoners living in the house at the time were

and subscriber, J. C. Parma& —P.B. I bought 16 shares
They have sent the amount of Sin odd. and ends, such as
16 gm, 101., &c. Surely that is contrary to my inane
dons.
We are not able to afford much consolation to Mr.
Peters on the subject of his letter. The transactions
in railway shares, and with respect to transfers and
registration, are conducted in a very irregular man-
ner, and it would certainly appear to be the ditty of
the Stock Exchange committee to place them on a
more satisfactory footing. It seems strange that the
transfers in question could not be effected before the
30th of September, seeing that the shares were par•
chased on the 14th of August. The books of the
London and South-Westera Company cased for the
dividend on, we believe, the 11th of August,
and therefore the transfers could not be ad-
mitted for registration before the 25th of
that month, when the books were again opened.
It might then take a week, or two or three days more,
to pass the transfers; so treat the shares duly regis-
tered might, and should, have been in the hands of
the buyer in the first week of September. In fact,
however, the transfer tickets might have been signed
by the jobber or seller at the time of sale and pur-
chase, or shortly afterwards, and delivered, although
they could not be perfected by registration before the
appointed time for the opening of the stock. The
brokers making the purchase might, moreover, have
bought in the stock in open market, at the price of the
day, against the seller or sellers who failed in delivery
according to the agreement for time. As the purchase
was for money, it in; evident that the shares should have
been delivered by the brokers duly registered, at all
events at the very earliest moment after the books of
the company were reopened, supposing the buyer did
not previously require the transfer ticket to hold him-
self until the period for registration in rived.
There is nothing particular about the delivery of
the shares in different parcels, because they might
have been purchased from different parties. But
there appears to be a gross irregularity in the distant
period to which the completion of the transaction
was procrastinated. We believe, however, that Mr.
Peters is without remedy against the parties in de-
fault. The Stock Exchange committee, it is under-
stood. have no strict and a. ttled rules for the regale-
Von of railway business as they have for business in
the funds, and they constitute the only tribunal for
reference and adjudication upon any matters in dis-
pute between members of the house and their clients
or customers, out of doors.
Letters from Exeter advise of the rather sadden
demise of Mr. Thomas Gray (the ingenious but unre-
warded improver, if not originator of the railway
system), on Sunday last, the 15th, in the 61st year of
his age.
