release, sad filed his bill for an account against the directors,
praying that they might be ordered to pay back to the share-
holders so mush of tae deposits as should not have been ex-
pended after deducting what had been paid by them. To
this bm a demurrer was put iu on the ground that all the
shareholdem in the company ought to base been made par-
ties to thebill. The ease of Apperhy e. Page," 10 Jurist, 998,
was relied upon by the plaintiffs ita a case precisely nailer to
the present.
The Vice Chancellor slid he had read over the case cited
is support of the bill; and. allowing fir the different circum-
'teems arising in that ease, he found this this bill was
framed exactly in accordance with the bill in " Appleby
v. Page ;" and be considered himself bound by the d. onion.
His own opinion, however, agreed with that of Vice Chan-
cellor Knight Bruce, and he should, therefore, overrule the
demurrer.

'Before Viee-ehalevitor Weight Brune.
ATTOR-INT-GEmaltAL V. BRaltlf.--COSTa OF lIFORVA-
TION.—CUAKITY SUIT.—In this case an information had
been filed at the relation of certain persons, inhabitants of
the parish of Great Rollewright, in Oxfordshire, for the
administration of a certain charity, which had been established
under an ancient grant by two Persons of the names of Preset
and Banghow, for the benefit of the poor of the above-named
parish. The ease was srgu.d in Michaelmas term by Mr.
Fooks for the relaters, and Mr. Osborne fur the defendants,
and the only question of iinpoit once was, whether the rela-
tors, who had acted u ider the advice of Mr. Lee, of Duck-
lington, u their attorney, were justified in filing this infor.
motion, and incurring a great amount of costs. The rental
of the estate was about 1201. per annum, and the costs W-
atered about SOW.
His Honour in giving judgment said that in his opinion
Humphrey Webb had not been justifiably made a party,
and the information must he dismis-ed as against him with
cone, to be paid by the rotators ; nor as against the other de-
fendants did he think the proceedings commendable. Every
purpose of the suit might have been obtained under the
Charity Act of Sir Samuel Hominy at a small expense, and
with a small amount of evident As it was, the record pre-
sented a bulky volume of litigious pleadings. In directing
that the relators should, as against the other defendants,
neither receive Dor pay costs, his Honour thought he was
dealing as leniently with the relators as the rules 01 the court
would allow.
IN Rg BUXTON SCIWOL.—COARTTY SCHOOL.—RVIOVAL
OP SCHOOLMASTBR. —By a deed, dated in the 27 t h year of King
Charles the Second, certain property at Buxton, in Derby-
shire, was conveyed to William Earl of Devonshire, Sir John
Gell and others, and their heirs, for the purpose of founding
and establishing a school for teaching Latin, English, and
writing. By the terms of the deed the schoolmaster Was to
be chosen by so many of the trustees and their heirs as
should meet every Micha Imes day yearly, or at such other
tot<s u the school should be void of a master, or by the
major part of them that should so meet; and such
schoolmaster should, from time to time, be placed therein
and displaced by the majority of tnetn, as they, in their die-
cretios, should see occasion. The present trustees, who
were appointed, together with others, by a deed dated in
1311, are the Duke of Devonshire, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Mid-
dleton, and Mr. Hcarock. In January, 1845, Mr. Holland,
who had been appointed schoolmaster in 1812, received the
following notice, which was signed only by Middleton and
Peacock, though it was admitted that the other trustees con-
curred in it: " We the undersigned hereby require end give
you notice to relinquish the situation of schoolmaster of
Buxton School, to which you were appointed in Janu
1842." The present petition was presented by Mr. Holland
under Sir Samuel ltomilly's ac', pray ing to be reinstated in
his office.—Mr. Russell and Mr. John Adams, fur the peti-
tioner, contended, first, that the trustees were irregularly ap-
pointed; and secondly, that they could not dismiss the school-
muter without assigning a reason. They had certainly a large
discretion under the deed; bat, as trustees, they could not en-
anise that discretion capriciously and arbitrarily. The
learned counsel referred to several authorities. Mr. Kenyon
Parker and Mr. Currey appeared for the respondents.
His Honour: Assuiniog that the court is in posses-
sion of all the evidence which can be obtained with
regard to the foundation and nature of this charity;
and assuming that the court has jurisdiction upon
this petition; the manner in which the case strikes me
is this : It may be and probably is true that the trustees,
or the gentleman profeseing to he trustees, who came into
that position in the year 1811, did not do so regularly. But
they, and the survivors of them, have, as I collect.
ever since the year 1811. constantly officiated and acted
as the trustees, without objection, and without question;
and the settoolmseter, whose office is now in question, was
appointed by them or some of them, in the year 1842—more
than thirty years after the date of the deed appointing them.
It appears to me, therefore, that for every purpose of the
present petition, I nowt take the appointment of the trustees
in 1811 to be regular. The next question is whether, the
trustees having, by death, been reduced to the number of ,
four, not any additional trustees being elected, it was com-
petent
to the four—the only remaining four—to act in the
execution of tke trust. I think that it was. Ido not
tee anything in the documents before me to render it
improper for the trustees to net while their number was
so small as four, though, perhaps, their number ought
to have been larger—that is to say, new trustees
should base been appointed. Then comes the question,
whether, upon these papers, I can hold that this gentleman
has acquired a freehold interest, or an interest in the nature
of a freehold interest, or an interest analogous to a freehold
interest, in his office, or in the lands, the rents of which, or
a portion of the rents of which, were to remunerate him ;
and I son of opinion that I cannot do so. I consider it to he
clear and admitted that the trustees had power, for the time
being, to remove him at their discretion. Now if that ex-
pression does not mean strictly "at their own will and plea-
sure," it means something not far removed from it. I agree
that this court cannot allow them to execute that
power corruptly, or from improper motives, as Lord
Eldon said In the Chippenham ease. But cor-
ruption and improper motives seem here to be
out of the question. It is said, however, that the trustees
had not all met though they had all concurred in the re-
moval, and that they did not assign any reason for such a
proceeding. lam of opinion that I cannot, for the purpose
of this petition, bold that they should have met, the circum-
stances being such as I have stated; and I think that they
are not bound to assign a reason, there being no ground to
say that they acted corruptly or from improper motives.
The result is that I cannot act in favour of Mr. Holland in
this case, if I am to suppose that all the materials are before
me; but the evidence does not satisfy me that a sufficient
search has been made for the deeds, which have not been
produced. lam of opinion, therefore (subject to what the
respondent's counsel may say f, that the petitioner is entitled
to have some further information on this subject.—The
respondent's counsel consented to let the petitioner have
such further information, and to allow a month for that pur-
pose. In default of obtaining it, the petition is to be dis-
missed without costa.

nurser or rune Plumose IN LONDON.—The plaintiff
in this cue was the Rev. John Letts, the rector of the pariah
of St. ()hive's, fart-street, in the City of London, and the
object of the suit was to recover from the company the sum
of 2a. 9d. in the pound for tithe, to which he claimed to be
entitled under the act for tithes in London, 37 Hen. VIII.,
s. 12, upon the • .lue of the houses taken in the parish by
the company in March, 1839, at the time they were so taken.
It appeared that for some years prior to the purchase by the
company, the rector had been in the habit of remising from
the occupiers of the houses in question a lees cam than
2a. 941. in the pound, in lieu of his tithes, and the question
upon the hearing was, whether the company were bound to
pay the fall sum of Is. 9d. in lieu of tithes upon the value of
the homes in question, or only such awns as the occupiers
had been actually in the habit of paying prior to the pur-
chase by the company.—Mr. Romilly and Mr. P. White ap-

COUNT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(sittings In nano.)
GRZOORT V. THE DCKE OF EIRUKSWICR.—APPLICA-
TION TO QUASH WRIT OF ERROR. —Tia this case Mr. Hen-
niker applied fur a rule to show cause why a writ of execu-
tion should not issue against the plaintiff, or why the allow-
ance of the writ of error should not be quashed. An action
had been brought by Mr. Barnard Gregory, formerly editor
of the Noting, against the Duke of Brunswick, and
judgment was given for the &fends.= on the 20th February,
1841. Subsequently there mail writ of error in the Ex-
chequer Chamber, and judgenaffirming the former deci-
sion was given on the 4th August, 1846. On the same day
notice of the allowance of the writ of error was served on the
attorney for the Duke of Brunswick. A writ of error was
then issued to the House of Lords, returnable during the
last session. On the 28th August parliament was prorogued
and the affidavit upon which the present application was
founded stated that, inquiry being made at the House of
Lords, no such case had been there entered, nor any.tran-
script of the record filed. Under these circumstances it was
submitted by the learned counsel that the present mi tier
ought to he granted.
The court said that with respect to the writ of error they
had no power to quash it, and iu reference to the application
fur issuing execution, they were of opinion that the affidavit
should have stated what the practice of the House of Lords
was in such matters. Without this information they could
not grant the motion.—Application refused.
SEAWARD AND ANOTUIR V. WRIGHT.—THR "ECUA-
DOR EIPIDITION."--10 this case Mr. Lush applied for •
rule to chow cause why
an order of Mr. Justice Williams, so
hold the defendant to bail should not be sot addle apes all,
davits denying the statements which had led to this grsatiag
of that order. It appeared that the action was baurgiat by
the plaintiffs to recover • sum of money for maddeary,
alleged to have been supplied by them for the parpour at dadag
out entails vessels bound upon an expedition to the Ecuador,
but which vessels were seized by the custom-house e/gers,
on the 19th November last, under the authority of die Fo-
reign Enlistment Act. The affidavit upon which oh. order
of Mr Justice Williams was obtained stated, amongst various
other matters, that the defendant resided at Ecuador, and had
come to this country for the purpose of fitting out Om expe-
dition in question ; that after the capture of the vessels the
defendant stated, in a conversation which took place between
the sth and Ifith Doc., that, notwithstanding the seizure, he
should carry ant his intention of going to Spain ; that upon
inquiring at the defendant's lodgings, in the Haymarket, the
landlady stated that the defendant had gone away, and did
not intend to return; that subsequent inquiries had been
made, which led to the belief that the defendant was dun
concealing himself at a house in the neighbourhood of
Euston-square, where he resided under a fictitious name;
and that, moreover, he had obtained a passport to enable
him to leave the country. In answer to these state-
ments, he (the learned counsel) was prepared with
affidavits stating that the defendant did not reside at
Ecuador, but that he had been recognised here as Consul-
General of Ecuador from the year 1837 to 1844 ; and that he
had remained in England since the latter period, except for
two short intervals of time. The affidavits on the part of the
defendant further stated, that the defendant did not make
the statement attributed to him—that he had left his apart-
ments in this Haymarket by the advice of his solicitor- —that
he was not provided with • passport, and that he had no in-
tention of quitting this country—that he was under reoogni-
sances, himself in 4001. and two sureties in 2001. each, to an-
swer a charge at the police-court to-day. These statements
were confirmed by the affidavits of Sir James Douglas
Hamilton Hay, and the defendant'e solicitor. The latter
person stated, moreover, that the police magistrate had ex-
pressed his intention to send the case for trial, in which event
the indictment would (according to information received
from the solicitor to the Truett., ) be removed by certiorari
into the Court of Queen's Bench.—The court granted a rule
to show cause.

ORSIEROD P. CHADWICK. AND OTHERS.—PURLICATION OP
NOTICES OF THE ASSESSMENT OP POOY.S. RATES.—IN
WARRANTS TO ma roam IT IS UNNECESSARY TO ALLEGE
THAT THE FACTS STATER BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES
WERE PROVED UPON OATII."—This was an action of
trespass against two justices of Lancaelfire, for having signed
two warrants to distraio the plaintiff's goods, to enforce the
payment of certain poor's rates in the township of Todmor-
den. At the trial several objections were taken, especially
to the validity of the warrants, and a verdict was ultimately
entered for the plaintiff, subject to a motion to enter one for
the defendants upon the questions reserved. Accordingly, a
rule nisi was subsequently granted and fully argued last
term. Mr. Baines, Q C., and Mr. Hall, who supported the
verdict, contended that the publication of the notices of the
assessment was illegal. The statute required that they
should be posted " at or near the doors of all churches and
chapels in the parish or place," and they had not been put
, up at an old church in the parish, but only on one of the
doors of a new one. It was contended that this form of pub-
lication having been substituted (by the 17th Geo. II.) for
the " public proclamation" of the assessment previously
requisite, it should be equally public, and the notices should
be posted at " all" the doors of "all" the churches
and chapels in the parish. The old church, at which no
notices had been posted, was still used for christeninr,
burials, and vestry meetings, although it was acknowledged
divine service had not been performed there for ten or twelve
years. It was also objected that the warrants were bad in
form for not stating that the facts upon which they were
issued had been proved "up 'a osth." For the defendams
it was maintained, by Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Addison,
that the notices were sufficient. The new church having
been regularly consecrated and substituted for the old sue,
for so many years, with the consent of the parishioners, was
de facto the only church at which the notices need be posted.
The object of the statute was not that every inhabitant should
have direct personal notice of the rates, but that sufficient
publicity should be given to prevent the parish officers from
making clandestine assessments. As to the warrants, it ss-as
submitted there was no necessity to state expressly that the
evidence taken before the defendants was " on oath," for
it appeared upon the face of the warrants that the matters
alleged had been " duly proved," and it should be presumed
that the defendants had properly performed their duty as
magistrates, and that " duly proved " therefore meant
proved " upon oath." The court having taken time to
consider,
The : Lord Chief Baron gave judgment at the sitting of the
court this morning. As to the objection urged upon the
ground that the rates were invalid, their lordship, were all
of opinion that it should not prevail. It clearly appeared
by the Ist Vitt., c. 45, and the other statutes regulating the
publication of notices of the allowance of rates, that the
legislature thought one written notice pelted upon one door
of each church or chapel in the parish was quite sufficient.
It was sot necessary that a notice should oe posted at any
of the doors of the ' old church" of Todmorden, for it had
ceased to be a church de facto for ten or twelve years, and
consequently it was no longer " a church" within the mean-
ing of the acts of parliament. As to the form of the war-
rants, the court were of opinion that the ohjections could not
be entertained. In a magistrate's order (properly so called)
to distrain for rates it was not necessary to state that the forte
upon which it was issued were proved ' upon oath." Under
these circumstances the court were of opinion that the rates
in question were valid and the warrants sufficient. The
verdict en'ered for the plaintiff should therefore be set aside,
and a verdict entered for the defendants.—Rule absolute ac-
cordiagly.

rests to contend with, and .
they had never offered terms to any boat
company which hod mot been offered to all. (Hoard Some of there
rival companies might have got the ear of Major Richardson, who
had only become the owner of his five shares the day before the meet-
ing at the George and Vulture. The marked increase in the value of
the company's stock while under the present directroa proved that
they had nut been inattentive to the interests of the proprietors.
Could they then be asked to expose the details of all their amities
