OAOR.—DIABILITY TO PUTURS Stuasciarriort.
The Lard Chancellor gave judgment in this case, which
was an appeal from a dam se of Vies-Chancellor Wigram,
argued here some time back The defeatists are the
trustees of a budding society called "Thee Equitable Provii
dept Association," established is the year 1844, under the
act 6 & 7 Will. IV., c. 32, for the regulation of benefit
building societies. Ths plaintiff brume a member of the
society is 1846, and held twelve and a half shares.
Being himself a builder, and wanting money for his Duel-
nese, he raised from the society 7502 in respect of his shares,
and upon a conveyance to the defendants of certain premises
at Houton by way of mortgage, according to the rules of the
society. Being afterwards desirous to redeem the pre-
mises by payment of what was due upon the
mortgage, alter deducting the sums paid on his
shares, which was 10a. pee month for subscription on each
share, and 4e. per month for redemption moneys, the de-
fendants refused to noonvey the premises on the proposed
terms, and insisted that they were entitled to all future sub-
seriphoos on the shams until the &amitosis' of the society.
And so the Vioe-Chancellor held by his decree upon a but
filed by the plaintiff for redemption, allowing, however, the
probable duration of the society to be ascertained by the cal-
culation
of an actuary, and the future payments to be treated
as doe, on payment of which the plaintiff was to have a le-
conveyers, of the mortgaged premises.
The Lord Chancellor said he had no doubt that his
Honour's decree was well founded. There was no provision
for redemption in the deed of conveyance to the deiendants,
but the plaintiff asked that as to him the affairs of the com-
pany might be wound up and he allowed to withdraw,
offering to pay the balance due. It was obvious that as
there was no stipulation for redemption in the deed,
the plaintiff was not entitled to redeem in the ordinary
way as if there was such stipulation. On the eon-
structiost of the deed the decree was right. Thee it was
argued that to hold the plaintiff bound to his payments on
his shares during the existence of the society was a departure
from its rules, and the 62nd of the rules was particularly
referred to. But his lordship's opinion was that there was
no departure from the rules, mid to show, the his lordship
read the 37th, requiring all members to pay 10a. subscrip-
tion on each of their shares until the objects of the smote-
' lion should be accomplished. By the 42nd and 44th rules
. meetings were to be held for 'saltiest advances to share-
holders on them and for taking mortgages from purchasing
members. His lordship then referred to ruses 48, 50, ant
68, relating a mode of taking such mortgagee, and then read
the 62nd rale, by which, as the plaintiff contended, the
terms of redemption were expressed to be that the profits el
• the shares up to the time of redemption and the whole
amount of the subscriptions paid by the shareholder
' were to be deducted from the full amount secured
by the mortgage, awl on payment of the mortgage
the deeds were to be delivered up. His lordship
' could not agree in the construction of the appellant; but
taking the whole of the 62nd rule, and rewliug it in con-
nexion with the 48th sad subsequent sections, he was of
opinion that the construction put on the deed, and ruled by
the Vice-Chancellor, was correct, and that his decree pro-
ceeded on the right principle, and the appeal should be dis-
missed with costs.
THE ATTOILNRY-DRNIPAL O. MS DORPOHATION or
DIIISTIR.--DRARITY CORPORATION.
His Lordship gave his judgment in this case also, which
was an appeal from an osier of the Master of the Rolla, and
argued before the Christmas holidays. The information
was filed in 1842, for the administration of the income of
charitable estates of the Hospital of St. John the B iptist at
Cheater. The estates had been fora century end a half ad-
ministered by the muoicipaloorporation of Chester, and after
the passing of the act in 1835, for regulating muni-
cipal corporations in England and Wales, them charities
were devested out of the corporation, and trustees were ap-
pointed in the form prescribed by that act. These trustees
and the municipal corporation of Cheater were made defend-
ants to the information, and the corporation took objection
to as pleadings for want of parties, submitting that the Hos-
pital of St. John was an independent corporation, consisting
of master, brethren, and sisters, and that they were entitled
to the estates, which had been long administered by the de-
fendants, the corporation of Chester. The Masse of the
Rolls decided against that view.
The Lord Chancellor, now giving judgmeat on the appeal,
stated the variousgrants and charters relating to the hospital,
and held that there was no proof of the existence of any cor-
poration in the master, &c. He was clearly of opinion that '
this charity fell within the description of throe charities
vested in municipal corporations, and that they were pro-
perly deve,ted out of the corporation of the city of Cheater
upon the passing of the municipal act.—The appeal was then
dismissed.
PRINCE ALBERT V. STRANOR.—THE ROYAL ETCHINGS—
PUBLICATION OP a DESCRIPTIVE DATALOOUN.
Mr. J. Russell resumed and continued his reply, on be-
half of the defendant, to the arguments for the plaintiff for
continuing the injunction. The plaintiff could not claim any
property in the knowledge • hich enabled the defendant to
compile the catalogue. Attempts were made to show that
the knowledge was improperly obtained. But it was isi•
possible for th plaintiff to how it was obtained, and
whether obtained properly or sot, the plaintiff had no in-
terest in it, and no right, therefore, to call on the court to
prevent the circulation of it. Engineers and surveyors often
obtained, by committing trespass on people's lands, certain
knowledge necessary for planning a railway. There was a re-
medy against them persons for the trespass, if they were found
committing it, but could they be prevented from eommuni.
eating the knowledge they soobtatned ? Such knowledge had
been frequently laid before the houses of parliament, and no
one ever thought of restraining the communication of it by
an injunction. Sir James Clerk some time ago filed a bill
for an injunction against &quack medicine vender to restrain
him from tilling" Sir J. Clark's pills." The Master of the
Rolls refused an injunction, the plaintiff having no interest
in the defendant's pills.
The Lord Chancellor—Had Sir J. Clark property in any
his?
Mr. Rosati said he did not know, but the injunction was
refused because he had net property in the defendant's ad-
vertised medicine. Much of the argument for the plaintiff
went on his revolting from publicity of the works ; how,
then, was it that the pleadings, never read in this court in
technical form,foand their way into'some of the newspapers ?
Mr. M. James—That was the sot of defendant. The
plaintiff's solicitor had no part in it.
Mr. Roost denied that it was the act of defendant, and
argued that this attempt to stop the circulation of ideas and
progress of knowledge ought not to be encouraged by this
court, which ought to make a stand on its ancient ways
against all such innovations on its established rules.
The Lord Chancellor said he would give his judgment on
the first day of the sittings after term (the Bth of Feb.)

The question was, whether Mr. Angie, who received divi-
dends on shares held by his wife upon her separate estate in
the bank, was a contributory liable to the debts of the bank.
The Master held that he was. VioeChancellor Knight
Bruce held the contruy.—The Lord Chancellor, after hear-
ing Mr. Bacon in opening the appeal say that there was an
action by the company against Angas, said it would be
time enough to come to this court when that action was die-
of.

SEALLCROP v. WRIONT.—EVIDLNCIL—Paemos.
The Master had in this cause issued his warrant to prepare
his report under the decree, when the defendant Wright,
who was sued as the executor of a Mr. Francis Brookes, ar-
ranged with the plaintiff that he (Wright) should be at
liberty te carry in before the Master a further discharge,
without prejudice to theiwarnuit, to prepare the mon—
ths practice of the curt preeling hint after the above
warrant was leased flea carrying in further evidence except
by ooesent. The further discharge was accordingly carried
in by Wright, when the plaintiff bees= desirous also of
giving farther evidence In opposition to it. The Muter de.
to receive this evidence, except by aneent, which was
refused, and the plaintiff now petitioned the court to be at
liberty to carry in such farther evidence.—Marare. Tarns?
and Edema supported the petition. Mears. Respell and
C. A. Calvert opposed it.—The Master of the Bolls said it
would not be jut to debar the plaintiff from carrying in
farther evidence, otherwise the Master's report as te the dis-
charge would be made oa ex parte evidence. He should,
under the spinal cfracastance• of the case, give the
dower leave to carry in further evidence, not

an offer nearside on behalf of Mr. Tomlinson that his share
of the estate should also be sold, which would do away wilt
the anticipated tepreciation arising front an undivided
moiety being put up for sale. This offer was
accepted by the other side, and the only question
remaining was as to the money plated in the bimls—
Upon this point the Vice Chancellor amid there could be no
objection to an executor placing money received by him in
the hands of a banker, especially in a use like the present,
where the testator t.ad declared by his will that his execu'or
should not be liable fur any accidental lam occasioned to the
estate. The executer then stood in such a position that it
was a perfectly reasonable thing that he should keep the as-
counts in the manner be had done. At the time ot the ori-
ginal decree there was no dirt ction asked respecting the
meaner in which the accounts were kept, and the whole
knowledge of the state ot the affairs had been brought home
to the diliesdants, and still the matter was allowed to go on.
The failure of the bank afterwards took place, by which a
loss was occasioned to the estate. His opinion was, that no
case had been made out to show that the plaintiff had dealt
improperly with the assets, and he could not be held respon-
sible for the loss.

sittings after Michaelmu Term, 1847, when a verdict was
found hat the defendants. A rule nisi was subsequently
obtained for a new trial on the ground of misdirection, or for
judgment non übstante veredicto. The case was argued
at some length last Trinity Term, when the court took time
to consider their decision—Lori Denman now gave judg-
ment; and, on the ground of the levy not having been pro-
perly di-ected, stated it was the %Aston of the court that the

THE QUEEN V. THE NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
Lord Denman gave the judgment of the curt in this cue,
in which the corporation of Lincoln had applied fora man-
damus to be directed to the company, caning on them to
summon a jury to anew compensation for damage whirh the
corpora ion had iu-Wined in their land by the works of the
company. It woe objected by the defendants, that a jury in
the borough of Lincoln must be taken from the burgesses, all
of whom were interested in the result against the company,
and they sought to hays the matter decided by an sib water
alone. The curt were of opinion that a sutticient number
of jurors might be found in Lincoln who were not intern -tee!,
and, under any circumstances, the mandamus must unue.
THE QUEEN O. BOTCH COOMBE, ESQ.—Free REWARD.
In this case a perron called Lacier, a member of the metro-
politan fire brigade, claimed the usual reward granted to the
second engine at a fire. It appeared that a large fire broke
out in Grey's inn-lane, and the churchwarden' and IA ef.
s en of St. Andrew's, Holborn, refused to pay Loder, who
was the stand to arrive with his engine at the scene of the
fire, the customary sum of 20s. He then applied to Mr.
Coombe, the magistrate, tor a summons to compel payment,
but the magistrate declined to interfere, on the ground of
the want of jurisdiction, tee churchwardens and overseen
not having made any application on their part, and being of
opinion that they ought to fin the amount themselves. A
ru'e was subsequently obtained, calling on the magistrate
to show cause why he refused to adjudicate in the matter.
Mr. Lush now showed cause against the rule, and contended
that the keepers of parish engines were the persons to whom
rewards were properly given, and not persons connected
with other fire-engine establishm.nts —Mr. Humfrey, Q C.,
and Mr. Huddlestone, supported the rule.—The Court
thought the sum ought to be settled between the parties, but
Lit bound to make the rule absolute.

Ex PARTE ADAYS:-CONDUCT or ATTORNIVI.

Br F. Thesiger applied for a rule calling on certain atter-
Mies, whose names the learned counsel forbore to mention, to
show cause why they should not answer the matters set forth
in the affidavit upon which he moved. From the statement
of the Issued counsel it I.ppeared that he made the present
application on behalf of • Colonel Adams, who had been p.r-
suaded by the firm against whom the present application was
made to lend on mortgage the sum of 2,5001. to a Mr. Bowles.
In the year 1841 Colonel Adams called in 2501, leaving a
balance of 2,2501. .The money advanced to Mr. Bowles was
to pay interest at the rate of 6 per cent. which, together with
the principal, was to be paid off in five years. The interest
was duly paid every half-year to the solicitors of Col. Adam%
minus the incom3 tax. In Oct. 1845 a deed of assignment and
release was scot to Col. Adams fur the sum of 8501, which he
was requested by his solicitors to sign, who then told him that
as they considered he did not require the 8601. to make use
of, they had made arrangements foe re-investing it at the
same rate of interest as bed been paid by Mr. Bowles. Col.
Adams, putting full cufiienes in his solicitors, signed the
deed without ever reading it. In the year 1848 Col. Adams
was informed that a certain party was about to pass through
the Insolvent Debtors' Court, with a view to obtaining his
release from prison.—On making enquiries Colonel Adams
discovered that his 8.501. had been lent by his solicitors to this
individual. The money hod been advanced on the mortgage
of property upon which a prior mortgage of 1,4001. wu still
in existence. In the month of January is the present year
the solicitors sent in en account to Col. Adams, in which they
credited him with the sum of 1,4001 , the balance paid by Mr.
Bowles.—Mr. Judos Berle here interrupted Sir F. Thesiger,
and said that the 1-arnei counsel had shown enough to en-
title him to a rule.—Sir F. Thesiger said he was compelled
to make the present application against the whole firm, but
he was bound to say that there were some of the members
who were not mourned in the transaction.—Rule nisi
granted.
THE QUERN O. OWEN.—OPPICR or CLERK TO THE
COUNTY Cot:ay.—The Attorney-General applied for a rule
to show cause why a writ of quo: warranto should not imam

in the North Wales Circuit, calling upon him to show by
what authority le filled that office. lie made the applim-
tion on behalf of a gentleman of the name of Williams, who
had been duly appointed clerk of the county court, but hav-
ing fallen into pecuniary difficulties, the judge had
considered that he wu not fit to discharge the
duties connected with the situation. He (the Attorney-
General) had the affidavit of Mr. Williams, wko stated that
be was in court, and prepared to perform the duties of the
clerk. The act of parliament required that whoever was
appointed clerk of the County Court should remain in that
elce until he was pronounced unfit either from incompe-
tency or some other cause, which, however, did not mean
from any pecuniary embarramment. Mr. Williams wu a
highly qualified party to occupy the post to which he had
been appointed.—The Court granted the application.

Mr. BeMatins, in this case, informed the court that the
depositions were now before his lord hip. His learned
friend (Mr. Jones) appeared on behalf of the guardians of
the Holborn Union ; but he (Mr. Ballantine) did not believe
that any opposition was to be offered to Mr. Dronet's being
admitted to bail.
Mr. Justice Erie said that, from the facts contained in the
depositions before him, be was of opinion that Mr. Drown
ought to be admitted to bail. The amount would be, him-
self in 2001. and two sureties in 1001. each, or four aunties is
501. each.—Mr. Jones said that, representing the guardians
I of the Holborn Union, he should not, out of respect to the
court, urge snything.in opposition to Mr. Dronet's being ad-
mitted to bail. The bail then came forward end were duly
sworn and received.
HIOHLY v. Battattutr.—ATTLCIIMENT.
Mr. Huddlestone was instructed to apply for a rule rallies
on the under-sheriff of Worcester to show cause why a writ
of attachment should not be issued against him for having
exceeded his authority in demanding and taking an exces-
sive sum for fees for a distraint which bad been levied is this
case. The rule alao called upon the under-sheriff to show
cause why he should not pay over the excess of the sum he
had received, and why he should not pay the costs of the pre-
sent application. It appeared that the defendant was in-
debted to the plaintiff to the amount of 8761. 195., but the
under-sheriff had only levied to the extent of 791., for which
he had charged 161. 2.. By the table of dues he was only
entitled to receive 71. 18e. 6&—The court granted a rule.

In this case a rule was obtained, calling upon the plaintiff
to show cause why he should not bring into court the record
in tho action, in order for the defendant to be at liberty to
eater a suggestion to deprive the plaintiff of his meta, under
the 113th sectionof the City of Landon Small Debts Act
(11 & 12 Vic., c. 71).—Mr. hinn now showed cause against
the rule. The action was brought in the Secondaries' Court
for goods sold and delivered in the City of London against
the defendant, who resides and carries on his business at No.
Hoorgate-street, in the City, when the plaintiff recovered
a verdict for 31. 16e., and the ground of the rule was, that
the emu recovered being lees than 201. the action should
have been brought in the court ileetituted by that act. The
40th section of the 'taints gives jurisdiction to the Jude of

would be aboard by any farther esasideration. The facts
wore ample. It was the marriage of • lady with a Mr.
Chiltern 1844, and then with • Mr. Miles in 1847. The
second marriage took place whilst the first husband wee alive.
The question war. ehould the mart receive the allegation of
faculties, and is the wife entitled to alimony, and else
whether it shall receive the allegations of the
principles of the ease. The leaned Judge, is look-
ing through the whole of the ease said, Itlting the
facts to bear the strongest comerastioi pet upon them by the
counsel, the gain thought then could not be anyposeibWty
of doubt, and must, therefore. retest the allegations in re-
home to the hots of the ease before it, urbich are proved by I
the wife's own 'bowies, having her to plied any new facts.
The prised* of this wart is, that where ones a marriage has
been proved, alimony is du in all eases. While, therefore,
said the learned judge, I reject those allegations, I will
admit the allegations it aculties. I have been asked to
modify my Judgment, sf as to give thh lady an opportunity
of going up to • higher court, to be heard with $ full cese. I
do not anticipate any appeal, for I think it is generally a
useless expense of litigation ; therefore my determination is
tl reject the allegations in the principal case, end accept the
allegation of the faculties.
