THE LONDON EASUILANCE COMPANY O. 111011E0. —IN-
dURANCH —ALLEGED WILFUL DEATHI'CTION UP A SHIP.
Mr. Bethel' snd Mr. Cairns showed cause in this
case against dissolving an injunction to restrain the
defendants, Joseph and Benjamin Moses, merchants, of
London, from proceeding an action upon a policy
of insurance effected in tke London Assurance Company
upon the cacao of • ship called the Adolph Ottamar
It was stated by the bill that • cargo of bristles and leathers
had be, n shipped by Meuse. Fiichel and Co. of Konigsberg,
and assigned to the defendants, who had insured the curge:r,r
a sum of 2,0001. ; other goods had been shipped at the stoma
place by ether ptraons, and an insurance of 8,0001. bad 'peen
effected upon such other goods. The bill stated that ship
was lost on its voyage home; that Menne Fischel had alleged
that the fillip had struck upon a reef of rocks off th.e coast of '
Jutland, that she had been abandoned by her crew, and had
sunk ; that the plaintiffs had reason to believe this story was
not correct, but that, in tact, the master of the ship, who
war named Wilimaun, had purposely 'wired holes in the
bottom of the ship, end she hail ciinsequently gone downs;
that previnusly to this her cargo hod been partially re-
movid, and stones had been tiiken in to supply the place of
cargo ; that the mast r had been prosecuted upon • charge
to this effect, and was now confined in prison. The bi'l
charged that the defendants haul teen privy to the sinking
01the ship, and it prayed that the policy of insurance effected
with the plaintiffs might on this ground be delivered up to
be cancelled, and that the proceedings at law commenced by
' the defendants on the policy might be stayed. By the
answer of the Messrs. Fisenel it was indignantly. denied
that they knew anything whatever concerning the
facts laid to their charge, that circumstances had
come to their knowledge which led them to be-
lieve it was possible the ship had not struck on the
rocks, as was first reported, but that they were not in any
manner concerned in the matter, that there were no cir-
cumstances in the case which could not be fairly brought
forward upon the trial at law, and therefore that the injunc•
tion ought to be dissolved.—Mr. Stuart and Alt. Osborne
appeared for the defendants.
The Vice, Chancellor said he thought it was possible that
there might have been a fraud committed by the master of
the ship without the defendant* knowing anything about it :
but still it was possible that such a fraud might have been
effected under such circiountances as would prevent
the defendants, although perfectly innocent, from obtaining
the benefit of the policy. His honour considered that the
answer of the deka IVA/ was perfectly fair and upright ;
but certainly there appeared to bison) have been various
facts stated which did not agree with what he considered to
he the ordinary way of conducting mercantile transactions.
His opinion was however, that the action which had been
commenced would not have the effect of trying the question
which was set up in equity. Ile should, therefore, continue
the injunction.

POLICE.-yEziTZRDAY.
WORSIIIP.STREET.—Cortiatox.--John Mat wu
charged with having, by reckless and furious driving, caused
considerable lounge to a hmkney omnibus.—John Law-
rence the driver of the omnibus, stated, that while proceed-
ing along the Clapton-road on the previous evening he saw a
cart, driven by the defendant, and in which were several
other men, three women, and some children,coming t Avant.
him at a most teckles+ puce. He pulled up his horses and
called loudly to the defendant to avoid a collision, which
appeared inevitable, but the latter took no notice, and the
cart instantly dished with such violence on to the omnibus
that the splinter bar was shattered and part of the ironwork
broken, and the wholeof the persons in the cart pitched out
into the road. Some of the won en, who appeared to be
stunned and very much cut and injured, were lying under
the teet of the horse, which was plunging furiously, and had
not the conductor immediately jumped down and seemed it
they would most probably have lost their lives. The de-
fendant, who was very much intoxicated, wee detained
until the arrival of a policeman and given into costAy.—
Robert Sutton, the conductor of the omnibus, and another
witness, glee a similar account of the transaction, and proved
that the omnibus was on its proper side of the road, which
was wide enough to admit of the passage of several other
carriages.—Mr. Hummill ordered the defendant to pay the
full penal'', of Os. for furious driving, en addition to the
, amount of damage to the omnibus, which was estimated at
IL 51., or to be committed tor one month to the House of

Correction.
C L ERK EN W EL L.—C it sato • or M ft (Melt.— IV. Merrick
was charged with the willul murder of Amelia Meyrick, his
wite.—Joseph Lawrence deposed that on Sunday afternoon
he was in his parlour, No. 2, London-passage, Whitecross-
au eet, when he woe attracted by a noise and scuttling out-
side. On looking out of the window he saw the prisoner
dragging a female (now deceased) by the lett arm in a vio-
lent manner. She appeared to have beau drinking. The
prisoner held her near the shoulders, and dashed her head
against a wall and some railings. He then put hip knee
against her and struck her with all his force, when she fell
down and never afterwards uttered a word or a cry. The
prisoner let her lie there, when several neighb MI proceeded
to her Resistance. The prisoner offered to pay fur a bfttle
of brandy if she was dead. A surgeon waa sent for, and the
prisoner and others helps el to carry the body into a house,
but when he arrived the woman was dead. The witness
added that during the whole of the time the prisoner was
ill-treating the deceased he was smoking a cigar—Charlotte
Westbury and Caroline Miles gave similar testimony.—
James Hooker also gave confirmatory evidence, add-
ing that the prisoner struck the deceased a mat
di pperate blow on the head with his clenched fist, when she
felt down on the ground insensible and motionless. lie after-
ward. shook the deceased violently, and she appeared to be
quite dead.—Wm. Taylor deposed that be saw the pi irons r
and the deceased together atdialf-past 10 o'clock on Sunday
intoning, when the prisoner bangle 1 h r some money, and
told her to get his dingier reedy by one o'clock. Witness
was in London-pause about two o'clock, when he saw the
prisoner 'alike her on the head with his clenched fist, and
knock her down. Heard him say, " I told you to have my
dinner ready at one o'clock." He then lifted her up and
dashed her head against the wall and some iron railings.—
Policemen Richards apprehended the prisoner. Witness
paid ne had been informed that he had killed his wife. He
denied the charge, saying he did not strike her head against
the railings.—Mr. Parker, surgeon, deposed that he was
cilled upon to ez amine the body of the deceased, which lay
at a house in London-passage. She was quite dead.—Mr.
Comb- then remanded the prisoner for a week, to the course
of which a coroner's inquest will be held upon the body.
THAMES.-OMTAININO A Core' s Its ten FAL6E PRE-
TENCES.— T. DocAlin, an lriah labourer, was charged with
obtaining a coffin by !Tawas of false pretences. The prisoner
wiked on Mr. Warrington, on the 22iitl day of last month,
produced a ccrtifica.e of Lis wilt's death. lie Torre-
esided that he was too poor to provide a c fin, on which Mr. ,
W.orrington gave him an order on Mr. Rutley, undertaker,
Four Mill-street, Bromley, to get one. The coffin was made
according to the dimensions prescribed by the prisoner, who
called Lir it on the 2-ith in company with another man. The 1
cutlin was delivered to them, and they took it away. A few 5
minutes etterwards the prisoner again called on the under
taker, and asked him to purchase the coffin Mr. Rutley f.
said his orders woe to make it, and refused to become a I
purchestr, and at the mine time advised him, if he was not
going to bury his wife in the coffin, to leave it with a
him (Mr. Rutley), and return tee order he had obtained
to Mr. Warrington. The prisoner enured Mr. Rutley
several times that he would bring his old woman in it, and
quitted the place with the coffin on his shoulders. Instead,
however, of bringing his wife in it, he sold the coffin to
another undertaker, named Walter Sanderson, for 3s. The
affair becoming known to the relieving officer, he made in-
quiries and aseertaieed that the prisoner's wife had been
actu dly interred in the Raman catholic burial ground,
Poplar, on the 23rd of July, two days before he obtained
the coffin of Itutley.—Mr. Ballantine raid the prisoner's is
conduct was highly objectionable, but he could not commit
him for the fraud.—The prisoner was then discharged. ai

COMPANY.-INJUNCTION.—Mr. Himself, Mr. Till,r, and
Mr. Spinks moved. on behalf of the plaintiff, a shareholder
in the above.mentioned company, for an injunction to re-
strain the director, from issuing the preference shares, men-
tioned in the bil., or any other shares bt sring a heed rote of
interest, or dividend of 6 per cent. per annum ; and from
raising certain sums of 150,0001. and 575,0001., ezeept for
the purposes authorised by the Oldham Alliance Itailvray
Act. 1847 ; and front carrying certain resolutions of May 31,
1848, into effect. The bill stated that the directors had
entered into contracts and incurred liabilities beyond the
powers given them by their act; and that for
the purpose of meeting such liabilities they had
created preference shares, in pursuance of the reso-
lutions above n.entioned, and according to which 1,055,0001.
authorised to be raised by the company's acts, was
to be procured by the cri ation of 105,51,0 st.ares of
101. each, to be called ausrantei d tit. per cent.
shares, which should entitle the holders to a divi-
dend of 01. per cent. per annum in preft !thee to the ills i-
dends payable to the s ,ireholdere, but without the rigid to
participate in any surplus dividends on any future issue of
shares. The plaintiff:gated that he attended the meezeg
and opposed the resolutionras illegal, and moved, hot un.
succensf oily, an am. nilment. The prayer was fora deciara•
tion negativing the power of the company to do the acts com-
plained of, and for the injunction for which the present
motion was made.
Mr. Wigram and Mr. Malice, for three shareholders who
concurred with the directors, and Mr. Bacon, Mr. It
Palmer, and Mr. J. H. Humphreys, for the directors, appear-
ed to oppose the motion, but were stopped by the Via-C &st-
eelier, who said that the hill prayed a declaration on point.
of law and matters of right and an injunction, but no other
special relief. Withou' saying that this was an objection to
the frame of 'the suit, it was clear that the motion before
the court was the whole cause. That ciocumstance
was not necessarily an objection to the motion, but his Ho-
nour was satisfied that the points raised by it were points
which must he reserved for another stage of the proceed-
ings, and in that view of the case the only point remaining
for consideration was the balance of mischief likely to re-
' suit from interfering or refusing to inter ere at this stage.
Now, looking at the particular nature of the property in.
volved in the dispute, and at the protection which the acts
of parliament themselves afforded against proceedings in con-
travention of their provisions, his Honour was of opinion
that much more mischief was likely to be done by inter-
fering now in a manner from which the court might after-
wards depart, than by declining to interfere upon the pre-
sent occasion, although it might ultimately appear that the
plaintiff was entitled to the interposition of the court. The
motion must, therefore, he refused, reserving costs.

IN THE DIATTEIL or GEO. Wit. 11IX0N, AN ALLEGED
LUNATIC, EX PASTE THE REV. Stu Geo. PILEvuIIT,
BAST.—ALLFGED ILROAL DETENTION Or A }MIMED
OVINCER AS A LUNATIC AT BATA: -In this cane an applica-
tion had here made at the instance of the alleged Lunatics'
Fri. nds Society on behalf of Mr. Geo. William Dixon, a re
tired officer of engineer., at present c infined in Northwood'
Lunatic Asylum, near Bristol, before the learned boon, for
a writ of habeas corpus, directed to Dr. Henry Hawes Fox,
the keeper of such asylum, to bring up the alleged lunatic,
and return the anthortty and cause of his detention, to ground
an application for his discharge. on the ground that the me-
dical certificates upon which be was confined impro-
perly obtained, and were no- is accordanawith the provi-
sions of the act of 8 & 'J Vict , c. 100. The affidavits in
support of the application stated that the alleg. d lunatic, who
is a single gentleman, about 48 parrot age, and in possession
of on income of about 3001. per anown, had resit!• d for the
loot six years in the same lodgings. at No. 4, South-parade.
Bath, and that during the whole of that time he heel
conducted himself with the greatest propriety, and
always appeared fully cunpetent to manage his affairs,
settliag and paying his acroutes w ith the most per.
feet clearness, but in the month of Jane last
it became necessary that he should remove from those lodg-
ings, owing to some necessary repairs, and his cousin, the
Rev. Sir George Prevost, Bart., vicar of Stinchcomb, near
Dursley, was written to cm the subject, upon which be
shortly after visited Mr. Dixon, bringing with him Dr. Wat-
son, a par) titian, and without any communication, dill, r to
Mr. Dixon or Mr. Gray, his landlord, in two days after the
interview between Sir George Prevost. Dr. Watson, and Mr.
Dixon, a keeper from the Northwoods Lunatic Anyll m ap•
peered with a note from Sir George Pre vest, that the hearer
would 'mist Mr. Dixon to remove to more comfortable lodg'
legs. He, however, r. fared to remove, upon which Dr. Wat-
son was sent for, who represented that he had given a certifi-
cate that Mr Dixon was insane, and that the keeper had suf-
ficient authority for his removal. Mr. Dixon, however, refuse d
to go, and the keeper went away, but returned the following
day with another keeper, and produced an order signed by
Sir George Preece, one of the keepers stating that they had
had to send 20 miles for another certificate, and ultimately
Mr. Dixon was forcibly removed to the asylum. lemma
tion of these circirrastaneee having bet n forwarded to
the Alleged Lanatica' Friend Society, their solicitor, Mr.
Boldin, proceeded to Beth nod Bristel, to inquire
into the circumstances attending the mow, when the irreicu
hilly in the certificates, as required by the statute of 8 & 9
Vie , cap. 100, having been di-covered, the apelication
for the writ of habeas crime was made, and Framed by
Mr. Benin Alderson, whi. h, on the 28th of Jul last, was
served on Dr. Fox at the asylum.
The case now c. me on, or, the return to the writ of
habeas corpus, from which return it appr,red that mince the
former application, only four dap before it writ w. e lodged,
Sir Geo. Prevost had sign. d an her ore r, and o'itaintd
• two other meeical certifi. ate", of 1/r. Wet n and I'r. 8
monde, upon which the alleged tun tic was Is tar detained in
the asylum. The delusions under which Mr. Dixon is
labouring being etated in the certificees, " that voices on-
tineally pursers d him in connexion with non e legal ri A-
tm, and that he spoke of having been honoyed by
persons at Bath, to and fro from K emir grin,
respecting some claims upon his brother's property ;
that he allowed himself to be questioned abruptly
about his affairs without the slightest emotion and
that his singular hesitancy of speech and self•iteration mani-
fested imbecility of mind. "I he return further sated that
Mr. Dixon was detained in puiisuance of a request from Sir
Geo. Prevost., in conk realty with the provi‘ions of the statute
8 & 9 Vie., chap. 100.—Mr. Edye appeared in support of
the return, and to oppose the application for the discharge of
Mr. Dixon, on the part of Sit G. Prevost, and at. that
the application had been made under a complete misunder-
standing of the whole case, and that the athdavits which he
was prepared to produce would sufficiently explain the case
and fully justify the course pursued by Sir G. Prevost.—Mr.
Chandler objected before the facts appearing upon the affida-
vits were gone into that the certificates were not in confor-
mity to the schedule of the act of parliament, and were, there-
fore, bad, inasmuch as they did not state that Dr. Watson and
Dr. Symonds were duly authorised to practise as such phy-
sicians, and which, by the 43rd sect. of the act, was required
to be 'feted.—Mr. Baron Alderson said the objection woe
entitled to some weight and consideration, but he wks of
opinion the most advisable course would be Mr both parties
to consent that two authorised physicians by the Court of
Chancery should visit Mr. Dixon, and examine him as to the
state of his mind, as without some such evidence he should
not be diepcsed to make any order.—After much argument
and discussion, it was finally ordered by the learned Baron
that Dr. Southey, the Lord Chancellor's commissioner, and
Dr. Alderson, should see 'lithe affidavits to be used, and see
and examine Mr. Dixon, unit that the matter should stand
over until they had made their report, he, the learned
Baron, undertaking to see those gentlemen upon the subject,
and also
to consider their report and the effidavita, and ap-
prise the pastier of his deennon.—The sue was then ordered
to stand over, and the parties withdrew.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Before Be.. Commtomer Pane.
Re R. Jawassox.—This was the day appointed for the
last examination of R. Jewesson, merchant, of Great Win-
chester-street. The examination had been adjourned from
a previous sitting for investigation of the amounts, which
now appeared in the following form, the balance sheet pri.

inspired by t'ae fermenting
ing troubles and dangers for the white creole
letspiurirtitoyf anthdatapopppreuhlaetnisoin7 soeymptonratio of impend-
inhabitants, of which a fear nil specimen was
almost contemporaneously ly Aug enacted in the
Danish island of St. Croix. Is protector more power-
ful and at hand against thy eitening eventualities than
the metropolitan state c .told be, itself far distant,
distracted and enfeeble/A by internal divisions, was
one of the objects con..emplated therefore in this pro-
jected movement, Co ncerted or not with the ruling
powers on the opporAte shore of the gulf stream.
The immediate or more prominently put forward
cause of the proposed movement among the parties
concerned was, however, fiscal oppression and finan-
cial grievance. The exports of Cuba are taxed
impoliticly, and also heavily, the imports more
heavily still, both to the bane of home industry which
should produce cheaply, and of consumption which
should be promoted on the easiest conditions in an is-
land which depends almost exclusively for bread
staffs, and exclusively for all other commodities,
clothing, and articles of luxury, on foreign countries.
The heavy taxation 'hue enforced, and the profitable
revenue derived, might be quite justifiable if intended
for, and devoted to, the improvement and fuller
development of tho industrial capacities of
Cuba. Such, however, is not, as is noto-
riously known, and never hes been the case;
revenue is exacted, not for the expendi ure and im-
provement of Cuba, upon whose inhabitants levied,
but fur the sole use and profit of a corrupt, de-
cayed, end emasculated government in Spain. It is
or ought to be well known in this country, where
loans have been periodically made to Spain upon the
security of bills upon Cuba at forward dates in antici-
pation of revenue, that that island is annually called
upon for several millions of dollars besid• s paying for
the support of costly metropolitan establiohmer,ts,
civil and military, although the latter are quite ineffi-
cient per se for the protection of the island.
The Spanish American committee have communi-
cated to us the copies of corre=pondenee between
Messrs. Maclean, Rowe, and Co., their agents in
Peru, and Mr. Pitt Adams, the British Charge
d'Affaires there. The sum and substanoe is that the
zealous agents made a representation to that official
gentleman of the unfaithful and disgraceful manner in
which the bondholders have been dealt withnand that
he, after requiring a full statementof the grievances, and
the scandalous injustice dealt oat to them, gave the
assurance, which ke would no doubt fulfil, of bring-
ing their complaints formally under the notice of his
government. The Spanish American committee are
entitled to all commendation for the perseverance
they have evinced in pressing the interests of their
oppressed constituency, and of their own, as indivi-
dually members of that constituency, upon this as
upon the Peruvian government. Tiley have, more-
over, bad excellent support in their able agents in
Lima.
