ak Is e of the above objects." The
sellehle et esseeistion of the company contained only
asse pawrisioe in reference to the powers of the coin-
ry and the general effect of that provision was
to ttithe direction of the affairs of the company
directors, who were to do all things neoessay for its
due carr7ing on. The company had, in accordance with
their object, obtained alot of land in Victoria-street, and
had erected a large building as an hotel upon it. In January
last the directors entered into negotiations with Mr. Digby
Wyatt, who acted on behalf ri the India Board, for letting
• portion of the hotel to that body at the rent of 6,0001. •
year for the term of three years. In order to render the
portion of the home let tenantable for the purposes
of the India Board, • sum of 2,000/. would
have to be expended in atetahms. By one of the articles
of the agreement for letting the Secretary of State for India
was to afford the company a monopoly during the tenancy
for the amply of the premises with provision", beer, wine,
sgirits, liquors, and refreehmenta. The plaintiff, who was
a shareholder in the company, objected to the agreement
for letting to the India Board as contrary to the objects of
the company and as • comparatively unproductive me of
its capital.He therefore Bled the present bill. Upon the
motion coming on it was agreed that it should be taken as
• motion for • decree.

Mr. Ciiii•rd Jared were for the plaintiff ; Mr.
Bolt, Mr H. Cairns, Mr. Forsyth, and Mr. Cotton, ap-
peared for the defendants.
The Vioe-Chancellor said that this use could not be de.
termined upon the narrow ground of the meaning of the
wend hotel. He wee ready to assume that the main fes-
tive of the company was the carrying on of a tavern
end hotel business, and not the permanent occupation of
the building by a government board. He would &Leo as.
some that the letting off • large portion of the building to
soak • board was not consistent with the carry-
ing on of such a jade. The true question, how-
ever, was whether the proposed step was within
the power of the directors. Now the directors were
not bound to ow the whole of the hotel at once ; they
might, if they edged it expedient, open a portion of it only.
Clearly the court could not interfere to require the open.
lag of the entire hotel. But if the directors might open •
part only of the building for hotel purposes, they surely
were not bound to keep the remaining portion in an un-
productive date. This was the very position of things
which had occurred here. The directors proposed to open
part of the premises as an hotel, and to let off the re-
mainder for the purposes of the India Board. His Honour
thought this might be done, and the hill mart be dismissed
with costs.

Mr. Archibald Boyd, one of the directors of the Union
Bank of London, residing at 116 Weetbourne-grove, wee
=mooed to answer the following charge of assault
Emma Coulson, in the service of Mr. Abraham Rhodes,
of Clarendon stated that on Monday
afternoon, about hilf-pest five o'clock, she was in an
omnibus at the end of Farringdon-street, when the defendant
and several other gentlemen got in. A quarrel ensued, and
the defendant called one of them a liar, and the party ad-
dressed retaliated by calling defendant an old blackguard,
whereupon he (defendant) immedni struck at the party
with his umbrella, which after ng' of his hat came
in contact with her face, end such was the severity of the
blow that it left her with a most unequivocal black eye.
The ooadottor insisted upon the q parties leaving
the omnibus, which they did accordingly, and when the
omnibus stopped at the end of Tot.tem-court-road com-
plainant got out and returned to meet the defendant, and
upon her asking him what redress she was to have for her
black eye, he declared he had never seen her before in
his life.

Ellen Newman, the complainant's aunt, corroborated
this evidence, and added that her own little girl was also
struck with the umbrella.

The defendant said he was returning home from the
bank with two friends, Colonel Simpson and Mr. Charles
Lyall, also a director of the Union Bank of London, when
he attempted to get into the omnibus in question. A
drunken man struggled with them for admission, and after
he was in he began to use abusive Lingua^ and he (de-
fendant) knocked off his hat with his umbrella ; but he
belived it was physically imposeible for the umbrella to
have touched the complainant.
Mr. Lyall said he could only substantiate Mr. Boyd's ac-
count of the occurrence. When the complainant accosted
them she asked what money they were going to give her.
The complainant denied asking specifically for money.
She only asked for redress for the injury she had received.
She had been unable to attend to her duties for several
days, and her mistress had directed her to take out this
summons against Mr. Boyd.
Alderman Finds said the girl was perfectly justified in
aLrini for money under the circumstances. He rug-
that it was a case for compensation, but on the
rfe7ndant leaving the matter to his decision he decided
that defendant should pay complainant the sum of 20s.
for the damage she had sustained, sad 3a. for the costs
of the summons.

The money was of course immediakay paid.

A few days ago an trxtzWiliM;ryapplication was made to
the sitting magistrate by • young snea for • passport to pro-
ceed to France, producing at the same time the nommeary
recommendations and sureties as to ohmmeter and proper
conduct. In answer to the magistrate he said that he was a
journeyman shipwright, and that be wished to go to Cher-
bourg, in France, where there was plenty of work.
He was asked why he required to go to Cherbmg to
work, as there must be plenty of work la the United King-
dom ; if not in the government yards, in the private yards.
Applicant replied that a short time ago he, with about
live hundred other., were suddenly discharged from the
Portsmouth Dockyard, besides other artisans, and the rea-
sons assigned were the want of timber and other material'
to go on with the immense work in hand. The shipbuilding
troth was also just now very slack in the private yards, so
that himself and a number of others could not get work in
England. Understanding that they were much required in
the dockyard in Cherbourg and other parts of France ho
wished to go there. Fifty of the men were a short time
sgo takes away in • French vessel for Cherbourg, and all
the rest, except himself, had since followed, and had plenty
of work.

Apptissnt further added that be was not aware whether
many from other dockyards had left on the same errand,
bat he knew that numbers of English shipwrights were
working in the French dockyards.
The magistrate, after examining the applicant's security,
and finding him satisfactory, granted the application.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND
NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY AT ROBY.

The adjourned inquiry into the death of William
Taylor, the engine-driver who was lulled at Roby, oaths Lon-
don and North Western Railway, wasresumed at fit.George's-
hall, Liverpool, yesterday (Thursday), before Mr. Wybergh,
the deputy coroner. Mr. Blenkinsopp appeared for the
company,T and Mr. Atherton for the friends of the deceased,
list witness examined was Mr. Brewer, of Liver-
pool, who attributed the accident to the deficiency of pre-
ventive gavels at Roby station. The signal semaphores
should be some distance from the station, and a clump of
trees near the curve of the line removed.

Mr. T. Liverpool, agreed with the last
witness as to the deficiency of preventive signals at Roby,
and said that he thought passengers should always be en-
abled to jump out of railway carriages. The first medical
roan arrived three-quarters of an hour after the accident.
Mr. George Glynn, merchant of Liverpool, also agreed
with the preceding witnesses, and thought that there was a
great deficiency of communication between the stations on
the London and North Western Railway • but he thought
the Liverpool and Manchester line was ?rear from accident
than any other line in the kingdom.
Wm. Colton, fireman of the passenger train, said that
the deceased was with his engine three-quarters of an hour
before they left Fdgehill.
J. Roberta, station muter at Itchy, said that he doubted if
the driver of the coal train bad seen the signals in time
as his steam was not "shut off." He did not think the
speed of the coal train slackened till it was about three
hundred yards from the station. The coal train would be
about four hundred yards from the passenger train when
the signal man waved his flag. He thought that the sema-
phore signal at Roby could be seen 90111 yards off. This
was the first accident that occurred since he had been (for
thirteen years) station master at Rohy. The present
signals at Roby have been there five years. The
danger signal was hoisted as soon as the passenger
train stopped at Roby. There was a drizzliog min
at the time, whidi made the rails slippery. When
be saw the coal train approaching he had only time to
shout " Look out" to the deceased, who was under his
engine. In spite of the curve, an engine-driver, keeping a
good look out, could see 800 yards along the line. The
driver of the coal train most have seen the man at the
Roby station waving fiats. He (witness) took every pre-
caution to prevent a collision.
John Aakew signal man at Roby said that he put up
the danger signal as awnOA the train stop and he ran
400 yards towards Liverpool and waved which the
driver of the coal train said he saw, and whit he could
easily have observed 800 yards off. Had been nearly
two yeses at Roby, and had always been able to stop an
advancing train by hoisting danger signals. The engine-
driver of the coal train was quite sober.
John 13ellis, a platelayer at Roby, saw the semaphore
I signals. When he saw the coal train the steam was
shut off.

—itkitSid Church, the guard of the passenger-train, mid
that when he saw a collision was inevitable, he told the
pamengen to get out, and also shouted to the deceased to
try and get up steam. When the train stopped, the do-
ceased said they would not be detained more than a minute
OT 00.

The inquiry wan adjourned.
