will be remembered, moved a sheet while since for an injunc •
don to restrain the company front paying any dividends, now
appeared In support at a motion that the clividwds due to him
might be paid men court.
Idr. W. 11. Jamie, Q.C., for the defendants, stated that
Dra6o
k company were willing to pay these dividends to Mr.

lir. Deets said that he feared the receipt of dividends by
him might prejudice him in the questkats whinnying at lune
between him and the defendants.

The Vtes oi;ticeilorsriTtl; the case which the plaintiff
est up was this—that the company wea in that state in which
no dividends ought to be paid; it wee isocashtent with that
view that the payment of dividends should now be asked for,
even though that payment was to be made into court, Bouts-
thing might be done if any ems of actual danger to the find
was est up, but that wee not the case set up by the plaintiff.

of the minister end the churchwardens of that

It appeared that the church wee left safe on the amaing of
the 49th of December, and on the following monde, it
was disavowed thee it bad beta auseed by moms one by
meal of a window the had bra broke*, sad the mazy roes

arkimeine Mater sad Campbell were taken Into custody
charily afterwards, mad rowel of the articles that had been
stales front the church were found et their lodgings.
They jury acquitted Brown and found the other pleonere
reell mu then given that Sharpe had been before con-
viatedal bantam irmd metteeced to Shies months' hard labour,
sad that hews the mastant associate of desperate thieves.
The Bataillar asatroad Sharpe to eight, and the other two

petty of Jamb Petaak.
Mt. Claridge proescated ; the primmer was defesded by Mr.
O'Coasell.
The oftennieteare ander which this charge was preferred
against the minas, appeared to be of rather a peculiar ohs
rooter. The woroutor is a watchmaker and jeweller is
OemakM, and the prisoner -eat to hie shop and ailed to look
at mime geld watches and chides, and having at length
aided a watch, while the preentor wee making
oat his account, he raw btu' secrete a &Ma, sad the primmer
pale a deposit upon the watch and left the shop. The prose-
, outer Mulantistely followed him, mad wiled him to amine
beak, sad whoa they remena, the permitter saw the
prisoner pat his bead late hie coat pocket, led he observed
something glitter In it, and ha monied the prisoner of mea-
-1 lag the chain. Upon examining what be had got fa his
head, to his great surprise the prosecutor discovered a gold
mirk instead of the chain, which the prisoner mast have
abstracted from the tray of watches that were shows to him
In the Met instance witheat the knowledge of the prom-
' color. The prisoner then maenad that he had not stolen
any chafe, and told the prosecutor to eternise his stook, end
he then found the chain he had previously mimed, sad which
the priamer must have ingeniciasly contrived to place among
the other chair when he hued that be was snapeord.
Mr. O'Connell made • very able address to the jury for the
Weiser, and be said that if the evidence for the proem:intim
IMO to be rolled on be must have been a most able metal-
timer ia the art of legerdemain, sad that the promeater
might possibly have beta mistakes as to the mover:nests of
this_prisoaer.
The Jury retuned a verdict of Godly, and the prisoner,
who, It sported, was not known to the police, was eentinced
to twelve menthe hard labour.
Jaw Tyrsoltitt, who was yi Mayday convicted of obtaining
goods by false preleoces. wet brought up for sentence.
The Recorder, refiring to the circumstances under which
;filmset had been found guilty, said that he felt bound to
