This 11111111 SSW OS from chambers, sad the question wee
whether Hr. N. I.W. Holt was liable to be held a westri-
beer la rare of 200 shares. The secretary of the ems-
cry& Mr. Bevan, Waited Mr. Holt to become a share-
ef the mimpany, by repreeentiog to him that It wee
• RilisWag compasy, sad that he could intrsduce him to
the Moselerabip. Me. Holt paid Bann 601. on aineust of
Hie Awes, and signed the deed oa the 6th of October,
um. He took his seat at the board, and 'deeded several
meatMge of the director; but becoming dissatisfied, he ten-
ding" Ids reeigestieme emd on the 16th November he went
M the Mee end abed he the deed. He obteined it, and
• be went into an user room, sad there
g
Teat hie turf. Icr the defence, the ass
▪ ersellahlug out Me same was not justified, bat It was
11106111Mied that Mr. Holt did not Illibialbe for 200 shares, sad
Mid samba was sot &Heed optosite his sinature until
Ain he had elicited the deed, sad moreover that he did
met embecribe for new shares, bat to,k a transfu from the
ether directors of the isompaity, who by that means shifted
a parties of their liability neon him.
His Honour said the erasure of the s4roatare was an un-
justifiable set, and it did sot exonerate Mr. Holt, who in his
opiaioa was liable to be • contributor to this compasy.
Amandag all that Mr. Holt stated to be perfectly 0011,0 t.
If ,he was induced by the representation of one of the
directors to become a shareholder and a director, he might
have an action against that particular direct., who deceived
him, but as bourse* himself sad all the other innocent
members of the oompaay who might be in exactly the same
situation there was the right of contribution. It was is
evidence that Mr. Holt subscribed for 200 shares, which was
the number requisite to enable him to be • director, and
honest be held to be a contributor to that amount; but it
was a question which might arise in chamber whether
those director, who had thas got rid of their shares had
thereby got rid of their liability.
Mr. Bevan appeared on b half of the official manager,
and Kr. Roxburgh for Mr. Holt.

IFILLIANINAND WILL&
auncua v. WITL—IIIONST •.

These unions were brought to newer damages for
slander; and at the that Justice Willie, in Kid-
dines, the jury gave millets for the plaiotiffe for 261 in
earth ease. Is the mane of the present term rules were
obtained to enter a nossuit in each eta', and to-day easels
was shown against these rules being made absolute.
It appeared that the plaintiffs woes formerly in the ser-
vice of the defendant—the one u cook, and the ether as
footman—and that he diseharged both of them. Be was
asked his reason for discharging them, and be stated that
they bad robbed him by ending various articles of food oat
of the home. Oa these fasts two gestations were raised,
Int whether it was a privileged isommunieation, arid ilea
whether there was any evideace of malice, as as to take
the is.. oat of the rule applicable to priv,leged eomtassi-
cations. It was said that Mr. Witt ha repeated the alleged
slander to each of the plaiatffs in the premiere of the other,
and that suck a comeannication was not privileged. It was
also said that there was evidence from which it might be
inferred that there was ea improper intimacy between Mr.
Witt and a female servant named Tout, and it was sug-
gested by counsel that Mr. Witt, fusing an exposure, had
&Gauged the plaintiffs sad afterward, fabricated the
*huge of robbery against them to joint(' the dismissal. The
evidence', it was eonteaded, showed malice, and took the
matter oat of the rule as to privilerd erommunicrtiont.
The wart, without hearing lir. Witt's counsel, held that
there was no evidence to b. left to the jury of melee.
Evidence for the jury did not mean any vague matter or
idle rumour which the eloquence of eounsel might induce a
jury to misinterpret, but humid matter from which a jury
might reasonably draw an inference of improper motive.
Ike to the other point, the alleged slander was clearly a
privileged communication.
Rules absolute for nounits.

ARCHES COURT.-JUNE 9.

Dr. Bayford replied on behalf of toe appellants, Messrs
Winterises and Beal.

Dr. Phi Smote having, with the permission of the learned
judge, Bade a few obmivatioas in reply,
Sir J. Dodsm said he would reserve his decision, and was
haying the court, when the well-known
Captain Ackerlsy said be had discovered that the learned
judge had a concurrent jars fiction with the Cued of Ad-
miralty, and he had attended to bring before Inca an im-
portant document.
Sir J. Dideou—l have no Admiralty jurisdiction what-
ever.

Captain Ackerley—Pardon me, sOr ; James the Second
panted certain rights In Atm r.ca to Prince Rupert, who
tratuderred them to Prince Ewes. Prince Eugene trans-
ferred them to the Duke of o,m ,ode, who gave there to
the Archbishop of Cunterbary. In proof of that I may
pint to that shield which hangs before you, and which
contains the arms of Canterbury and the kedge of tt
Admiralty. The meaning of "hedge" was "'gator, I
Impanel," and the otject of this application is to procure
the enobor which is upstairs, and witch is neessraty to
111110 ill the Amerioins to earn Oct tne grand jury system.
Sir J. Dodson—Bat I h‘ve not the ess.oip of the anchor
to which you refer ; and that e•. at of arm only swans that
the Arches Court and the Coin of Admiralty are both held
here. _ _

Captain Ackerley—Bat I 8%, you have the custody cf
the anchor. This man, oir—c ',atoned the guest captain,
putting forward the "Indigo Chief," by ethos he is
always attended—is the oily rrson authcrised to present
the letter I leave mentioaed. It coataini, you will find, all
the historical Information bearing on the subject. I only
address you because this man is not able to speak Baghah
eery well.
The Indian this hid the Lotter on the table, and wee
immediitely pitted on the back be his master, who told
him he had " done his duty." The gallant captain then
quitted the court, leaving the spictltors Oct a little ado-
efitid at so unusual an inter's' Con of the quiet r dating of
" the Commons."
