PETITION.
Decd LYTEDEN presented • petition from Major Gene-
, of the Indian army, complaining of the griev-
ants of the Indian often.
' THE GOYERNMINT AND THE REFORM LEAGUE.
• Tbe Na lof SHAFTESBURY--Seeing the noble earl,
the Iran Lord of the Treasury in his plans, I take the
Peel of asking him • question. There appears on various
wile in the metropolis and in the park a very long
and grandiose proolaraation signed " Edmund Bake,
resident" I shall be glad to know titan the noble earl
whether the *patents of that proclamation are correct, and
eimither it contains • correct statement of what took
rises between Mr. Beam and the Secretary of State!
The Earl of DERBY—I am very much obliged to my
noble friend for affording me an opportunity of disabusing
'oar lordships and the public with regard to the course
sod steps taken and the communications which have taken
plose between the council of the League and the govern-
ment within the last four-and-twenty hours. On the night
before, after the discussion in the House of COM-
amova, the council of the Reform League am-
asaicated to my right hon, friend, the Secretary
fir the Home Department, that they had heard
with great satisfaction the statement made by him that
light as to the Man in which be considered the law to be,
sad the conciliatory tone in which he had spoken in the
House of Commons, and stating that they were very
noxious to have an opportunity of conferring with him
net day if he would receive • small deputation. In con-
sequence of this, my right hon. friend received a depots-
lion horn the council of the leave at 2 o'clock yesterday,
when they expressed their regret at the scenes which bad
bad taken place in Hyde-park, and of course had their
own view of the matter, attributing violence to the police,
which it will not be necessary for me to enter into ; but
they exprarad every desire to prevent a repetition
of those outrages, and represented to my right hon.
friend that if they were permitted to go into
the park without any fear of being interfered
with by the police or military, or concentration
of force, they thought they might be able to persuade those
people who were still lingering there, with more or less
intention to do mischief, to retire. Some conversation
took place, which I believe is correctly reported in the
Tata of this morning, and if I only read the words of my
ight hon. friend it would appear that nothing could be
mom contrary or opposite to the statement in the placard
than what actually took place. What my right hoc.
friend did state was this :—" If you will aurae your
friends that the government will give you every oppor-
tune:6y of trying the legal right and facilitating the deter-
mination of that right, and that they ask of you in the
interim not to insist on that right until it is determined
ism way or other, that in the meantime you will
cram to your friends that the government wish to
meet them in the fairest and harken manner, as
to the opportunities they may have of discussing public
genotions in places which are recognised ea places where
fiss police would not be ordered to interfere = if you will
do that I think I see the solution of the present dif-
. In that case I will undertake to sa , that unless
say mimesis( arise to night, unless any ' be
onward, unless property be attacked—which it is my duty
Is defend—there will be no demonstrations of either
military or police." That is to say, that they might
address their friends in the park for the purpose of in-
ducting them to withdraw, and, supposing it was their
with to try the right, every facility should be given them
far so doing, but upon the condition that in
the interim no attempt should be made to midst
Etthe aterciee of that right. That eonveloateon took
between two and half-past two o'clock, and my right
friend added that he acted upon his ownresponsibility
and without communication with his colleagues. Between
fair and five o'clock my right hon. friend informed me as
to what had taken pLa, and I expressed some doubt
whether the influence of the council of the league would be
nafiloient to effect the objact they had in view,
but that I was quite willing they should try •
bet certainly nothing could be greater that;
my astonishment when I found placards posted
'Ws the whole neighbourhood of the perk, intimating
&wily the reverse of what my right bon. friend stated ;
not an intimation that they would desist, but, on the con-
*ray, that by agreement with the government the council
dee league proposed to hold a reform meeting in the
pink at 6 o'clock en Monday evening nest My right hon.
friend was just as much surprised as I waa. The fact is,
that after the deputation left, Mr. Bealee and one or two
friends returned, and asked my right bon. friend whether
be would consent to • meeting in the park on Monday
next. The answer of my right hon. friend was, that the
question was one of far too great importance for him
to answer singly that the application must
be io writing, and on 'consulting hie colleagues an answer
would be sent in writing. About half-past 5 o'clock my
right bon. friend received from Mr. Bala • letter, of
I have a copy. It states, "I am requested by the
council of this league to most earnestly press upon you the
advisability, and even urgent neneseity—as the most
if total means of putting an end to the state of
=s exasperation now existing in the public
that you will offer no opposition to the
amain proposed to be held by the league
in Hyde-park, on Mouday afternoon nest, at 6 o'clock,
spoil meeting to be held on the general subject of the
olootive franchise and reform, and to be without prejudice
la any way to the decision of the question in par-
Emmet, or in a court of law, as to the abstract
right of the people to meet for political discussion in that
art soy other parka—the council of the league undertaking
ea their part to do everything in their power to preserve
the peace and prevent any act tending to disorder." To
that letter no answer has ban returned, and yet within an
boor of that letter being sent placards appeared intimating
that the Secretary of State on the part of the government
had :assented to the holding of the meeting on Monday.
Ora of the members of the deputation was Mr. Collet, who
subsequently came to the Home-office and repudiated
he the strongest terms the proclamation of Mr. Beales.
He perfectly understood Mr. Walpole to sanction their
repairing to the park for the purpose of inducing the peo-
ple to retire, but as one of the deputation distinctly repo-
dated the absolute falsehood of the proclamation. (Hear,
bear.) My right hon friend has thought it necessary to
refer the question to his colleagues, and I hope your lord-
ships will approve of the answer hich has not yet been
sent, but which has been determined on. Her Majesty's
government have directed Mr. Walpole to acquaint the
ssencil of the league that they have no disposition what-
over to interfere with meetings in any proper place, whe-
ther meetings for the purpose of discussing reform or any
other political question ; but they feel it impos-
sible that they can give their sanction to the
bolding of meetings for this purpose in any of
fbe royal parks, although they are irate ready to afford
rainy facility to try the right. But, in the meantime, it
will be impossible for them to sanction that which they
believe to be a violation of the law. If, however, it be
their desire to bold an open-air meeting, no objection will
be vaned to its being held at Primrose-hill, but in the
=
perks it cannot be auctioned. That is the rawer
will be given, and I hope that the good wise of the
leaders of this movement, after fairly considering all
the consequences of their actions since last Mon-
day—the serious damage done, the alarm excited
is the minds of quiet pawns, the injury done to property,
end in some MOM to the anions and the impossibility of
for the conduct of those not belonging to them,
answering
tsttollow in the train of these monster procasioas—
I hope they will see that they are incurring a very serious
end grave responsibility, if, after the warning given and
the voluntary offer that they would be permitted to repair
Is Primrose-Lill, they still persist in that which we think
to be • violation of the law, and thus incur the responsi-
lity snob • realm course of proceeding. (Hew.)

THE LIONS POE THE NELSON COLUMN.
Admiral WALCOTT asked the First Commissioner of
Works as to the present towards completion of
the four lions destined to perfect and ornament the base
of the Nelson Column, and the probable time when this
national testimony to the serviced' of that late great and
heroic admiral may attain completion.
Lord J. MANNERS replied that two of the bronze lions
had been already eompleend ; • third was nearly ready ;
and it was expected that before the end of the autumn
the four lions would be established at the base of the
Nelson column.
THE COLLISION BETWEEN THE AMAZON AND
THE OSPREY.
Mr. SAMUDA. asked the President of the Board of
Trade, in reference to the collision of the Amazon and
Osprey, how ft was to be explained that the whole of the
crew of the Osprey had been saved while the passengers
committed to their charge, principall, women, had been
last ; and if it should appear that this had resulted from
an absence of all discipline on the part of the crew at the
time of the accident, if he would consider the propriety of
framing some legislative enactment with the view to avoid
the scandal such occurrences justly caused.
Mr. CAVE mid the collision took place at midnight, and
not more than three to five minutes elapsed before the
Osprey went down. When the master found the danger
was so imminent he rushed into the cable, roused the pas-
, brought them on deck, and placed them in the
ili=t, into which he went himself. Unluckily the gear
of the davits was found to be out of order, andlefore the
boat could be got clear the Osprey went down, taking
with her the lifeboat end all on board. The
master and his wife rose to the surfsce, and
were picked up by the boats of the Amason ;
the rest, including two of the master's own children and
six women never were seen again. At the moment the
ship was sinking the crew saved themselves by climbing
over the prow of the Amazon, which was then over the
quarter of the Osprey. By the 232nd se lien of the Yer-
chant Shipping Act of 1854 it was enacted that any master
or seaman wee guilty of a misdemeanour who, by
wilful neglect of his duty, omitted to do any
lawful act for the preservation of his ship and
those on board. Beyond this it was impossible to go.
Pm • person to neglect his own safety to provide for that
of others, and he was happy to say that this wm not an
uncommon thing, both in the royal navy and the merchant
service, was a matter that could not be enforced by • legal
penalty ; it was what was technically called • duty of
perfect obligation. The government did all they Gould
to encourage the performance of acts of this kind, by
granting rewards, the highest of which me the
Albert medal, recently instituted by her Majesty. It
appeared to the government that this was set • easeerr reward or punishment.

EXEIIFTION OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS FROM TAXES.
Mr. HADFIELD, on behalf of Mr. Cheatham, asked the
President of the Poor-law Board if he bad any intention
to bring in a bill at the commencement of the nazi session
to relieve schools set apart for religious instruction upon
the Sunday from liabihty to pay parochial and other rates.
Mr. G. HARDY replied that the question of exemptions
from rating was one that had latterly attracted • good deal
of attention, but he could not undertake to say that at the
beginning of next session he should be prepared to bring
in • bill on the subject.
FURTHER SUSPENSION
IN OF TH
N E HABEAS CORPUS
ACT IRELAD.
Mr. OSBORNE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, if
her Majesty's government intended to bring in • hill for
the farther suspension of the habeas corpus in Ire Land,
and if such were the case, whether they would take into
consideration the convenience of Irish members by naming
an early day for its introduction!
Lard NAAS said it would be the duty of her Majesty's
government to propose a bill for the further suspension of
the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland for a limited period. It
was the wish of the government to introduce the bill at as
early a period as wee consistent with the business of the
house ; and the convenience of the Irish members on this
subject would be consulted. (Hear, hear.)
THE HYDE-PARK RIOTS.
Mr. POWELL postponed until to-morrow the question
of which be had given notice, namely, " whether it was
proposed to repair the ravages recently committed in the
of the metropolis by sums voted or to be voted
rem moneys arming from the taxes levied on the inhabi-
tants of the United Kingdom, or whether the necessary
funds would be derived from the reetrepolis, which was
the mew of the late devastations."
Mr. EDWARDS asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether, in the present disturbed state
of the metropolis, and a possibility of the recurrence of the
disturbances that occurred last Monday and Tuesday, it
would not be advisable to enlist special constables to assist
the police to protect the parks, and also the private pet
party of indivrduals, against the conduct of what are called
the "
_of the metropolis.
Mr. WALPOLE, who spoke in so low a tone that it was
impossible to hear the greater part of his answer, was un-
derstood to say that a few days ago it was deemed advis-
able that a letter should be addressed to the magistrates,
and the different vestries in the neighbourhood of the
parks, recommending them to call on all well-disposed
persons to assist the police in quelling disturbances. He
hoped trom what had since occurred, and from what he had
beard, that there would be no necessity for putting such
measures into active operation. At any rate they would
not be resorted to until imperatively called for.
DANISH SCHLESWIG.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether he knew what portion of the
country was intended to be included in the term " Danish
Schleswig " which it was proposed that Prussia should cede
to Denmark.
Lord STANLEY said he understood that there was a
proposal that some part of Schleswig should be ceded hack
again to Denmark, but be was not able to say precisely
what portion of theSchleawig territory was included in that
proposal.
THE PRUSSIAN LEVIES ON FRANK-FORT.
Mr. OTWAY asked whether any application had been
made to her Majesty's government to arbitrate in this
matter, and if so, whether the government had committed
themselves to such arbitration.
Lord STANLEY—No, sir ,• there has been no demand
for such arbitration, and so long as the ques-
tion is one between the German population and
the German government we have no loci's
aunts. (Hear, hear.) Various representations have bee-
made about it, and I may state that it has been reported
to us that threats have been used by the officers in co e-
mend of the Prussian army in Frankfort of a very violent
character. One of those threats was, that in the evert of
the payment just referred to not being made, they would
bombard the town ; but I am bound to say that the
Prussian government strongly disclaim any such threats
having been used on their part. It does appear
from what we have heard that some language of
that kind was really used ; but I hope tie house
take the denial of the Prussian government
as indicative of the fact that such language was
not used with the sanction of the higher authorities.
The sole interference on our part has been that we asked
what protection would be afforded to British residents in
01190 of any strong measures being taken against the town.
I have seta telegram to that effect to the Prussian autho-
rities, and I may state that the assurances I have received
on that heed are satisfactory. In point of fact, the Prus-
sian government distinctly deny ever having sanctioned
or used any threat of bombarding the town.
THE COMPULSORY CHURCH RATE ABOLITION
Mr. J. MORE asked the hon. member for the city of Ox-
ford whether it was his intention to divide the house on
the moond reading of the Compulsory Church Rate Aboli-
tion Bill!
Mr. HEATS replied that it was his intention to divide
the house on the question.
THE HYDE-PARK DISTURBANCES AND THE
GOVERNMENT.
lir. B. OSBORNE—As great uncertainty and anxiety
exist in the public mind in regard to the meeting which has
been extensively placarded as being about to take place on
Monday in Hyde-park, I wish to oak the right hon. gentle-
man the Home Secretary the precise state of the cue as to
his relations with the Reform League—flavibfrli—swd
further, if he has granted permission for a meeting to
take place in the park ; and if he will state, in order to
calm the anxiety of the public mind, what precautions he
has taken for the preservation of the public peace. (Hear.)
Mr. WALPOLE—My relations with regard to the Reform II
Laws an simply the relations of Secretary of State re-
ssivieg a deputation from that body with reference
to the painful circumstances which have recently happened
In the metropolis. That is en answer to the hon. gentle-
men's first question. With regard to the second question,
s vary natural question, as to whether any meeting is to
tab place in Hyde-park on Monday next, I have to state,
and I think I can show, that a miseonceptics of a most
extraordinary kind exists on the part of the promoters of
that niseting. (gear, bear.) There are persons in this
beam end out of the house aadothers present at the inter
view whisk I had with a deputation from the Reform
League, who know exactly what took piece. Babstan-
tially aetatement made in whatis called the leading journal
1/1.1•14. Whig teak plats ces that oesedries was this

eiou
a.
in Hyde-park was the alleged right, or claim to • tight, of
admittance to that park for • public meeting, her Majesty's
government would give every facility in their power for
obtaining a legal decision on that question ; and that in the
interval nothing should be done in the assertion of, or any
attempt made to assert, that right on the one hand, and on
the other handthat nothingshouldbe done to interfere with
the determination of the question. It was then stated at
the meeting that one of the great causes of irritation at that
moment was what was called the demonstration of large
bodies of pollee, and an intimation was made to me that
if those large bodies of petit* were withdrawn, the irrita-
tion would cease, and the disturbances too. My answer
was that there was no desire on the part of her
Majesty's government to make any unnecessary
demonstration either of the police or of the mili-
tary force, and if the gentlemen who addressed
me, and who expressed their willingness, on the re-
moval of the large body of police then in the park,
to go to the park and use their best endevours
to induce the people to retire peaceably, would
do so, I undertook, on the one hand, to remove those
large bodies of police, reserving to myself, however, the
fullest power of calling out either them or the military
force in case of damage to person or property, or in the
event of danger to the public peace, and on the other hand,
those gentlemen undertook to do their best to stop the
disturbances, the unhappy and fatal disturbances, which
have taken place in the last three days. Sir, I think
I should have neglected my duty if I had
not availed myself of such an opportunity of
bringing these unfortunate matters to what, I hope,
will be • satisfactory conclusion. After that interview
was over two or three of tie members of the depu ithion came
into the room and asked the question whether Iv
Ilaiesty's government would allow a meeting on tie
question of reform to take place in Hyde-park on Monday
next. I replied distinctly that such an application as that
must be made to me in writing ; and that in writing they
should receive their reply after I had submitted their
application to my colleagues. It is elated in the
which was afterwards posted in difforen:
parts of the metropolis that the meeting should take
place on Monday next by arrangement with
the Secretary of State. Now, I have not wished to use
any language which might provoke any irritationon these
unhappy matters, and I willnot use that language nos,
but I do say that a more extraordinary misooncepthon
could not possibly have arisen. (Hear, hear.) The le:ter
of appliain, which was written to me by a Mr. Edmund
Beale*, was actually not in my hands till near 6 o'clock
yesterday evening, and the placards announcing that that
meeting was to be held must have been printed at that
time. I suppose the house would not care to hear the
letter. (Cries of " Read.") It is dated 25th July,
and I received it between 5 and 6 o'clock in
the afternoon. It is as follows :—' Sir,—l am
requested by the council of this League to most
earnestly press upon you the advisability and even the
urgent necessity, as the most effecinal means of pitting
an end to the state of dangerous exasperation now existing
in the public mind, that you will offer no opposition to the
meeting proposed to be held by the League in Rile-epark
such on Monday afternoon next at 6 o'clock, mee to be
held on the general subject of the elective fame and
reform, and to be, without prejudice in any way to the
decision of the question hi parliament, or in a court of
law, as to the abstract right of the people to meet for poli-
tical discussion in that or any otter park, the of
the League undertaking on their part to do everything in
their power to preserve the peace—(a laugh)—and
to prevent any act tending to riot or disorder.—l
am, sir, your obedient servant, Edmond Reales."
That letter shows as distinctly as words can show—inde-
pendent of the affirmation which I have already made—
that the application, which was to be made to me in writ-
ing,
.was then received, and that the answer which was to
be given by me in writing had not been given at all, and
could not have been given, for I had bad no opportunity of
consulting my colleagues I alight appeal to the witnesses
who were present. (Cries of " No, no.") I thank the
house for that expression. In justice to • most able mem-
ber of the League, whose writings are known to many
members of this house, I must say that, infinitely to his
credit, he voluntarily came to my office this day to make a
statement on the matter. He could not me me,
for I was so much engaged that I could not
see him, but he saw my private secretary, who
immediately afterwards told me what be said, and I
said it was so important that I desired him immediately
to write it down. He did so, and I believe that what I
am about to read to the house is oorrect. It is to the
effect that, " Mr. Holyoake said he had come to repudiate
in the strongest terms Mr. Braless proclamation, and that
he perfectly understood Mr. Walpole to decline to sanction
any meeting in the park, and to ask that any application
for that should be made in writing, and that he spoke to
many liberal members, and also to Mr. Beales, when that
proclamation was being made." I have only to add that
I regret this unfortunate misconception, however it
occurred, and I hear that Mr. Reales regrets
it also. To complete the statement I think
it right that I should now give the answer I sent him this
afternoon :—" Sir —I have laid your letter of the 25th
July before my colleagues, and I beg to state that, pend,ng
the judicial decision, every facility for obtaining which
will be afforded by the government, as to the legal right
of the people to hold meehngs in the royal parks, no per-
mission for such meetings can be given. In the event of
i.e being desired to hold any open-atr meeting on the sub.
ject of reform, no objection will be made on the part of her
MMajesty's government to such meeting being held on Prim-
rose-hill." The only other observation I have to make is this,
that after what has occurred I really do trust that those
who desire to promote these meetings, with a view of set-
tling this question, will notthink it necessary toaasert that
right by means like those which were had recourse to on
Monday. I further hope that on whatever side of the
house gentlemen may sit they will aid us in the mainte-
nance of those rights and privileges which her Majesty's
government believe belong to the crown. (Cheers.)
Mr. J. S. MILL—My object in rising is to make a state-
ment which I believe will be satisfactory to the whole of
the house. I ham just had an interview with Mr. Realm
and several leading members of the Reform League, in-
cluding the whole of those who were present at what may
be called the second interview with the Home Secretary,
and to which he has referred, and I have full authority from
them to say that so far as they are concerned there has been
no council of the League held, and they are not in a position
to speak for the League. (Laughter.) Do bon. members
suppose that the members of the Reform League do not
mean what they say! I tell them that they do. What I
have to sty ia thm : that these gentlemen them-elves
regret extremely that the misunderstanding el ould
have occurred with regard to the communication made to
them by the right hon. gentleman. They are certain that
the misunderstanding is in no way imputable to him.
Their interview with him left on them • most favourable
impression of his character, and disposition, and feelings—
(cheers)—and there is nothing which they would more re-
tire: than to say anything in the slightest derive offensive
to him. This beim; the case, it is unnecessary to enter
into the circumstances, though I might state some which
n fight account for the misunderstanding. The very same
otives which induced them to exert themselves to pre-
vent last night whet they firmly believrd would have te-
sull.ed in bloodshed besides other borrors—these name
motives preclude them from taking any advantage of
or acting on what is now shown to be a mis-
conception. Whether they will accept the offer of
Primrose hill, or consider that at present it is better to
abstain from say weeting altogether, I am not authorised
to state, and perhaps they do not themselves feel autho-
rised to give • decision on that offer without consulting
the council of the Reform League ; but so far as the influ-
ence of those gentlemen goes nothing will be done that can
possibly cause any dange- to the public pesos. (Cheers.)
The subject then dropped.
THE HELSTON ELECTION PETITION.

- - -
On the adjourned debate on consideration of the report
from the Holston election committee,
Mr. LOWE moved that the order be discharged.
Mite a discussion, the resolution (which was, that by
the law of parliament, in the event of equal votes being
polkd by two or more candidates, it was the duty of the
returning officer in England to return all inch candidates)
was, on a divison, negatived by 135 to 6.
THE RAILWAYS.

Oa going into committee of supply,
Xajor JERVIS moved for a commission to inquire into
tlre condition of the railways of this country as regards
tl•sir ability to fulfil their engagements to the public,
having due regard to all parties concerned.
The subject having been considered by several members,
Sir S. NORTHOOTE said that no good purpose could
be served by the issue of the commission proposed,
evecially as there was already sitting a communion to
inquire into the whole question of railways.
The motion was withdrawn.
SUPPLY.

In committee of supply,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved a
supplementary estimate of 4,9701., for a supply of gun
metal for the Prince CO6BOll Memorial ; and stated that
it was only a carrying out of an undertaking made by
the late Lord Palmerston, which was agreed to.
Mr. LOWE moved the balance of the estimate of
102,744/. for the British Museum, which showed an in-
crease over that of last year-98,164/. He stated that
many valuable additions had been made to the collection
by purchase and donation; but the evil of want of epee*
not only was not abated, but greatly incensed.
The votes were agreed to, as were the votes to
complete the estimates for the South Kensington
Museum, Irish Education, the 17Liversity etoitnit
don, Scottish Universities, Queen's University, and
Queen's Colleges (Ireland) ; Royal Irish Axdoray ;
National Gallery (Ireland) ; College of Belfast ; National
Gallery ; National Portrait Gallery ; Civil Service Defi-
ciencies ; Monument to Viscount Palmerston ; for turret
ships ; and for medical officers of the navy. The whole of
the Minds' were thew gone through.
The ether basics wee disposed of, ask the house ad-
jemmied aim* after 2 o'clook.

This most imprening meeting alunresneed yesterday, and the
great SWAM wish which it was attended gives promise of its
becoming one of the meat Important gatherings of the home
circuit. The neentive have spared wither trouble nor expense
to make the& meeting worthy of the increasing patronage it has
of late years received, and with • capital course a convenient
distance from Landon, their praiseworthy efforts, we feel sure,
will not be thrown away. The attendance wee very large, far
beyond Ind year, in tact the most sanguine supporters of the
meeting were astonished at the crowded state of the
ring and stand, the latter, one of the prettiest and best ap-
pointed in EasSend, being absolutely too small for the large
number of visitors, while a number of frublousble carriages
stationed oppoatte the stand teetined to the popularity of
the meeting with the gentry of the neighbourhood. The
course wee very hard, but this objection able feature was
somewhat obviated by capital herbage. The rain however that
threatened during the latter part of the afternoon would have
been mod welcome to owners and trainers. As will be seen, the
sport wee excellent, and the fields numerous throughout the
day, affording • marked contrast to the paltry contests at many
of UM se-called important meetings of the season. Annexed is

CASL
Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., mad Mr. Rozbuigh, appeared for Mr.
Roebuck on this motion, the object of which was the recti-
fication of the register of shareholders of the company, by
the omission therefrom of Yr. Roebuck's name.
The motion has stood ever from time to time in order to
the trial of an motion brought by the mospeuy against Mr.
Roebuck, in which one of the questions would have been,
whadser he was or was not a shareholder. The action
might have been tried at thole assizes now in program, but
no notice of trial was given by the company.
His lordship made an order in the terms of the notioe of
motion, the company who did not appear to pay the cost.
