NEW tCEEN'S.

I Another popular Olympic piece, :kill Wukrs
Den Deep, in which Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Wigan sustain
their ori-lita: characters, was revived at this hour- last
night in the place of the Double Marriage, with gratifying
and well-deserved success. Whatever may be thought of
the French sentiment running through this comedy, and
of the somewhat tricky, superficial character of John
Bli4l::...y—the gentleman whose depth underlies his still.
neo—there can he no question that it is one of the most
effective and interesting of our modern plays. Mrs.
Alfred Wigan was very warmly received on her first
at many points throughout the play, and she
never acted better. Her force never degenerates into
nntir„ nr.d she never forgets that she is a lady. Mr.
Alfred was as natural as ever as John Mildmay, while
Mr. C:tarles Wyndham and Mr. W. H. Stephens were
both ex,ellent as Captain Hawkslcy and Mr. Potter. Miss
Ellen Terry represents Mrs. Mildmay with grace and
ean.cstness, and the comedy, well mounted and most per-
fectly acted, will doubtless remain in the bills with The
lik•it until Christmas.

Mr. Fechter has now recovered, and will, we are
inrcrue;k7, flay Hamlet to.niorrow night, the last of his
nuinnetr.ent.

EQUITY COURTS.—Nov. 14.
(Before Viae•CLanoellor Sir J. Stuart.)
THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOLTS RAILWAY COMPASS
V. THE. IMPERIAL MERCANTILE CREDIT ASSOCIATION AND

°THERA.
This suit was instituted against the Imperial Mercantile
Credit Association and others, and came on to be heard
on the demurrers of the General Credit and Finance Com-
pany e London, and the General Credit and Discount
Company, of the assignees in bankruptcy of Sir Samuel
Morton Peto, and of Messrs. Betts and Crampton, the con-
tractors, and of Mr. G. F. Holroyd, formerly secretary and
afterwards a director of the plaintiffa' company, to set
aside the respective claims of the Imperial Mercantile
Credit Association and the General Credit Companies, in
other suite of theirs now pending against the plaintiffs ;
and for the investigation of accounts existing between
!items. Peto, Letts, and the plaintiffs. The bill in the
suit was a very long one, extending to upwards of two
hundred closely printed pages. The plaintiff.' case was
demurred to, on the grounds of want of equity and multi-
fariousness.

Mr. Greene, Q.C., and Mr. A. G. Marten appeared for
the plaintiffs • Mr. Dickenson, Q.C. ; Mr. Drum, Q.C.,
Mr. Fry, Mr. J. S. Farms, Mr. Davey, and Mr. James
Kaye for the various defendants.

The Vies-Chancellor overruled all the demurrers, with
costs.

(Before Vice•Chsnoellor Sir W. Page Wood.)

HOOLE P. THE GRAAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

This was a demurrer to a bill filed against the Great
Western Railway Company, raising the important question
of the legality of the proceeding in March last, when, as is
well known to our readers, the company resolved to pay off
the dividend then due to their shareholders by the issue to
them of new preference stock. Mr. James Boole, a pro-
priotor of ordinary stock of the Vale of Neath section of
the Great Western Railway Company, on the 7th of
bcptember last, filed the bill to restrain the company, their
chairman, deputy-chairman, directors, and oecretary, from
carrying out the above resolutions. To this bill the de-
fendants demurred for want of equity and want of parties ;
and the demurrer and motion for injunction now came on
for hearing. An attempt had been made to bring the
cause on in the vacation, but the vacation judge, Sir R.
Maims, decided that there was no necessity for taking
it out f its usual course.

Mr. Kay, Q.C., and Mr. Thomu Stevens supported the
demurrer.

They contended that the company, having powers to
issue preference stock, were fully justified in offering to
their shareholders to do, for their own interests' sake,
that which the public declined to do, namely, take up
this stock. Then if, instead of taking the subscriptions
from theirshareholders, and paying the money back tothem
again by way of dividend, the company were simply to
write off one amount against the other, what was there
illegal in such an arrangement as that The act of parlia-
ment which forbids companies to pay dividends out of
capital was passed, not in the interest of shareholders, but
of the general public, who were not concerned in the pre-
sent arrangement. They also objected that the suit was
defective, because the plaintiff assumed to represent all
other the Vale of Neath proprietors, except such as were
defendants, and only one proprietor of Vale of Neath
stock was made a defendant ; also that other sections of
the company, such as the South Wales and others, were
not represented.
The Vioe-Chancellor said he thought the bill must be
answered, but he would hear the plaintiffs on the question
of parties.
Sir R. Prihner, Q.C., Mr. Amphlett, Q.C.,and Mr. E. R.
Turner supported the bill.
Mr. Kay having replied,
The Vice-Chancellor, on the question of parties, held
that the snit was sufficiently constituted. His Honour
then observed that he had no question to decide now about
the lateness of the plaintiff's application, nor would he
pretend to say what was the exact mestere of the relief
to which the plaintiff was entitled, or whether
he was entitled to all the relief he asked.
But hero was the simple provision of the act of
parliament which he could by no means consider to have
been made in relief of the public only. The object was to
prevent a reer;less system of raising money, an evil which
was struck at by this bold and rough sort of clause. His
Honour thought this was precisely the sort of case in-
tended to be met by the section. Here was a dividend
to be paid, and this the company, being plainly without
funds, sought to pay by the creation of new capital. Hie
Honour thought this question could not be treated as
one of account, and, considering that the transaction ap-
peared at present to be a clear breach of the statute,
whether or not itcould be explained hereafter, said that
he certainly could not consent to stop the bill at this
stage. The demurrer must be overruled.
The motion for an injunction, not having been set down
to be heard with the demurrer, was not allowed to be made.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Nov. 14.
Sitting in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Bovill and
Justices Wines, Byles, and Keating.)
GRIMM!. V. BRISTOW.

The plaintiff in this case was a gentleman living near
Dorking, and at the time of the failure of Messrs. Over-
end, Gurney, and Co. he was the holder of 80 shares in
their company, upon which 151. each had been paid.
Upon the following day the plaintiff instructed his stock
brokers, Messrs. Barry and Co., to sell the 80 shares, and
they sold them to the defendants, who were stock jobbers
and members of the Stock Exchange, at Ilf discount. The
sale was for the account day, the 15th May. There had,
however, been other transactions between Messrs. Barry
and Co. and the defendants, and Messrs. Barry had bought
of the defendants 20.5 more Overend and Gurney shares
than the number they had sold to the defendants ; and the
balance of 20. i were delivered to nominees of Messrs. Barry
according to the practice of the Stock-exchange, and
the transactions between the two firms were regarded as
settled. The usage of the Exchange was not to give names
or to receive transfers of every particular share sold, hut
only for the balance of shares which should he on one side
or other on the settling day. The consequence was that
the defendants did not furnish the names of persons who
were to receive the transfer of the plaintiff', eighty shares,
and they remained registered in his name, and he had to
pay calls upon them. The plaintiff's contention was that
he had a right to recover damages from the defendants for
she lose which he bad sustained in consequence of his
shares not having been transferred and registered in the
name of the purchaser. The facts were stated upon •
special case for the opinion of the court.
Mr. J. Browne, Q.C. and Mr. Lanyon, appeared for the
plaintiffs ; and Mr. Serjeantl Hayes and Mc. Macnamara
for the defendants. _

Their lordships, after considering the matter for some
time, said the question was a very important one. and,
therefore, they would take still further time to consider it.
Judgment postponed.

Sergeant Gollop, of iicelEdivision, informed Mr. New-

night a man who gave the name of Thomas Roberts was
charged with felony and conveyed to the station house of

THE FARSHAM WORKHOUSE INQUIRY.
-•--

In the course of the inquiry yesterday,
Dr. Powell was examined. He deposed—l am medical
officer of this workhouse, and have been so sines the 3rd
of June, 1864, at a salary of 55/. with the usual
fees. I have to provide all drugs, except cod liver
oil, quinine, Burnett's disinfecting fluid and hydrochloricacid. In March last I received a grattit from the guar-
dians of 1.1/., owing to an increase of par cent. in ruy
duties after my appointment. My average of patients is
si, and 1 think I have had between 70 and 60 under my
care at one time. I was in the house when the Lancet
commissioners came. I visit the house daily from about
half-past eleven to one. The Lancet commissioners came
about 12.30. I was in utter ignorance of their coming or
that such a visit was in contemplation, nor had I taken
any step whatever to get them down. I had done my work
before they came. They had sent their cards in to the
master, and as be was going to serve dinner I took the
commissioners over the house. During the inspection I
took them to the female syphilitic wards, where there were
seven females in the upper room. I have had as many as
12 in the upper room, 10 in the lower, and seven in the
fever ward, all suffering from syphilitic disease, together
with three children. The windows in the upper ward are
nearly opposite each other, and are closed bemires the
patients frequently looked out at the windows. I have
heard the women complain of cold when the wind was in
certain points. The rooms are now in the state in which
they were soen by the commissioners. The beds were
composed of chopped straw without mattresses. When
I came I recommended chaff, but was unable to obtain it,
and chopped straw was substituted. Two of the patients
in the ward have recently died. It is no part of my duty
to look after the linen in the wards. The beds are narrow.
There were only two waterbeds for the whole infirmary
on the 12th Ottober. The water-closet apportioned to
this ward was very dark and dirty, as were all those on
the ground floor. The lavatory for the syphilitic ward is
a miserable looking room, although it would look very
well if it were cleaned and whitewashed. The cellulated
manger looks more like a urinal than a washing
place. There is no place in which the paupers
can pat their clothes. Slop basins were allowed
which held by turns beef tea, porter, or other liquid. The
paupers had to do for each other in the absence of the paid
nurse. When she was required a bell was rung. I have
known ill effects result from the curse not being in the
syphilitic wards. The yellow quart basins produced are
those used by the patients for drinking purposes. In 1863
two girls were in a dying state, who were attended by an.
other inmate of the ward. The attendant inmate placed a
hot brick sin the bed of one of these patients to warm her
feet, and by doing so set fire to the clothes, burning a por-
tion of the bed, and causing the straw to smoulder for some
time. The patient died from the shock to the system be-
fore the paid nurse arrived. The feet of the deceased were
much scorched. An inquiry was held by the Poor-law
Board, in February, 18416, the result of which was that the
board expressed an opinion that the sick ward should not
be left so long without some one in attendance.
The nurse subsequently. tendered her resignation.
There are two outside privies for the male and female
fever wards, one in each yard. I know the drains be-
neath the venereal wards frequently get choked, and the
smell is very offensive. The only water-closet for both
sexes in the fever wards is outside in the yard, and can
only be reached by going through the open air. Ido not
consider the ventilation of the lower fever ward sufficient,
but that of the upper is fair. I think the floor of the
children's day room is of tile. The only table in the room
cannot be used by the children, being too high. On the
12th October three of the children were in the female
infirmary, one of them suffering from porrigo, and the
others from psoriasis. The seven aged women were tooth-
less and decrepid. They were in the infirm women's ward,
but I do not know their ages. Three of these were
placed on No. 2 dietary, consisting of Sox. of uncooked
mutton, 15oz. vegetables, or Sox. of bread. In addition to this
they were allowed a pint of porter for dinner. The pa-
tients on dietary No. 6 had no porter. The meat, con-
sisting of beef or bacon, was cut up in lumps on the 12th
of October, and was given instead of the mutton which
was ordered. " Tepid greasiness" would aptly describe the
state of the meat on being served to the sick and infirm.
The infirm old men have a form in their room, and do not
follow any occupation. There were two particularly
fidgetty imbeciles at the time of the visit, as stated, one
of whom has since been removed to an asylum. They
were very dirty. The report in the Lased respecting an
old man, aged 80, described as • " hard-working respectable
fellow till late in life," is correct. His name is Robert
Mayhew. The other old man for 62 years a ratepayer, is
named Richard Meet. Several of the old men told the
Lancet commissioners that the late master had taken
away their newspapers.
The inquiry was again adjourned.

A MAN AND HIS WIFE SUFFOCATED. —On Wed-
nesday morning Thomas Jaques, foreman to Mr. Dunder-
dale, farmer, Thorrock-lane, Gainsborough, and his wife,
were found dead in bed. The man was not at his work at
the usual time in the morning, and Mr. Dunderdale
cordingly went to Jaques' house, which is in the stack-
yard, and knocked at the door, which was locked on the
inside. Not getting a reply, he began to think there was
something wrong, and went and tried the bedroom win-
dow, which was on the ground floor. Finding this un-
fastened, he opened it and looked in, and saw the man and
his wife lying to all appearance dead. Mr. Dunderdale
then went and examined them more closely, and found
them both cold and stiff. It I. supposed they were suffo-
cateil. In the room there was a stove containing some
cinders. Both Jaques and his wife were about fifty years
of age ; they had been employed by Mr. Dunderdale since
the harvest, and were living in the house by themselves.
THE DEFAULTING LIVERPOOL Soucnos.—Mr.
W. Stockley, the senior member of the firm of Stockley,
Wrigley, and Steekley, was yesterday afternoon adjudicated
a bankrupt. The act of bankruptcy was the alleged ab-
sconding of the debtor in order to avoid his creditors. Mr.
W. K. Tyree represented the petitioning creditor (a lady),
whose claims upon the finn, as well as upon the individual
bankrupt, are said to be large.
Thiess is COUNTY Corars.— At the last sitting
of the Tunbridge County Court, the judge, Mr. J. J.
Lonsdale, made the following observations :—" In conse-
quence of several parties having business in the court
coming in their working apparel, he wished to state that
all persons who came to that court, which was the Queen's
court, should be properly dressed, and not in their work-
ing clothes, and had they any claim for expenses he
should disallow them. He considered the court
had dwindled down in this respect as bad as
the old Court of Conscience. Of course, if parties
had no better clothe. to put on, they were to
be pitied, but generally speaking persons, when they went
out on the slightest occasion, put on their best clothes.
Very frequently people came to the county court just as
if they had been fetched out of the street to a police
court, It was very disrespectful to himself, and very
annoying to a well-dressed person to sit beside a miller or
a baker who was all in his working clothes. He cer-
tainly should be very strict in this matter in future,
and should most decidedly disallow any person expenses
who came to the court dressed in a manner which he con-
sidered was disrespectful to himself and the court."
EXTRAORDINARY FREAKS OF • WOMAN.—III
September last an individual who gave the name of
Charles Arnold applied, with excellent testimonials, for
employment as porter in the goods department of the
Great Western Railway, at Paddington. The application
was successful, and the duties satisfactorily fulfilled until
a few days ago, when, in consequent* of illness, the indi-
vidual in question was confined to bed, and on a mustard
poultice being applied by the landlady, her lodger, Charles
Arnold was found to be a woman. This discovery being
made "Charles" decamped, taking several articles with
her belonging to fellow porters who lodged in the same
house. Inquiries that have since been made elicit that
she was the same individual who a few months
ago was prosecuted and convicted for having robbed a
publican whose service she had succeeded in entering as
barman in male attire, her sex being then discovered after
she was arrested. She was sentenced to a month's ha-
priaonment and afterwards sent to a female refuge, where
she conducted herself so badly that she was expelled. She
then by some means got the testimonials which led to her
engagement on the Great Western Railway. She seems
from her early youth to have had a predilection for male
attire, and has filled men's situations of various kinds. It
is said that she was at one time porter at Jesus College,
Cambridge • at another a booking clerk on the London and
North Western Railway, at Birmingham ; then an engine
cleaner at the Great Northern Railway at King's-cross ;
and next a barman as stated above.

LACS AND HOSIBRY.—NorrtriThAW, Nov. 14.
We cannot yet report any material Improvement in any
branch of the lace trade. One or two foreign houses speak
of a few small orders having been placed for the Continent,
which somewhat relieves the long-continued depression,
but the effect of them is as yet quite inappreciable through
the general trade. The American trade him not yet begun,
and the demand for home purpoess is spoken of as more
quiet than ever.—ln the hosiery trade the feeling is very
little better, but the proapeets are somewhat brighter, u
we are close upon winter, and we already bear inquiries
for goods suitable to the cold season. Both lace and
hosiery yarns have been steady during the week.—Aut-
iiiiviiiins Juurnitt.

WOOL AND WONSTED.—Bminronn, Nov. 14.
The quietness we noticed on Monday has considerably in-
creased, and the wool market has become so inactive that
the aggregate amount of business is very small. Only a
few choice sorts of wool can be moved off, and inferior
descriptions are quite unsaleable. Spinners have covered
their requirements for the present, and are not anxious to
buy beyond them. There is less disposition in all quarters
to do business in worsted yarns, and buyers confine their
purchases to the supply of immediate wants. Prices show
considerable unsteadiness. The piece market is flat. The
high price of provisions, both at home and abroad, seriously
tells upon the demand. Manufacturers of plain goods tied
orders very warm, however willing many of them may be
to meet the buyer by making a concession in price. Fancy
goods, though generally speaking in better request, do
not move off as freely as in previous seasons. Much ma.
chinery is standing. Stocks are not heavy.

CORN.—BIRUINCHAM, Nov. 14.—At this day', market
there was a short supply of wheat from the farmers, bet
the trade ruled dull, with the turn in favour of the buyer;
but we make no alteration in our quotations. Barley Is. to
2s. per quarter cheaper. Oats only taken retail, at a re-
duction of 6d. per quarter. Beans and peas dull, but not
cheaper. The milers fell the retail Floe of flour 31.
per sack.

BlusvoL, Nov. 14.—At our market to-day the supply of
of English wheat waa moderate, and sold alowlyatbarelylaid

gave way la per qr. Melting barley more in demand, at
Last week's prices. Grinding and distilling parcels dull,
and fid. per qr. lower. Oats very fiat, and quotations
nominal. Indian corn and beans attracted scarcely any
attention.

Devizes, Nov. 14.—A great deal of the wheat ex-
hibited for sale to-day was en very bad condition, and this
may in some measure account for the further decline
which took place in priou. We have to note a reduction
of from le. to 2a per qr. upon last week, with a slow
sale, and a considerable quantity left on hand at the close
of the market ; as. a sack is now the top price. Wheat
is now quite 6a. a qr. lees than it was when the price of
bread was advanced ; but we have received no notifica.
tion of any reduction. Barley wee in large supply, but
the trade was slow, at • fall in price of 2s. per quarter.
Other articles as last week. Best white wheat, 361. to
37e. ; best red ditto, 365. to 37e. ; new ditto, 36e. to

/4xwmig, Nov. 13.—The supply of wheat was moderate.
The demand was slow at a reduction of fully ls. per qr.
The show of barley was tolerable, and the sales mach
were at le. to 2e. per qr. less money. The show of oats was
moderate, and rates were a little lower. In beans very
little alteration.

NEWBURY, Nov. 14.—We had a moderate supply of
wheat this day. The trade very quiet, and prices :3. to
13s. lower for all qualities. Barley very plentiful; malting
kinds 2s. and other sorts 34. cheaper. Beans and oats
steady at former quotations.
MAxcuserEs, Nov. 14.—Our market this morning was
tolerably well attended, and a firm feeling was apparent on
the part of sellers ; buyers, however, held aloof, and only
a limited business occurred, prices remaining the same as
this day se'nnight for each article.
Ernmwacii, Nov. 13.—As compared with last week,
wheat was mime on top, and Id. up on average ; barley
was Gd. down on top, and 2d. down on average ; oats were
&L down on top, and M. down on average ; beans ware
3s. up on top, and 4d. up on average. Wheat, 564. to tide;
barley, 355. tid. to 458. ; oats. 2us. to 3fm. ; beans, 536. to

CATTLE.—Bererol., Nov. 14.—We had a very full
supply of beef at our market to-day, including unity 150
head of cattle from Ireland. Trade was rather dull, but
a large number of country buyers being present, a more
than average amount of business was done, in most cases
at last week's prices, but rate. generally showed a decided
downward tendency. Best description. realised from Gtis.
to tile., and secondary from (10.. to Ms. The consignments
of store cattle from Ireland were large, but there was very
little demand for them and only a limited business was
done at a slight reduction in prices. The supply of sheep
wee large, and trade being active, it did not prove more
than sufficient for the demand, nearly all on offer chang-
ing bands at last week's prices, which were very
firm ; best *ethers realised fild. per lb., and
ewes and inferior descriptions sold at lid. We
had a short supply of pigs from Ireland, with
an improved demand and a slight advance in prices ;
best aorta realising 9.. per wore. English ham. pigs from
10 to 11 score weight made from 8.. to ss. Gd. ; and prime
sizeable bacon pigs and porkers from es. lid. to 9a. per
wore. A moderate trade was done in milch cows. About
an average show of horses, but only a limited business
done, at last week's rates. _ - -

Normunnw, Nov. 13.-We bad a middling supply of
beasts, which met with a brisker sale, at advanced prices,
from rte. to Bs. 6a. being given for best quality, and from
7s. 6d. to Ba. for second ditto. A good show of sheep sold
at from 6id. to 7d. per lb. heat quality and from sid. to
