a loan society, instituted in 1868, and afterwards regis-
tered under the Companies Act, 1862.
Thopetitioner wasthe widow andexecutris of a Mr. Mac-
douse% who had acted as secretary, manager, and banker
of the company, and there was a question of considerable
nicety on the rule', of the society as to whether the peti-
tioner was a shareholder in the company or not. It was ad-
mitted that she had claims against the company. and if she
were a creditor she would be entitled to be paid in full. If,
as the company said, she was only a shareholder, she would
Ise entitled only to share in the aseota after all debts ware
paid. The depositors in the concern were mostly artisans
end persons of small means. The trade creditors ware
none, or of inconsiderable amount.

Mr. Druoe, Q.C., and Mr. Higgins supported the peti-
tit n.

Mr. Am left, Q.C., and Mr. Bagshawe, for the com-
pany, said it wee very questionablo whether the oourt
weld say the company was unable to pay its debts.
The Vice-Chancellor said it was clear that a compulsory
winding up order would lead to a ruinous waste of the
assets; and it was arranged, with the permission of the
court. that the petitioner should take out a summons with
a view to a compromise, which is to be, heard at l o'clock
on Friday.

band wu a draper, at Canton; near Cardiff. They lived
happily together for usurers, and had two children;
but the petitioner, not being prosperous in business, went
abroad in 1864. His wife stayed first with her
parents at Tetbury ; but she afterwards became superin-
tendent of Sir Watkin Wynn's dairy at Wynnatay, and
here she made the acquaintance of George Street, an ar-
chitect and builder in the employ of Sir Watkin. Atter a
time, it was alleged that a criminal intimacy .P
up between them, and it was followed by the..i=
of twins. Some rumours having reached the petitioner
he wrote to his wife on the subject, and she may replied
that the less he inquired about her the less he w3uld hear
to ker detriment. She also suggested that he should apply
for a divorce, as " the only means of comfort to a
concerned." The petitioner then came home and insti-
tuted proceedings against her. He demanded 5001. as
damages.

allowed a verdict to be taken, subject to the wanting link

THE GOODWOOD CUP DAY.
TO TN II 11D11011 COI ?OK TCLPROMP.

81x,—quint, select, and brilliant, the fink day
of Goodwood has gone off with an film hardly expected
by the critics who took stook of the card in the morning,
for if there was only one " field" of hones, the sport
generally was most exciting, favourite after favourite
being bowled over in a way that must have been rather
galling to those who withdrew their hones under the idea
—not that the going was so bad—that they had nochance.
Polders had quite a thrilling afternoon, being early upset
when Ctiarnwood, to open the ball, stayed just a little
longer than Vespasian for the Craven Stakes; and the
Hermit confederacy must be chagrined that they did not
treat their fortunes to Knight of the Garter instead of
the old horse, who was just a little out of
his distance. So was Phoebus in the Oratwicke,
wherein another outsider, the moderate Lady Blanche
filly, managed to bowl over The Herald (and the odds
laid on the pair of old opponents, "to make sure," by
the knowing ones), after a rattling finish. The agony
was piled up when after the odds laid on Ventnor were
upset, Badaworth had to bow to the Duke of Beaufort in
the rich Levant ; and bad not Mercury ran unkindly, the
plungers on the Stewards' Cup would have had a worse
time of it, perhaps, for Vex was tiring at the finish. Whoa
the tide had turned matters progressed more smoothly,
both Belladrum and Blinkhoolie winning their racer as
easily as they were bound to do ; and I have no doubt
the "gentlemen" will take their revenge of the book-
makers before the Cup day is over. The certainties in the
programme, originally looked upon with such glee by the
prophets, may not, however, all " come off," for the
Duke of Beaufort will have all his work to do to beat
the promising brother to Ravioli in the 200 son. Sweep-
stakes for colts. Should Mr. Saville miss this, he may
take the richer sweep for finial with his Rigolboche filly,
if eke is able to get over Scintilla; and Belladram will
surely leave the Eighteenth Memorial to Ryshworth,
whilst he has the Molecomb almost at his mercy!' Vale
Royal must be the selected one for the Racing Stakes ; and
Taraban for the Sixteenth Memorial, Blueskin (in For-
mosa's absence) for the Seventeenth, Vale Royal for the 60
son. Sweepstakes, and Phcebus for theZetland, cannot well
be run away from. The defeat of Satyr in the Craven
Stakes puts him out of court for the Cup, which still reads
like a Latch between Mr. Chaplin's rose and the Duke of
Newcastle'■ purple and white, though the Goodwood Stakes
result may show Mr. Johnstone's Tyndale or Tabouret to
be in the hunt. Certain advisers wanted to persuade Mr.
Johnstone to save the young one for the Cup, OA he did
Tyndale last year; but he can hardly be so good a horse
as Speculum ; yet, if he can bowl out the hope of the
bookmakers, Suffolk, " the duke " should win either with
Jou= or his young one. Friday's events shall be dealt
with to-morrow.--I am, &c.
