LAW INTELLIGENCE.

EQI2III'Y COURTS.—Jurga 10.
(Beton the Master of the Rolls.)
as morn, Rimier, AND ooxemrs (masa) Irzerom's

This company is being wound up voluntarily, but sub-
ject to the supervises of the court. Tha t sae was
adjourned from chambers, and arose under these circum-
stances. In May, 1606, Mr. E. Weetou, who wan then
the registered owner of 86 shares in the company, wax de-
sirous of selling the same or of getting rid of his liability,
and he applied to Mr. Wright, a mining and miscellaneous
share broker, to dispose of his 86 shares. Wright
had occasionally in his employ • relative named
Birnie, who, it was aimed, when he was in London
usually.d resided in Wright's house. Birnie pur-
e at the instance of Wright 60 of the 86 shares at
I It. per share. The transaction was wholly honk dde as
regards Mr. Weston. The transfer was executed by both
parties, in June, 1866, and in due course was forwarded
by Wright's broker to the omee of the company for regis-
tration on the 19th of June. The remaining 36 shares
were sold to Mr. Harvey, and the transfer thereof was ex-
ecuted in August, 1866, and forwarded to the company for
regiati ation hi the usual manner. As regards the treader
of all the share', repeated applications were made by the
broker to the secretary to forward the Ganders and certi-
ficate& registered in the name of the purchasers, and after
two months bad elapsed the secretary returned the atria-
cates,kc., of the 60 shares,with an intimationthat thedirec-
ton declined to register the transfer of those shares, on the
ground that Birme's address could not be and
was incorrectly described in the transfer. As the
transfer to Harvey, the directors imply declined to
register it. Mr. Weston, who was made acontributory, now
&pilled that his name might be removed from the register,
and the names of Harvey and Bilis inserted instead.
The question was whether the directors had a discretion
and bad y exercised it in respect to the rejection of
the wars of Mr. Weeton's shares. Clauses of the
artiees were relied upon as to this, the 14th of which
stated that the directors might refuse to register the trans-
fer of any share in either of the following case : " If the
transfer is made by • member who is indebted to the
company," and "If the transferee shall fail to comply
with the request made in pursuance of the nest
article," namely, " Before approving or registering
any instrument of transfer of any share the directors may,
if they think fit, require the transferee to produce to and
leave with the secretary fur examination the certificate of
the share proposed to be transferred." The petition to
wind up was presided in July, 1866, and stood over in
order to give the company an opportunity to determine
whether they would wind up voluntarily under the super-
vision of the court, which they resolved on Nov. 30.
Mr. Roxburgh, Q.C., and Hr. Martin were for Mr.
Weston, and Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., and Mr. Westlake an
the other side. _ _

—ilia Lordship after ownmenting upon the facts and cir-
cumstances of the Me, dismissed Mr. Weston's applica-
tion, but without ousts. The liquidators' costs out of the
estate.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before the Recorder.)
Themes Stephen Beek, 39 years, deecribed as a painter,
wan indicted for feloniously marrying Mary Ann Kernel,
his first wife, Ruth, being alive.
Mr. Metcalfe conducted the prosecution, and Mr. F. 11.
Lewis appeared on behalf of the prisoner.
The tint marriage took place in Wiltshire in 1853, and
the plates afterwards lived for six or seven years in Bath,
and had two children. The prisoner then left his wife,
and came to London, where he became acquainted with
Miss Bernet, the daughter of • solicitor, whom he seduced
and married in 188 d. The certificates of the two marriages
were
L e w
td in evidence, and • Mr. B
whom the lackwell, residing
the,reiding
Mary second
wife lodged after their marriage, deposed that the prisoner
treated her very unkindly, and that the nurse who at-
tended at her confinement was obliged to leave the house
after remaining two days, in consequence of the
prisoner's conduct. The father of the second wife, Mr.
Nernst, by whom the present proceedings had been
instituted, deposed to the fact the prisoner called on him,
and having informed him that he bad seduced his daughter,
requested his consent to marry her. lie represented him-
self to be a bachelor, and the witness, under the circum-
stances, gave his consent to the marriage.
Mr. F. B Lewis, on the part of the prisoner, stated that
he had left his firstwife in consequence of her adultery with
a man named Fax, by whom she had a child, and that the
second wife was perfectly aware that he was a married
nun.

Some conversation took place as to whether the second
wife should be called, Mr. ]Metcalfe stating that the young
lady was in the precincts of the court, but that he had no
desire to parade her before the public, and that he believed
she would not give any evidence prejudicial to the pri-
soner.

The Recorder said ho thought she ought to be called.
The young lady, who is of very prepossessingappear-
ance was then brought into the court, but mm ately
after taking the oath she fainted, and had to be removed
from the witness box. Consciousness having been restored
by the application of restoratives, she stated in reply to
the Recorder that she was aware that the prisoner had
a wife living when she first became acquainted with him.
Mr. Lewis, in reply to the court, said he had no wit-
nesses in attendance to prove the allegation of adultery
on the part of the first wife, and that he could not offer
evidence on the point unless the case was adjourned till
next session.

The pnaoner was found Guilty, and the Recorder ban'
tenoed him to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour.

THE POLICE COURTS.

0 UILDHALL.

As Alderman Gusto's was about to leave the beach an
elderly gentlewoman applied to his worship for his Mein,
under the following circumstantial :—About twelve months
ago her eon, Francis John Day, of IS, Princes-street,.
Rotherbi Itheezimas induced to insure in the Provincial Union
Assurance y (Limited), 4, Chatham-plsoe, New
Bridge-street, nen, and he accordingly took up •
life and sick policy, upon the terms of which he was to
receive 20s. per week during illness, and his representa-
tives 131. at his death. Be had been ill during twenty.
seven weeks, and had received thirteen weeks " sick
money," but for the rest of the time they had refused to
give him anything. When she called at the once and said
she should come to this court for redress she was told by a
clerk that they did not care for the aldermen nor anybody
else.

Mr. Martin, the chief clerk, informed the worthy alder-
man that tins was one of those uir übstantial societies
which took the subscriptions from poor people, and were
not prepared to meet the claims upon them when they
were made. He had understood that this society was now
in course of winding up in Chancery, and that an official
liquidator had been appointed.
Mrs. Day said that the agents of the society were still
collecting money for the company, and last week they
were doing so in the street next to hers.
Mr. Martin said this was a case which this court
could not interfere in, as it was a civil contract between
the parties. The court to deal with it was the county
court.

Alderman Causton regretted he could not waist the
applicant.
Mrs. Day thanked his worship, and retired.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Edward Hay, 19, Thomas Dowalell, 19, and John Wootton,
19, were charged before Mr. Newton with being concerned
together in stealing the sum of Is. from Sarah Burgess, a
little girl, aged 12.
The prosecutrix having satisfied the court of the obliga-
tion of an oath, was sworn, and deposed that she was
sent out by her mother to get • parcel from a shop. Her
mother gave her two two-shilling pieces, and she carried
them in her hand. On coming to the corner of Nicholas-
street, the big one (Hey) said to her, "Come here, little
girl." Witness told him she must not stop, and was
going on ; Wootton pulled her back, and Hay took the
' two two-shilling pieces out of her hand under pretence of
wrapping them np in o. piece of paper. He gave her a
paper containing two coma, and then they all ran off. On
opening it she found it only contained two penny pieces,
and she then went home and told her mother. Her mother
came out with her, and they saw the three prisoners at the
corner of a street, and, having pointed them out, they
were given into custody.
Mr. Newton remanded the prisoners.
Edward DIM 11, William Smith, and "ohm Golfer were
charged on remand, before Mr. Newton, with stealing a
pocket-book containing a cheque for 681., and acceptances
to the value of 1,1131., a pipe, and other articles.
The evidence given last Saturday, when the prisoners
were first examined, was that on that day Sirgeent
Harvey, of the IC division, caw the three prisoners work-
ing round a crowd in the Mile-end-road, and observing
them to make attempts to pick poekets,bis, with assistance,
secured them, and a person named Knowles then stated
that he bad lost his pocket-book from a pocket in his
coat, and that the prisoners most have taken it.
Mr. Knowles on Saturday deposed that he was in the
habit of standing in the Mille-e-road if he met a friend
to argue politics and religion. On Saturday afternoon he
was arguing, and had the cheque-book in question in
his pocket. It contained a chedilelflo3rl6Bll.Ltslatldi,e and

an abolition of university taste, condemned in severe terms
the L ish church system, and maintained that a redistribu-
tion of seats was waroely, if at all, less desirable than a
proper enlargement of the franchise. He advocated the
policy of non-intervention. He thought that retrenchment
was needed in our army and navy expenditure, and could
not understand why there should be an increase in it
dating the past ten years of peace. In conclusion, he ex-
pressed himself favourable towards the operations of the
Cotton Association, and said he should support the object
they had in view. The meeting passed a vote of confidence
in Ilan, and pledged itself to support him at the next
election.

SINGULAR ADVENTURE OF A CLERGYMAN.

At the Southwark police-court, yesterday, Jane
Baxter, a Bower girl, was brought before Mr. Partridge,
on remand, charged with being concerned with two men
not in custody in forcing the Rev. Richard Lee, rector of
Stepney, into • low house in Mint-street, Borough, and
robbing him of a valuable gold watch.
The evidence given by the prosecutor on a former ex-
amination was that on Monday afternoon, the let Met., he
alighted from an omnibus near St. George's Church, in
Rig -street, Borough, for the purpose of finding some
place where old coins and curiosities were sold. Between
and 4 o'clock, while looking about, he perceived the pri-
soner and another female following him, but he took no
notice of them. As he was passing • house he felt a
gentle pressure upon him, and he was forced
into • house when two men pushed him about
and one of them snatched his watch from him.
The man wbo did that wore • felt hat, and
witness struck him on the head with his walking stick.
The prisoner was in the house, and assisted in the rob-
bery. He denied having spoken to her in the street, and
giving her money to go with him into a house. He never
told her to go on before and he would follow her. He did
not follow her, awl never saw her until he was forced into
the house and robbed.

The prisoner now denied the prosecutor's statement, and
called Emma Jones, a Sower girl. She said she knew the
prisoner as selling towers in the street, and living in
Duke-street, Mint. Between two and three o'clock on
the afternoon in question she was passing up the Borough,
on her return home, and shortly before she was about to
tarn into the ]fiat she saw She prosecutor speak to the
prisoner, and give her some 'honey. Witness did not see
what it was, but the prisoner took it into her hand, and
turned down Mint-street, followed by the muter.
Some men were following at a short distance. W hen they
got to the corner of Duke-street the prisoner entered the
house, and the prosecutor went in after her. Witness took
no further notice of the occurrence, as such things frequently
happened in the Borough, but went home. On the for-
lowing day she met the • but nothing passed be.
twsen them relative to the robb;ry.
Mr. Partridge asked if she had seen the gentleman
since.

Witness replied that she bad not ; but on looking round
the court she pointed out the prosecutor sitting at the soli-
citors' table, and said, "That's the old gentleman that fol-
lowed the prisoner into the house."
In answer to the magistrate witness said she was a few
yards from them when she saw the prosecutor give the
girl the money and point down the street. She was within
three yards of the door when they entered the house. The
prisoner went in first, and the prosecutor followed close
alter her. There were plenty of people in the street, but
she did not notice any men near the door at the time. She
did not notice any watch and chain, and never heard of
the robbery until Wednesday, when the constable came to
their l and took the prisoner into custody.
iee, M division, informed his worship that
since the hurt examination he had ascertained that the
pro-
seoutor had given quite a different account of the robbery
at the Arbour-square police station to that he had sworn
to in this court.

Sergeant Madgan, 42 K, the acting inspector at the
Arbour-square police station, said that about haft-past
seven on the evening of Monday, the let instant, be was
on duty when the tor came in and told him that he
had been robbed of his watch and chain in the Borough.
Witness opened the occurrence book and took his stxte-
ment down in writing. He said " that between two and
three o'clock that afternoon he had been set upon by two
nun and a woman at the comer of a street in the
Borough, about a quarter of a mile from London-bridge,
that he was knocked down, and while on the ground hie
watch and chain were stolen from his waistcoat pocket."
Witness asked him if anyone came to his assistance. He
replied in the negative. Witness told him he thought it
strange that such a robbery should take place in one of the
greatest thoroughfares of the metropolis at three o'clock
in the afternoon, and no one came to his assistance,
and asked him if he had given any information of the
robbery in the Borough. The prosecutor replied that had
not, and then he described a man who he said knocked him
down, and told him he could identify him. He also gave
a de cription of the watch, which witness took down, and
sent to all the police-stations in and about the metropolis.
Mr. Pout:ridge recalled the prosecutor, and told him that
on the last examination ho swore that he gave informa-
tion of the robbery at the Arbour-square station at thee
o'clock.

The prosecutor said he was not sure of the exact time.
He may have been mistaken about that. He did not say
be had been knocked down in the street. He said he was
gently forced into a house at the corner of a street, and
his watch was stolen. Not the slightest violence was
used towards him by the man. He only took his watch.
Mr. Partridge told him his statement at Arbour-square,
and which was taken down at the time, was that he was
knocked down and robbed. How did he reconcile that ?

The prosecutor raid he did not say so. Itn7ustlye
been a misunderstanding on the part of the acting in-
spector. Witness was in a great state of excitement and
Wilflll4oll at the time. After he was robbed be did not
Five any alarm on the spot, and the reason he did not give
information of the robbery in the Borough was that he
did not know where the police-station was situated. At
Articur-square he gave a description of the man and the
pesoner.
Mr. Partridge told him that on the last examination be
swore that he could not identify any min.
Prosecutor replied that he meant that he could identify
the man who stole the watch, and not the others. lie
never maw the female witness before, and her statement
was a tissue of falsehoods.

The prisoner Wed him whether he did not give her
fourpence, and tell her to go on to a house and he would
follow her t

Prosecutor declared that he did not. He never did any-
thing of the kind.
Mr. Partridge observed that the oondect of the
mike emeased to be very extraordinary, in givingdilereat
vas ions of the alleged . He should further re-
nand the prisoner to enable the polies to make further
imp rise, bat as there appeared to be scene doubt be
agreed to accept bail for her attendance on Wednesday
