THE BANK OY LONDON.

In-the case of the Bank of London v. Tyrrell, in the Rolls'
Court, London, on' Friday, Sir John Romilly gave jndg-
ment. It is considered to he an important case, involving
as it does a large amount of money, and:the names of Sir
John Shelley, Bart., M.P., the Chairman of the Bank of
London ; Alderman Sir: Henry. Muggetidge, Mr. Benjamin
Scott, the Chamberlain of 'the City of London and Mr.
Tyrrell, a gentleman holding a high position in the City of
London, and others. The case. having been heard on
previous days, Sir John Romilly proceeded to give judgment.
It appeared that Mr. Tyrrell, who is a solicitor,
was one of the founders iu connection with • Mr.
Benjamin Scott, the ; Chamberlain of the City of
London. As soon as the scheme was conceived, and
some few preliminaries arranged, Mr. Tyrrell applied
to Sir John -Shelley, Bart , M.P. for Westminster, to
become the chairman. To this proposition the lion.
baronet appeared to have had no objection, for he at once-
accepted the proposition, and was asked to name another-
director. Proposals were pqt out for the formation of the
company, and it soon appeared that it would prove a well-
supported and successful undertaking. Mr. Tyrrell had
at the outset acted in the capacity of solicitoNto the com-
pany, and when it 'was.legaily formed he was apPointed in
due form, all the acts hehad done in his individnal' capa-
city having been confirmed by an -entry to that effect made
in the books of the bank. Prior to this a Mr. Reed had
been a party with other "adventurers" to the pnrehase of
the Hall of Commerce in Threadneedle-street,
,and when
the bank, was formed Mr. Tyrrell induced the' cotnpany
to purchase it, he having previously secured a heavy
interest on it in connection with Reed, thus snaking a
large profit of it when the bank took it off their hands
Reed kept the 'matter secret, and the bank had no knowledge
that Mr. Tyrrell was making any profit out of the transac-
tion, but when they discovered what 'had been done; they
called upon him to refund on the ground that he was their
agent, and had no right to make such 'a profit. Mr.
Tyrrell denied the agency on the ground that he could not
be an agent to a non-existing company, which was the fact
when he entered into the negotiations for the purchase of
the property with Reed. The learned judge held'that Reed
would never have relinquished certain rights- he had in
favour of Tyrrell had it not been that Tyrrell was
the legal adviser of the bank, and would induce
that company to take the premises off • their hands,
enabling both of them to reap a large profit. He-
held that as this was the case, and that- as Tyrrell
was. clearly theagent of the bank, he must,aceount to the
company for all the money he had received in connection
with the Hall of Commerce over and above, that which ho-
could legally charge as their solicitor, and ,he must make an
Order to that effect. With regard to the,nnsold part of the
'property, he would make an" order appinst. Tyrrell for that
also if the directors' of the bank required-it-, but perhaps the
bank would. not insist upon that, considering the circum-
stances of the ease. Sir H. M. Cairns- said he would con-
sult with his clients, and mention the matter another day.
SirJ. Roneilly said that of course the • directors of the Bunk
of Londoa must be paid their costs.

It is stated that a portion of the armament of the screw
stcam--Frigate Orlando, 50, will consist. of Sir William Arm-
strong's guns.
