THE LATE SIR HENRY LAWRENCE, K.O B.

Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence, where death in a sortie beneath
the walls of Lacknow was announced in our columns on Satu'day, in
toe telegraphic despatch, from India, was a very d stingniahed officer
of Irish birth and entractiun, sod one of whose-) services in India
Ireland may well feel proud. He was the eldest sox' of ear John Laird
Muir Lawrence, Chief Comesimioner for the Panj sub, being the eldest
Son of the late Lieuteaant-Colsnel Alexander William Lawrence,
some time governor of Uptror Castle, who dietinseuissaed himself by
his gallantry at Seringapateme His mother was a dot tghter of the
late Captain Knox, of the county of Donegal. He aas born at
Mattura, in Ceylon, in 180 G, and married im 1837 HoCnoria, the
youngest daughter of the Rev. Geo. Marshall, of Cardoaagra, Ireland,
but was left a widower in 1854. Having re:3614,81 his early education
at the demurs school at Londonderry, and afterwards at thee Royal
Military Co loge, Addiscombe, he entered the military services of the
Hon. East India Company, as a cadet in the. Bengal Artels rye in
1821; and soon obtained the reputation of being one of the most able,
a d energe,ic cf its officers. He served in the Catrul came algre.ainder
General eirGeorge Polleck, in 1843, end shortly afterwards rrceived
theeank of major. In the same yeaehe became British Resident at
Nepaul. He afterwards took part in the campaign on the
Sutlej, after which he was ma le a Military Companion of tile
Eath, and promoted to the rank of ilentenant-coionel. In 1816 hes
was appointed Resident at Lahore, and agent far the Governors
General on the north-western frontier. It was for his able service's
in the administration of this inportant office that he was made a
K.C.B. (evil) in 184&. In the following year he wet appointed by
Lord Dalhousie chief commissioner for the redaction and government
of the recently annexed province of Puteaab, where he increased the
opinion airealy entertained of his administrative talents, to which
allusion has frequently been male during the present crib's:el struggle.
In 1854 ha obtain -d the rank of fall/colonel, and w s also nominated
an honorary aid-de-camp to her Majesty. as a further recognition of
his merits. He was the author of Adverzeures of' an Officer in the
Service of Runfeet Singh. The firmness and ability which ha had
shown at Lneknow, in checking the progress of the recent mutiny,
must be fresh in the memory of our roe ler3. We can only add that
in Sir Henry Lawrence the Indian service and the country have lost
an officer whose head and han 1 they could very ar afford to spare in
the present Important crisis.
But it is not only as a brave soldier or as an eminent civilian that
Sir H. Lewreece will be missed, high as his character steed in both
capacities. As a frank, open, honourable, and straightforward man,
and as a generous and unselfish friend, his loss will fall as heavily on
private society in India as on the publi • service. As an instance of
his genero ity, we may mention that for many years, whilst drawing
a handsome revenue from his official employments, ha (Masted all
that he cola(' spare of his yearly salary to the foundation of an
atylum for the o Phan children of European soldiers, which bears his
name, and will long stand as a memorial of his good deeds on the hills
between Simlah and Umballeh.

bers, to be held at the Clarendon Rooms, iu Liverpool aforesaid,
aahough the piece is capable of holding ab iut 100 persons on .y.

FRANCIS & ALMOND, Plaintiffs' Attoreeys.
Liverpool, June 20, 1857.
Mr. Brett, instructed by Mr. Roby, appeared for the defendants;
and Mr. Almond, of the firm of Fr..ncis and Almond, appeared for
the plaintiffs-51r. Seger, b rrister, being instructed on their
behalf.

Upon the latter gentle-nan appearing in the court some long time
after the hour appointed, he said that the case had been formerly
heard, and the present judge (Mr. Green) was than on the bench,
not as a private spectator, but had taken part in the proceedings.
Then it was contended—and succeasfnliy—that the trustees had no
toms standi on the court, aud, therefore, they were put out of court;
but on the present occasion the compl inants were four members of
the society, and, therefore, there could not be the same objeztion ;
but the c 133 was precisely the same as before. He then re-erred to
the illegality of holding the meeting of the society at the C'arendon-
rooms, wren certain rules were abrogated, that place not being
sufficiently capacious to hold one tithe of the members, and the hour
at which it was ,onvened being most iacenvenlent for the members
to a' t _nd.
Mr. Brett contended that the court had no j arisdl ellen ,aud referred
to the plaint, which he said had been amen ed since the last occa-
sion, but he would say that the County Court had no jurisdiction in
the matter. He reviewed the different sections in the complaint
and then a'gued thit the County Coart load no jurisdiction in the
matter, bat that it must come before the Court of Queen's Bench, and
to substantiate that argument he quoted the various sections of the
Friendly Societies' Act bearing on the subject.
After Mr. Brett load concluded bis argument,
The Depaty-Judge said r What you contend is, that the County
Court h .s the power of giving directions for acts to be done, but that
they have no power for giving an order for any acts of prohi
Mr. Brett t Exactly so.
Alit. Seger then referred to the legal point raised, contending that
Lee County Court hod jurisdiction.
The Judge said he could not be expected to decide on that lege' point
at once, and would take time to form a judgment on the subject, and
give his decision after mature consideration.
Mr. Callow, one of the plaintiffs, was then called, and he proved
that the Clarendon Rooms was not an adequate place to hold suet' a
meting of the members of concha society.
Mr. Jenkins, the secretary, was also called, and he depocod that
the plaintiffs were members of the society, and that the amended rates
had been earned by a majority of the members present.
Mr. Brett then addressed the court on behalf of the defendants, and
contended that the present woo a most miserable case, end that it hod
not been substantiated ; and that the meeting in the Clarendon
Rooms was a legal meeting, and was legally convened in accordance
with the ruins of the society ; and that the room was quite sufficiently
large enough to hold all that attended.
His Honour stated that he would give his judgment in the cage on
a future day.

MILITARY AND NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The General Commanding-in. Chief having decided that
the whole of the depots belonging to Scotch regiments
now attached to the provisional battalion, Chatham, shall
be quartered in Scotland, where they will be formed into
depot battalions, an order hae been received at Chatham
garrison by the Colonel Cornmandant, directing that the
companies of the- following Highland depots, the head
quarters of which are now in India, are to be held.
in
immediate readiness to proceed to Aberdeen, viz.:-74Th
Highlanders, with Captain W. Ross Bing, Captain C
Venables, Lieutenant B. Davies. Lieutenant R. E. Dear;
and Ensign F. Parry ;78th Highlanders (Rossshire Buffs);
together with Captain F. W. roster, Lieut. A. M`Leod,
Lieut. W. W. Young. Lieut. r, S. Fitzsimons, Ensign Ir.
Thomson, Ensign R. P. Butler, and Ensign J. N. Gower,
of that corps;• 93rd (Sutherlandshire) highlanders, with
Captain J. M. Brown, Lieut. G. It Fenwiek, and Lieut.
A. 0. Tabuteau.
The following &pots are under' orders to proceed to
Chatham garrison, for the purpose of being attached to
the provisional battalion .—lst battalion Ist Royals, 19th
Regiment, and 20th Regiment.
The Globe says :—"The despatch. of, troops- to India has
lowered our home establishment of infantry of the line to
14 battalions, instead of 40, the proper' proportion for the
suited kingdom. The arrival of four regiments from the
Mediterranean in the course of a few days will augment
th e home-strength to 18 battalions ; but, oa the other hand.
it more.thanprobable that a further reduction will take
place in consequence of the despatch of more regiments to
Ind ia. It is quite obvious that for some time it will be
nem ssary to maintain a comiderable thropean force in
that country; and whatever force is there must have a
rese.rve of corresponding strength at home to' supply
casualties. It has therefore been determined to make a
considerable addition to the army immediately, which will
consist at the- least of 20. new battalions of infantry. Two
of them will probably be formally created'by appointment
of the additional officers in to-morrow's- gazette, and the
remainder will be organised with all despatch. Even with
this augmentation there will be no necessity to apply to
Parliament for a vote, for, owing to the extent of the
Indian reinforcements already despatched; we are now,
maintaining two cavalry and 24, infantry-regiments less
than those which are provided for in the estimates.' Some'
additional grant w:11, however. be asked for the Militia
service before-the rising of Parliament.'
Major F. B.. Ward's A troop of Royal !horse Artillery,
has arrived at Woolwich from rpswich, to' prepare for
immediate service in India. The command of the troop-
was given aver at Chelmsford, to • Captain Whinyates,
second in command, in consequence, of a fall from his
horse sustained •by Major Ward,'• occasioning severe
injuries, which prevented him from proceeding. The
troop having halted on Sunday at Romford, arrived on
Monday morning at Bla.ckheatb, where they were met by
the mounted band of the brigade,.who escorted them to
the. garrison. They were then kilned' by Lieutenant-
Colonel Maude,. C.8.,(wh0 has recently succeeded to the
command:of the brigade),-who preceded. them to their
quarters.
It was rumoured in Dublin on, Sun lay that the Scots
Greys, new forming part of that garrison, had received
sudden orders to- hold themselves in ,readiness for embar.

REPORT OF Mg COMMON LAW
COMMMISSIONERS.

This report has been issued in the form of a blue-book ,
with evidence and appendices, the whole forming a volume
of nearly 200 pages of closely printed matter. Tae report
itself lies in a nutshell. The commissioners, inverting the
order of subjects mentioned in the Royal commission (as
was found convenient), first considered the expediency of
reducing the number of judger, and, after reviewing tale
judicial business at the present time, and the prospect of
an increase of that business, they came to the conclusion
that to reduce the number of judges at present would cause
an arrear even of ordinary business, and certainly render
it impossible for the courts to despatch any unexpected
influx of an extraordinary nature. They next consider
whether any alteration could be made in the present
mode of transacting the judicial business in London
which would justify theta in recommending a reduc-
tion in the number of judges. This question is
resolved in the negative, as any such arrangement
would reduce the number of judges sitting in banal.
—a result which the commissioners cannot in any way
contemplate. If this decision be sustained, no change in
the number of circuits will be s'equired. The practice of
one judge remaining-in town during the circuits to di Tose
of the chamber business must also, it is thought, be re-
tained as indispensable. The memorials from certain
towns claiming separate assizes ana next discussed, and a
report is made in favour of the extension of this privilege
to Manchester and Bristol, while the applications from
.Leeds, Hull, Birmingham; Kendal, and Wisbech for sepa-
r ate a sizes are refused. As regards the question of
aeeiees generally, the plan of spring and summer assizes,
with a special •commission-in the winter, is reported as-
me st convenient, on the whole, although certain modifi-
cations are recommended, ee that a commission of assize
and nisi prius should be issued in winter for the disposal of
civil business in Lancashire and rorkshiro and such other
reeseeE• as may require theconeenience ; and that the special
commission of gaol delivery should be limited to towns
where the number of criminals renders such
.increased
facilities; of unquestionable importance. ks regards the
remodelling of the circuits, it is proposed (if Manchester
be separated from Liverpool) te, add to the North and
South Ws .les Circuits the adjacent counties of Salop and- -
Hereford ,(from the Oxford Circuit). and to aid to the
Oxford 01 .cuit*Warwick (from the Midland Circuit), and
to annex y .hic to the Midland, dttniniehed by War wick
and Northatiepton, the latter town •to be annexed to the
Norfolk Cirt uite Two judges. it is suggested, should go to
Cardiff and elwansea. The Home and Western Circuits
would remaile unchanged. Certain-details in connexion
with the Welts h Circuits are likewise discussed at length.
The commissh eners- propose no alteration in the four legal
terms, leavine • the judges to dispense at their discretion
with the term .London.sittings or net. They reco-n mend
that one judge,.sitting for all the courts, should attend daily
at chambers at s I much earlier hour than at:present, leaving
the two other outsitting judges to sit at nisi prius in
either of the ct turteeas occasion may require, wi hout
leaving for atteedance at chambers. As regards pleadings
in vacation, it is recommended that the Ist of October be
'substituted for Vats 2tth of October as the period at which
certain suits in lay be proceeded withe and that one or
more judges be •empewered to try causes arising in any of
the three courts after the Ist of October at such intervals
between that tin is and the Mich:mimeos Term as may be
deemed necessary.
