wield be to consider the nature of the motion he was called upon
• sexes/it. -It was an injunction to prevent the defendants from di.
ilea of the sheers in the Dolan*, Mines. It appeared that the
gentleman who tiled this kill was an original projector of the
Real did Monte Company. He became acquainted with a gentle-
' mar named Don Juan Ompar, and others, that had opportunities
-of knowing the truth of what they bad told him. From them he
learnt that it wield be a beneficial undertaking to enter into con.
-Vans with the corners of the Real del Monte Minn. He therefore
made anangements for that purpose, and then applied to elr.Taylor
.to join with him in forming a Company to work those mines. s(r.
'Kindest agreed that Mr. Taylor shauid haves portion of the shares
or himself and friend*. The deed was then signed, and in that
deed the number of shares belonging to each individual was
named. Mr. Kinder reserved to himself 71 of these shares. 51r.
Taylor nedinstood that Mr. Kinder was to send 50 of them to
Mexico. It was upon this misunderstanding that originated the
spresent dispute. It did not appear from what was before the Court
that Alm Kinder made any agreement to that effect : but he
451 m Heald) hoped presently to show that he did not. Mr. Kinder
sent over to 3l exact., as the agent to the Company, Capt. Vetch.
The LORD CHANCELLOR asked whether, between the signing
of the deed and the forming of the Company, any of the shares
were sold ?
Mr. HEALD answered in the negative.
Mr. Suomi, said, there was no doubt Mr. Kinder had so done.
Mr. ZSALD said, as far as the plaintiff was concerned he could
answer the question, but with regard to otters he really could
not say.
The LOPE' Csanottton said, that by the Bill it was evident
that Khmer had originally 77 shares; but it did not appear to
'thorn oe•with whose consent he had parted with the six.
51r. Seism tv ELL said, that when the shares were divided it was
agreed they should nut be sold before the signing of the deed.
Alm HEALD. in continuation. He would now read the affida.
v'es, and eoimnrnt upon them as he proceeded. It would first be 1
troessarry for him to call his Lordship's attention to the question of
the &HAMM mines His client asserted, that they formed part of
Ike property belonging to the Real del Monte Company. The
defendants Affirmed it did not. With regard to the jurisdiction of
she Court. it would be strange if they turned that Bill out. If they
did, he thought that the whole property of the Bolanos Mines
world be lost. The affidavits put in by Mr. Taylor confirmed those
of,Me Kinder. .Me. Tavler did not know any thing about
the mines till applied to by *Mr. Kinder, who went to him with the
documents in his hand, and it was natural for Mr. Taylor to at-
i er.d to aMO so fairly made out. The conduct of Mr. Kinder was'',
opin and fair throuxbout. If he had been concerned as a bubbler
he would have sold his 71 shares when they were at 1,00(11. pre-
mium. He did rot act thus, but kept his shares and continued a
member of the Company. He had by some means become ob-
iectionable to his pertness, and they laid hold of this as being
a ground of complaint against him. Could any thing be more ri-
tekulous ? Thesheresamounted to WS, of which Mr. Kinder hail 21110
for himself and frieeds. and Al r. Taylor the remainder. The affidavit
of Taylor Mtn:meted that Mr. Kinder was considered as a kind of
'trustee for fifty shares of certain persons in Mexico ; and the met.
ter in diepite is, that he kept them for himself. But even Mr.
Taylor's affidavit did got swear that Kinder consented to that ar-
rangement. That and all the other affidavit, on the aubject
merely said it was understood; but lie (Mr. Heald) should like to
know who understood it. It was not his client. The meeting of
the share-holders, in which this understanding was said to have
taken place, was scene montheprevious to the execution of the deed,
yet they suffered Urn to put his name down in the deed for seventy-
litoe sh..- tea, and afterwards called upon him for Ms lest instalment
On that nu,e'eer of share-ii, and not on twenty. This Alt. Taylor
attempted to explain in his affidavit, by saying that Mr. Kinder
went to the office of Mr. Phillips, the Company's Clerk, and put
NS Dime down whilst the clerk was absent. Mr. Taylor, to ne-
atest for the all of kis instalment upon the 71, after this, says
• that It was resolved as the deed was signed, and it could not be
helped, that Mr. Kinder should pay for the seventy-lane. After
tines he wee called upon in a letter tram the clerk to pay his instal.
meat on severity-die shares, thus treating him in every way es the
onset of that number. His Lordship had asked what ume had
elapsed between the division of the shores and the execution of the
deed. In that internal Mr. Kinder-had not sold the six shares
mairioned, but had given them to a friend.
Tne Lot D CHANCELLOR said, it had been distiretly laid down
by the Lonis Justices in the beginning of the eighteenth century,
toe bubble age, that inch societies were nulsuntes, not only by the
..itiit of fe..h time I. but alas at common law ; and he (the Lord
silheneellor) should be Miry to nnetion companies who had sold
Mimes before the deed was excreted.
Mr. titanwEte.--.lle parted with it, but it did not appear that
Medd it.
111 e. HEALD—In the deed it appeared there were to be books,
sae which were to be open to the Company. But he would sup.
pose that the Directors should refuse to let them look at the books,
would not this Court grant an order for them to be opened ? If
-a:Court of Equity would not give them relief, it would cause es
Much evil a. it the books were closed. He did not think, consider-
iog the immense number of parties concerned, that at was within
•the scope of human laws to afford relief to all ; tint he thought
.the rules of the Court ought to be applied to them as far as they
,seuuld go.
.. The Loan ClIANCELl.Oll—Nebe.iy would come here merely
to compel the books to be opened. In that case the Cook could
.sot interfere. unless there was something more to be done than the
teem opening of the books. The question would depend upon the
legality, but the Court would not interfere to settle all the business
of. the partnership. Nothing was more difficult than to shut
out the law.
Mr. HF.ALD said that was true; hut he hoped the law-would
not ahut tittle out. (A. laugh.) He had before him a case

__ .........._ _...._ ..._..
The LOID CHANCELLOR ObeCited, such diem snick bil put
in all di eds, and yet never be intended to be sail
Mr. HEALD thought the ease ought not to*at flat It
had received the greatest consideraC:on from dub udges.,
No Cour: of Justice could protect invividuals who did est take care
of themselves. This Company could not be called a nuisance, un-
less, ir.deed, working foreign mines and bring their produce to
England could be called injurious. The Courts of Justice could
not interfere ur.lesa impowered by Act of Parliament. This was a
partn:rship to work mines abroad, and was not liable to the ob-
jections that applied to many other Co-npanies, and he trusted that
this would receive his Lordship's approbation.
Mr. WALKER then followed on the same aide.

Mr. SH•ew.iss rose and stated he was Counsel only for the de-
fendants on the record. He would first direct his Lordship's at-
tention to the objects of the parties who framed the Act of
17Iff. It was at that time the intention of the Government to raise
money by granting peculiar privileges to particular Companies. For
this they were to advance two different sums of 300,000/. Seth
was the way of doing business then. The next year an Act was
passed to esonerate the Companies from paying one sum of
300,000!. It was well known that at that time there were a great
number of projects en foot; among others, there was one for fur-
nishing funerals in every part of the kingdom ; and such was the
rage, at the time they extated, that a man actually published a
prospectus of a Company about which the subscribers were to know
nothing, as it was necessary to keep it seeret. The man sold his
shares at two guineas each, and when ht but raised 2,000!. he de-
camped, no era knew whither. He would now beg leave to point
out to his Lordship, that the Aet only mentioned by name the
fisheries, and one Company fur improving silk According to the
&presentations rustic by Tindal, the Bill was passed through both
Houses ai ks the, greatest celerity. di het the South Sea bubble
broke, tbe cause rf it was seen, for the principal persons accused
of being cone's-nest in the transaction, were the then Chan-
cellos of the taoheqoer and the Xarl of Sutherland. If they turn-
ed to the Ifithaceumi of tiles:let, they would perceive the connec-
tion that faired between the Company and the framers of the 11111.
It alno further said, apeakii.g of the Companies then afloat, " That
is some cases the undertakers or subscribers had presumed to act
under obsolete charters:" then followed the enacting part—for a
distinction ass to be drawn between the assertions of an Act and
its enactments; it alluded to undertakings which had been pre-
viously described, and wound up their charge against them by
saying, " and particularly for acting as a corporate body ;" now
this was not a nuisance till it was enacted to be such, to serve, there
was no doubts the interests of the South Sea bubble. In the 19th
section the same reference was made. He (Mr. Shadwell) admit-
ted the view Lord Ellcnborough had taken of that Act in the ease
of the King v. Webb, to be correct ; and he thought that it mould
be impossible for his Lordship to declare that the mere circum-
stance of haring transferable shares was in itself illegal. In the
case of Buck v. Buck, the plaint:f . was, as had been stated, non-
suited, and the Court seemed to think that the transfer constituted
a misdemeanour; but it must be remembered that it was only the
opinion of • Judge at Nist Prim,. Any sort of scheme which gave
activity to the capital of British merchants, could not, without a
strange contradiction, be lOW to be illegal. Ile thought, with due
deference, that ,Ws Lordship eoukl not of his own mere authority,
declare the Society to be illegal. If his Lordship held in to be il-
legal, the Legislature should interfere to stop those that were going
on, or the law, as it at present existed, must be seriously enforced.
The last scheme, he believed, which had appeared, was the British,
Irish, and Colonial Silk Company. This Company had for patrons
the 3larquis of Lansdown and the Earl of Liverpool ; the President
was the Right Hun. W.Huakisson, and among the Vice-Presidents,
with mans other noble names to be found, those of the Marquises
of Sslisbury and Downshire, the Attorneys General for both
kingdoms, ike. &c. were to be found.. Hemet own be was sur-
prised.
The Loup CHaxcEssoa asked if they were incorporated ?
3lr. SHADWELL said he did not think they yet were, but the
names attached to the advertiscniept astonished him.
. .

The LORD CD.lllfcit.Lon—But you are glad to find them there.
Mr. SHADIVELL said, besides these he had enumerated, there
weThere.numerous Bishops concemcd in it.
LORD LeANCLI.LOI—".It they are illegal, I think we
ought to Legio witikthem }int."- (A laugh.)
Mr. SHADWELL—Notwithstanslizlg she number of names, be
believed there had been a pauso--.
The LORD Clitaticy.Li.ost aititi, it was difficult for him to re-
concile his judicial and legislative duties ; but if the Companies
went on as they had done, they would want three Courts of Chan-
cery instead of one.
Mr. SHAD observed, that there were a nuntlicr of respect-
able persons engaged in there Companies.
The LORD Criascp,Loa--,),0 doubt of it.
Mr. SRAD WE.I.L-11 is Lordship would pause before bemused
the confusion which a declarant% of the illegality of these 6°-
circles would occasion. lie would, for the purpose of argument,
show that the society was legal; and he would point out to his
Lordship these circumEssoces which formed an effectual barrier
'against the plainta for the injunction he prayed. It was resolved
that the terms pro *wad by Mr. Kinder should be agreed to. The
'affidavits stared that the contrau was entered into fer twenty
years.
' The Loan CaLtsccEr.r.ort,--Did that mean that the Company
was to last far twenty-one year*, or that the management was to rest
'in Mr. Taylor rot that time ?
Me. SUADWE U.—Thu enpreasion was, that it was to be in the
' mauagentent of the Company for that time; but Mr. Taylor acted
as their agent.
The LORD CuexcEt.LO Slid, it was necessary that he should
know that the contract was,

Mr. SHADWELL would now come to that point. The order was
to n:ake contracts for the Reel del Monte or other mints, thus pro-
viding for the'perpetuity of the Company. The deed provided for
distAution,butot the same time contemplated perpetuity. Codex
these circumstances wu a private proprietor to come forward and
call for the dissolutiou of the partnership? There was another
clause particularly. deserving of tionsideration. It was, that if a
dispute should vise, it. should be arbitrated; both parties were to
name an arbitrator. oho were to choose a third, who were to decide.
If they could rot agree, it was to be referred to the Alecer of the
Court of King's Bench. It was important to notice the institution
of this dualestic foram. To this. the plaintiff might have gone.
It wu neves intended that a single individual should have what
works be pleased worked. Mr. hinder asserted that he ought to
have a share in .the Lto!anos mines, he is a proprietor of Real del
Moms shares, but it had been resolved in a Cercral Court, that
they should have nothing to do with,the Bolanos mines.
The SOLICI row:GENERAL said, fir. Kinder was not present,
and had sent word be would not tte bound by their proceedings.
Mr. Ste an* au. read a paper showing that Mr. Kir.dcr was pre.
'sent, but delivered Ls diapproval in writing. It was also in that
Court determiaed that the llolanos mines did not belong to the
Reel del Montt Company. When his Lordship learnt that the
Solutes mines were
.600 miles from the Real del Monte, it would
net be thought extraordinary thatibe Company did not divert their
cfferts ?men the original scheme.
The LORD Cuaactuala asked who it was contracted for the
Beano& mines.

Mr. hasps/ELL did not know that any body had, but Mr. Tay-
lor bed the shares. and wished to dispose of them.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—The Solicitor•Cieneral stated that
all the owners or Real stel Monte shares had also shares in pro-
portion on the Bottom.
Mr. Sum:my:Lt.—lt vas Mr. Taylor who set the affair of the
Bolimos mints afloat. Mr. Kinder had, there could be no doubt
from the affie:ariiii, agreed to send the fifty shares to Mexico. He
had sernaptatiosoly put his paps (low; fur seventy-one shares, and
sooner that hate a dispute the Directors passed it over. Mr.
kinder certainly did ft very ingeniously, but he was not on that
account to become a proprietor of Bolanos to the same amount.
The LORD CHANCE Limit asked whether twenty-one shares in
the Bolanos had been altered him ?
Mr. SHADNELL answered la the afimiative; but they were,
after all, arguing on a thing which eid not exist, as they had not
as yet got the Dolmans mines. A contract hid beta made, but It
was not yet arrived.
The Losu CHANCELLOR wanted to know how he could have
fltiy shares in a thing wtoch did flat exist ?
Mr. Stispivfl.t. could not tell, but supposed they had no

The LORD CHANCELLOR—" You must be prepared with the
comraci to-morrow."

Mr. eInaDWELL•-" Your Lot&hip means the case should go

The Loan Cu*xc=tcoa—•" Yes ; certainly."

BRITISII AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY.
On T last was held. the Annual Examination of the
children the Cested Schools of this Society, in the
= .8.
this Inca fitting occasion, the Right Honour
Viewer Miller', M.P. presided. The Countess of
111148.116
and • numerous and highly respectable assemblage of
Ladles ad Gentlemen honoured the proceedings of the day with
their moo,
TM 011ipaoy were first conducted to the Girls' Se'tool, where
the inindninien commenced. The girls presented specimens of
iftebawark to be inspected by the Ladies, and were questioned
ask knowledge of that useful and indispensable branch of
hire
Female Education, with which they appeared to be well acquainted,
both in theory and practice ; at the same time they exhibited their
writing. A class of girls was then exercised for a short time in
the arithmetical tables. This was followed by reading. A portion
of Scripture, selected from the lawns published by the Society, was
read, and the girls were examined by several of the company as to
their knowledge of the Neu, doctrines, and duties of Holy Writ.
The correetnis• of their answers, indicating a very extenstve ac-
quaintance with the contents of the Inspired Volume, did not fail
to gratify all present.
The Noble Chairman and the visitors then adjourned to the
Boys School. After the customary evolutions, some boys from the
highest arithmetical class underwent a careful examination. Various
questions, dictated to them at the time, were solved with a rapidity
and correctnees truly astonishing.
A number of boys, whale diligence and good conduct have been
rewarded with extra Instruction, exhibited their progress in
geography, geometry, and grammar. Maps and figures, accurately
drawn by themselves on slates, were presented for inspection, and
their replies to the questions proposed to them showed a correct
knowledge of the general principles of the above-mentioned branches
of science.
Much interest was excited by the appearance of the Greek lads,
recently brought to this country by Captain Blaquiere, and now
residing in the Society's Establishment, together with a young
maa who attended them on their voyage, and is under training as •
schoolmaster. They were attired in their national costume. Part
of our Saviour's Sermon cm the Mount was read by them, first in
Romaie, their native language, and then in English. A short ex-
ercise in spelling followed. They then repeated the Ten Command-
ments, which, as well as the Lord's Prayer, they have committed.
to memory. Specimens of their writing were distributed among
the company, and sere much admired. The progress these lads
have made, who, four month? ago. could neither read nor write
in the English language, is not only creditable to themselves,
but also from the efficiency and universsi adaptation of the British
System.
The doing pan of the examination, and unquestionably the
most important, occupied a considerable time. Portions of scrip-
ture havmg been read by a number of boys, taken from the eighth
class, many questions were proposed to them, embracing almost
every rubject on which the Inspired Writers have treated, whether
historical. doctrinal, or moral. The answers given by the children,
couched in the express words of Scripture, evinced a surprisingly
extensive and correct knnaledge of the Holy Book, and proved
that they are receiving a truly religious education of the highest
order.

The Noble Chairman. who had been evidently much interested
in the engagements of the day, was pleased to express, in his con-
cluding speech, the pleasure and satisfaction he had felt, and his
conviction of the superior excellence of the system of instruction
adopted by this Society.
After a brief and appropriate address to the children, by W.
Allen, Esq. the Treasurer, the NI eet ing terminated.
