CRYSTAL PALACE DISTRICT GAS.

Yesterday the half yearly meeting was held at the Albion
Hotel, Aldersgate-street ; Mr E. Wilson in the uhair,
The report stated that the works and plant were in good
order, and that the new gasholder was progressing satisfac-
torily. A further reduction would be made in the price of
gas from the Ist of January next. The balance-sheet for
the half year to the 30th of June last showed the profits for
the half year to be £3,710, which with £216, balance from
preceding half year, made £3,926, out of which the direc-
tors recommended a dividend of 6 per cent, per annum on
the preference capital, and of 10 per cent, per annum on
the ordinary shares. The total paid-up capital was £126,714,
Waving, after expenditure, £6,261.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
congratulated the proprietors on the progress and prospects
of the undertaking. After alluding to the perfection of the
company's apparatus, the superior quality of the gas manu-
factured, and the constantly-increasing supplies required,
he said that from the Ist January the price of gas would be
4s 9d. per 1,000 cubic feet.
Mr IiowELL seconded the adoption of the report, which
was unanimously carried.
The dividend was declared payable forthwith, and the
thanks of the meeting were given to the chairman and direc-
t tors for their able management.

INVERNESS AND PERTH JUNCTIO N.

The report of the directors state that the revenue for the
half-year ending July 31 amounted to £15,535, and the ex-
penditure to £31,769, including £4,923 paid for interest on
debentures, leaving a balance of £10,756. Out of this was
deducted £1,900 for dividend on the Perth and Dunkeld
stock, £1,747 on the 4} per cent preference stock, and £7,000
for the proposed dividend, at the rate of 31 per cent. per
annum, on the ordinary stock, leaving a balance of £lO9.
The traffic during the half-year had steadily increased.
The works of the Aberfeldy branch were making satisfac-
tory progress, and there was reason to expect the line would
be reody for opening early next year. The capital account
showed that £062,767 had been expended.

PRUSSIA AND DENMARK.

The Feudal organs of Berlin deny that the Diet
is a competent tribunal in matters relating to the
succession of the Duchies, and propose that each
of the nine principal Governments of the Confedera-
tion should name a jurisconsult to form a commis-
sion, to give an opinion on the question, leaving the
ultimate decision to tte Diet. The essential point
is to arrive at a speedy solution, in order to deliver
the populations from the uncertainty which has
now hung over them for nearly twelve months.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Before Mr Registrar Window, acting as Commiseoner.)

IN RE sorml TUBBS.

This was an application for an order of discharge, and
also release from custody.

The case was of a very singular nature. It appears that
the bankrupt and her mother, who is an aged lady, took
some premises of a Mrs Robinson. This was in 1861; but
afterwards a Mr Robinson appeared, amongst others, as
claimants of the property, and the bankrupt and her mother
became involved in the dispute, and, as they refused to
give up possession, an action was brought against them
and judgment recovered; but during the dispute a forcibl.,
possession, with violence, had been taken, and the parties
making the possession were sentenced to various punish-
ments, from three to six months' imprisonment. The
bankrupt and her mother retained possession, and when
made bankrupt persisted in doing so. This was the fourth
application for release, the late Commissioner Fane having
refused to grant it until the bankrupt had given up pos-
session.

The bankrupt was now asked whether she would give
up possession to the assignees, but she would not make any
promise, and the official assignee said he would rather not
tike possession under a disputed title.
His Honour granted the order of discharge, but reserved
judgment as to the release until Wednesday next.

IN ItE W. P. WINDHAM.

To day was appointed for the last examination and dis
charge of this bankrupt, described as of Westbourne•
terrace, gentleman.

Mr Lawrance, for the assignees, said no accounts had
yet been filed, but no doubt they would be in a few days.
lie believed that they would be undisputed. It was, there-
fore, thought advisable to take a short adjournment, to
which Mr Chidley, Mr Brougb, and other gentlemen
assented. _

The meeting was accordingly adjourned till the 23d a
November n(xt.

peared to reign supreme. Mr GRAINGER, the Pre•
sident of the Chamber of Commerce, made a very
eloquent speech, which did him great honour, and
was in every respect worthy of the occasion. He
commenced by saying that when they heard of the
intended visit of Mr GLADSTONE their chief thought
wis "how best to welcome to his native town the
greatest of her sons." In pursuance of this idea be
showed how they had finally fired upon the most
approved metiod of modern times to render homage

made any contract with Mr Scott, and also denied
he had ever said that the Board of Works had ap-
proved of Mr Scott's granite. There was also a
letter from Professor Tennant, stating that he had
e amined four samples of granite, as well as one of
two samples marked by Mr Scott, and found, from
its component parts, that it was not likely to be so
durable as the four samples be had before referred
to.

Mr BAZALGETTE, the chief engineer, said that he
had requested Mr Professor Tennant to visit Livers
pool, to ascertain whether, as suggested, the defec-
tive stone used there in the construction of the
docks was of the same character, as that would, of
course, elter his opinion. The professor could not
go, but Mr Lovett went and saw the principal °ff ..
cers, who gave him every opportunity of examining
the Kirkconnel and Dalbeattie stone. His report
was,favourable to the atone in use.
After an animated discussion upon the subject, in
which considerable personal feeling seemed to ani-
mate the parties concerned, the whole matter was
referred to the Thames Embankment Committee for
consideration and a report.
After disposing of the routine business, the Board
adjourned.

PURCHASE OF EPPING FOREST.

A report was brought up from the Streets Com.
mittee embodying a letter from the president on the
letters received from the Iho. F. Peel, relative to
the enclosure of Epping Forest to be used as a
place of recreation.
The PRESIDENT stated that he had had a con.
Terence with the Hon. H. Howard, commissioner of
Royal Forests, and Mr. Gardiner, solicitor of Royal
Forests, upon the subject, and that it appeared the
Crown rights over 3,513 acres had been already dis•
posed of for the sum of £15,795 16s. 6d., and that
nearly a similar quantity remained for disposal, but
that property of this description was not easily pro•
tected, and was moreover very expensive to watch
over. He recommended that nothing should be
done. in the matter at present, as from what took
place in the House of Commons upon the subject
last session, there was a greet probability that a
select committee would be appointed to take it into
consideration early in the next session.

BOW-STREET.

POST-OFFICE R OBBERY. —Henry William Spencer,
letter-carrier, was placed at the bar charged with stealing
two letters, the property of the Postmaster. General.
Letter-carrier No. 23 said he had been in the post-office
27 years. The prisoner assisted in the sorting of letters
previous to his leaving the office to deliver the letters. Last
evening he was engaged in dividing the letters into different
classes. After he had finished he took up his own packet
of letters for delivery in Lower Thames-street. He then
saw him " trying" the letters, and having selected one be
saw him place it between the folds of a French newspaper.
He (witness) immediately reported what he had seen to his
superior officer, and then left the office to deliver his letters.
Walter Smee, the constable attached to the post-office,
said he stopped the prisoner last night as he was leaving
the ga'e of the building. He took him to Gardmer's pd•
vate room under the office. He had a bag of letters with
him.

Mr Chare, one of the inspectors of letter-carriors at the
General Post Office, said he was present in Mr Gardner's
room when the prisoner was btou„;ht in by Snace. Ho took
possession of the prisoner's letter bag, and found a French
newspaper amongst the bundle of lettere, within the folds
of which he discovered two letters. One was addressed
to " Valentine Wright, 95, Fleet-street, City of London,"
and the other Messrs Waterton and Son, Birchin-lane, He
asked him how the letters came into the newspaper, and he
said he knew nothing about them. The two letters are not
in the prisoner's delivery. They belong to the classes whom
the p-isoner, previous to his leaving the Post Office, was
engaged in sorting.

Mr. Gardner, one of the senior clerks of the Post Office,
said—Stnee, the officer, brought the prisoner into his room
last night. He saw the last witness take the two
letters produced from the folds of a newspaper.
The corners of cne of the letters had been torn,
so that it could be seen to contain postage stamps.
The letter of Mesrs. Waterton, on being opened was found
to contain 117 penny postage stamps. The letter of Mr
Wright contained two directed envelopes with a postage
stamp attached.
The prisoner who denied all knowledge of the letters
being within the newspaper, was fully committed for trial.
