LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Justices of Appeal.)

THE WATERLOO ASSURANCE COMPANY.-JUDGMENT.
Sir G. Turner delivered judgment in this case, which is
of considerable importance to assurance companies. He
said that it was an application to place on the list of con-
tributors to the Waterloo Assurance Company the name of
Mr. George Lemon Saunders, who was a gentleman of
considerable influence and one of the company's agents in
that town. The Master of the Rolls had decided that
the name of Mr. Saunders should not be put upon the
list of contributories. It appeared to him that in this
case the shares were transferred to Mr. Saunders in order
to qualify him as a director, and that it was only in-
tended that he should become the trustee of them, just as
Mr. Williams, the manager, had been previously. He
thought this motion ought to be refused ; but inasmuch as
it was through the mistake of Mr. Saunders, in some
sense, that the appeal had been rendered necessary, it would
be without costs.

This was a meeting for order of discharge. Mr. Wether-
field, late of Moorgate-street, supported, and Mr. Whittir g
for assignee.
The order was granted, and it appeared that the bank-
rupt, a private gentleman, had been made bankrupt without
any petition, under the new act, by a judgment debtor
summons, for a debt for law costs owing to the solicitor
who appeared for the assignees. Total debts about £2,000,
assets very doubtful.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE PEARSON.

To-day was appointed for the adjourned examination
meeting of this bankrupt, who was a merchant in London
and Hull.

Mr. Bailey, for opposing creditors, applied for an order
for the exuaination of witnesses at Hull,

Mr. Lawrence, for the assignees, did not interfere.
Mr. C. E. Lewis, for the bankrupt, strenuously opposed
the application, contending it would be a great injustice to
the bankrupt to have the evidence part heard in London
before his honour, and the remainder before some person at
Hull.

His Honour refused the application, and adjourned the
case for a week, that the witnesses might attend.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DANGEROUS DRITING AND NARROW ESCAPE.—John
Brown (when taken into custody he gave the name of John
Frampton Spencer), of 43, High-street, St. John's-wood,
builder, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk
mad furiously driving a horse attached to a dog-cart; and
John Smith (who had previously given the name of John
Brown), of 25, Queen-street, Croydon, decorator, was
charged with being drunk and incapable.
Sergeant Howe, 21 C, said that on the previous after-
noon, between two and three o'clock, he saw Brown driving
a horse and cart along Park-lane from the direction of the
Marble Arch, the other defendant sitting by his side. The
horse was going at a furious rate, and when near Piccadilly
the cart in which the defendants were sitting came in col-

lision with an omnibus, and was overturned, the defendants
being shot out into the road. On going to the defendants'
assistance he found they were both drunk, and Smith in a
state of insensibility, the cart being also smashed. He then
took the defendants into custody.
Smith said he was suffering from being thrown ont of the
cart,
Mr. Knox said as Smith had been hurt he would dis-
charge him, but the other defendant would be fined 20s or
14 days.
