CHANCERY.--(11118 DAY.)
(Bd.re the LORD 2ITANCELLOR.)

IN RE THE NORTH OF ENGLAND BANKING COMPANY,

EX PARTE NELSON.
This was an appeal from an order of the Vice-Chan-
cellor Knight Bruce, retaining the petitioner, as the
executor of one Strafford, on the list of contributories
for 900 shares. The objections to.the liability were the
absence of any formal and perfect transfer Of any of the
700 sharer, save 10, the non execution of the deed of
settlement, and the want of any binding consent on the
part of the directors in any of the sales made to Straf-
ford. Iu answer to these points, the official manager
proved waiver of obj ction to informalities, and the con-
stant receipt of the dividends as long as there were any
to receive.
His Lorwsmr this morning, in giving judgment,
said that it was fortuoate for the people of this country
that the view of this case endeavoured to be forced upon
him by the appellants was neither the law of this Court
nor of any other Court in the kingdom. Mr. Straff Ord
had undoubtedly become a member of the company in
regard to all the shares. Every one of the conditions
required by the Act of Parliament had been complied
with in the transfer of those shares, and if there had
been a profit to receive instead of a burden to bear, the
Court would never have heard of any attempt to repu-
diate membership. In his opinion the executor of Mr.
Strafford were fully liable, and the appeal must therefore
be dismissed.

'1 he rates for Bills of Exchange upon the Continental
cities were barely supported yesterday afternoon.
Ninety days' Bills were taken at 25,571 to 621 on Paris,
12 11, to 12 12 on Amsterdam, 13 11 to on Ham-
burgh, and 12 28 to 12 32 on Trieste.
The committee of the Stock-Exchange have had the
following posted in the " honse":—

" Notice—An application having been made to mark
the Spanish Three per Cent, Interior Debt, tho commit-
tee will meet specially on Friday next, the 23d inst., to
take the matter into consideration.
(Signed) " G. WEBB, Sec."
This idea originates with parties in the Dutch in-
terest, the Home Debt being habitually dealt in at Am-
sterdam, but the proposal should be instantly scouted,
for it would open the door to a perfect inundation of
similar trash over the amount of which no control could
be exercised. _ _

The English Funds have suffered to the extent of
per cent. by sales that have been pressed, and although
Money Stock has been brought to market a little by the
public "banging" has been resorted to for the sake of
effect, and, as usual, many timid individuals close their
accounts, and thus fall into the trap laid for them.
There are, however, as we have before stated under this
bead, motives for caution. The uncertainty con-
cerning the Budget, the anxiety with which
Louis Napoleon's career is watched, and the
electioneering that is to take place here, must all
deter purchasers. Consols have been 994 to 994 for
Trans'er, and 994 to 4 for May. The prices now are
994 4, and 994 4. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Gems. have been at 1004 to 4, and the Three per Cents-
at 984 to Bank Stock is weaker, at 2194. Exche-
quer-bills of June are 653. to 68s , and India Bonds 86s.
premium.
There has been a good deal of activity in the
Foreign Market, but values have all gone back in
sympathy with Consols. Mexican have been 344 to 4.
and are now 344 to 4. The New have been 274 to 284,
and now are 28 to j. Spanish Three per Cents. are 474

IN RE OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND CHESTER RAILWAY
COMPANY, EX PARTE SHARPE AND JAMES.

This was an appeal petition under ihe Winding-up
Act. - The Master placed the petitioners on the list for
500 shares, and as the Vice Chancellor Knight Bruce
bad decided a smilar question in " Ex parte Morrison,"
they wire, by -permission of Lord Truro, allowed to
bring the question at once before this branch of the
Court. ..''he petitioners wire mansgins directors, and, as
such, they agreed to take, and did take, 100 shares. By
a scheme subs, quently agreed on the directors appor•
tioned 8000 shares Lobe divided among the members of
the beard of matiagenar•nt and the provisional committee.
Of these shares the praportion of the petitioners was
800, and the question now argued was their liability to
contribute on +hose 800, for they did not deny the liabi-
lity on the original 200
His LORDSHIP, in giving judgment, said the Court
had great reason to complain of the manner in which
this case had been brought before the Court. No fact
in it seemed to have been ascertained wi.h any certainty,
and the progress of the Court had been frequently
interrupted by di›putes as to the truth of some material
allegation of fact. Atter going oaretully through the
case he had come to the conclusion that there was no
evidence to show that Mr. Sharps or Mr. James were
liable for any more than the 100 shares each,
of which they had already accepted the liability. With
regard to the additional 400 shares each in the new
scheme, there was nothing to show that they had ac-
cepted the allotment of them, and the mere tact of their
being on the managing committee could not render
them liable. In 147 fit's case, which had been relied on,
there had been an acceptance, but in this there was none,
and here were other circumstances which made it differ
considerably from this. The liability of Mr. Sharpe and
Mr. James must there•ore be restacted to 100 shares
each, and with regard to the other shares they must be
struck oil the list.—Decree aecordttigly.

The Railway Share Market has been flatter through-
out, and there has been considerable fluctuation. Bristol
and Exeter have touched 97, and are now 954. Amber-
gate are 64 to 7. French Shares are a little 'weaker as
regards Northern, Orleans and Bordeaux, Rouen and
Havre, and Tours and Nantes, bat Paris and Rouen are
dearer.

IN RE SMITH.
In this case, in which thw Lord Chancellor ordered
Mr. Holland to make an affidavit explaining the part
which he had had in the transaction for which Mr.
Smith was lasi Friday struck off the rolls, Mr. Holland
being this morning in rat( ndauce,
The LORD CHANcELL.,n said he bad read Mr. Hol-
land's 'sffidavil, iivhich completely absolved him from any
knowledge of the improper conduct of which Mr. Smith
had been guilty. He was perectly satisfied on this
point; and he discharged Mr. Hulked from further at-
tendance on the Court, as free from blame.

Within the last half-hour Shares are rallying again.
