" P.S. Under Mr. Bignold, jtin.'s management, we never
got more than 26 per cent. returns, dividing the whole of the
profit's. In his New Company, his Directors are to have sala-
ries, and his ,Shareholders two-fifths of the profits. His In-
surers must judge what the fraction left for them is likely to be ?
Probably not JO per cent. for any time."
Court of Chancery, January 14, 1822.
" Mr. Hart, Counsel for the Directors.—The simple facts of
the case were these, that the Norwich Union Society, instead
of being in a flourishing condition, was reduced to a state of
great distress, involving the Directors in considerable peril, as
they were primarily liable on policies, and would have to seek
contribution from the members at large ; that several heavy
losses, and some unfortunate differences with some of, their ot-
ficers, had induced the Directors to determine their responsibi-
lities, by refusing to continue the policies."
" The Lord Chancellor—l do not say that this record may
not be so amended as to bring all parties properly before me,
but I feel that is very difficult to do so with 60,000 partners. I
cannot hold that societies may re-model and alter their associa-
tions, so as to change their original constitutions, but I do not
sit here to try offences."

The Tenth Report of the Commissioners of
Inquiry on Courts of Justice in Ireland has been
printed. It embraces the Equity side- of the
Court pf Exchequer, of which it details the du-
ties of the several Officers, and their salaries and
fees, with great minuteness, points out several
defects, and suggests improvements. The Report,
which is of great length, comprising, with the
evidence, 362 folio pages, commences with the
office of Chief Remerrancer in the Court of
Exchequer, held by patent since 1797 by the
Marquis WELLESLEY. The reversion of this
office was further granted by patent, in 1808, to
RICHARD WELLESLEY, Esq. for his life. The
office is a sinecure, its duties being delegated to
a Deputy appointed by the Patentee—the sa-
lary, 691. lls. 2d.; the gross amount of fees
4,532/. 10s. ld. ; disbursements, 788/. 10s. id. ;
net income, 3,8131. lls. 2d. Deputy Chief Re-
membrancer—salary, none ; gross amount of fees,
3,7401.; disbursements, 5501.; net income, 3,1901.
