CHANCERY COURT.--FRIDAY.

THE SKINNERS' COMPANY V. THE IRISH SOCIETY.

The arguments in this ease were resumed this morning.
Mr. KNIGHT, on behalf of the Society, proceeded to con-
tend that the bill now filed by the Skinners' Company, and
those other Companies who appeared in support, of it, had
its origin in the disappointment felt by those Companies
when the progress of Reform in the City of London in 1831
and 1832 had excluded all the representatives of the twelve
great Companies from the Society, and laid tie right of
election open to the Common Council, which represented
the whole of the citizens. The consequende of the proceed-
ings would, however, be very different from that which the
plaintiffs anticipated, for, instead of increasing the amount
of the money to be divided among the• Companies, it would
have the effect of increasing the amount of the money to be
distributed for public purposes in the province of Ulster, in
fulfilment of the original purposes of the grant. The whole
of the argument on the other side assumed the fact that the
privileges of the Society were given them for a temporary
purpose, and that purpose being answered, that their powers
returned to the twelve Companies who assumed to be the
real owners of the property. Now, it was a remarkable fact,
that in the grants made to each of the twelve Companies of
those lands which formed the subject of partition, there was a
reservation to the Society of all the coal, loom, sandstone, and
lime under the surface of the soit Nay, more, that there
was also a reservation of rent to be paid to the Society, the
sum of 211. Cs. Bd. being charged to the Grocers' Company,
and 171. to that Company which had filed the bill. Was
not this then an answer to the whole case made by the
other side with respect to the temorary nature of the
powers and duration of the Society? But, it might be
asked, by whom was tho bill filed? It was filed by pri-
vate individuals, and not by the Attorney-General, whose
province it should be, on behalf of the public in Ireland
to take care the provisions of the original grant were cot
plied with. 1 he plaintiffs, however, anti the other Com

Jon Thomas Latham, the man who, it will be remem-
bered, was tried at the June Sess ons at the • Central Cri-
minal Court for cutting and maiming, and was acq•iitt( d,
• plied to be discharged under the Act. He was unop.
posed by his creditors.
The insolvent was before the Court a few days ago,
when hiS case was adjourned for the production of further
evidence. He had, it appeared, been a licensed victualler
at Greenwich. On the commencement of the June Ses-
sions, and- two days before his trial, he made an assignment
of his property, consisting of the public:-house, furniture,
&e., to a person named Stephen Clarke, whom he declared
to be a stranger, so that in the..event of being found guilty,
the property would not become forfeited to the n.
The assignment was made to Clarke for the benefit of his
wife, and after her death, for her children. He was ac-
quitted on the trial, and about that period his wife soli
'wl:at property she could, and had, he understood, sailed
with abOut 200/.•to America. This was his account of the
d'sposal of his property, and he was required to produce
Clarke. Exertions had been made, and he was now allowed
to come up without
.his. attendance. Ile nas required to
produce a person named HUmphrevs. He ascribed his in-
solvency to the -conduct of Li; wife, and the expenses of
his trial cn the capital charge.
Mr. HUnaphreys stated that it was said that Clarke had
aiso gene to America.

The insolvent had done -all he could to procure Clarke.
He had four children to support. lie had not had one
shilling since he had been in prison, now three months. nig
children were quite destitute. lie had heard his wife had
sailed for America.—The insolvent was discharged.
