JOINT STOCK NEWSPAPERS.— he rage for joint
stock companies, at the point of its exhaustion Must,. it ap-
pears, find a .resting place in the press of the counfq; ac-
cordingly we find prospectuses of joint stock newspapers in
London, Liverpool, and Manchester, in shares from ten shil-
lings to ten pounds, the amount of eapitalbeing fixed from ten
to twenty and forty thousand pounds. 'This may at first
sight appear all very fair, but if we look a little closer into
the matter, it will be found that, without some. alterations
arc made with regard to the registration of the names of
newspaper proprietors at the Stamp Office, the establishment
of these joint stock concerns will become a great evil. For
instance, suppose a joint stock paper be established with a
capital of 10,000/., in shares of 101. each, and that,.upon nn
average, each shareholder was possessed of two shares, which
would make the number of proprietors 500. Now if a libel
were published against an individual in this paper, he would
bring his action against the person registered at the stamp
office, who merely being the printer or publisher of the paper
in question, and the salaried servant of the Company, would
not be able to sustain -an action, so that the party libelled
would be knocked about from pillar to post between the 500
proprietors, and in the end gain no redress. A clause should
be inserted in the new Act, compelling at least two-thirds of
the proprietors of papers established upon this principle, or in
fact any other, to register their names at the stamp office;
'otherwise they may issue their libels to the svorld, With im-
punity, and evidently enjoy an advantage over those papers
now established ‘and duly registered.—Stockport Advertiser.
*THE Ti TRADE, MONDAY.—The deliveries
last week amounted to 355,220 lbs. The large arrivals frotn
Canton has rendered the market dull. The East India Com-
pany's sale will commence on the 6th of next month.
Mr. Abednego Bland, a very old man, a member of
the old Colchester Corporation, and a strict adherent to Con-
servative politics, put an end to his life last Tuesday in Culvet-
street, Colchester.—Essex Herald.
A FAMILY POISONED.—On Sunday last week,
several members of a family resident in the neighbourhood 9f
Truro, partook of a pudding which had been prepared for din-
ner. The bowl in which' the pudding was made had hem
taken from a cupboard in the dairy, a place much infested by
rats ; it contained some flour, which had no appearance
being mixed, although a quantity of arsenic had been previously
mixed with it. The person whose duty it. was to attend to
such matters, unconscious of this fact, added the necessary ad-
dition of flour, antfiliepuddiag was made, of which the family
partook. Soon after dinner they were taken ill—the cause
was soon discovered—and medical aid having been promptly
obtained, we are happy to say the means used proved effectual,
411 being in a fair way of recovery,—Pronpoit Independent.

The LORD CHANCELLOR ordered the deed to be re-
turned to the office of the Clerk in Court, and directed, at
the same time, that the plaintiff should not, in this instance,
pay the defendant's costs.

POOR.
The Somerrou-GENERAL moved the last day of sitting be-
fore the vacation, to dissolve an injunction restraining the
defendants from taking possession of some cottages and
land, as part of, or belonging to a poor-house, under the
last Poor-Law Act. _ _

His HoNoua to-day had read all the affidavits and
enactments he had been referred to, and it was his opinion
the injunction should be dissolved, and that the parties
should proceed to litigate the matters of fact, and the ques-
tions of law arising out of them before one of the Courts of
Common Law. Possession should not be taken by force,
or by means of a summary jurisdittion.
The SOUCITOR-GENERAL desired to communicate with
his clients before he should enter into any arrangement of
the kind.
