Their Lordships gave judgment in this case, of which the
particulars have already appeared in The Sun. The action
was brought fur calls amounting to 74.901, upon forty-five
shares, and the defence was principally the non-dompliance of
the plaintiffs with the provisions of their Act of Incorpora-
tion, in respect to the registry of shares and the memorial of
transfept. The Court ruled that a verdict be entered for the
plaintiffs for he calls upon fifteen shares, the defendant's lia-
bility for which had beill prorptl ; a nopsuit to be entered for
thirty shares, the transfer of vaich had not been proved.
In respect to the appication male on Sturdy by Mr.
Kelly, on the subject of an alleged error in the short-
hand writers' totes of the trial, their Lordships were of opinion
t'lnt.i.lp short-hand writer had sworn correctly in the affidavit
mittin 0 the ptFit: of the defendant, and that the memorial of
tatofer 4,1,4 to he produced.

EXECUTION.---dhe last seotpfloo of the las was
carried into effrct upon Bartholomew Murray, for the murders
at Over-Peover this morning (Saturday). He appeared quite
r: signed to his fate. On Friday afternoon he expressed a wish
to sea the prisoners who (up to the day of his condemnation)
had been pongtned in the same yard with him. He bade all an
affectionate and affeoting arbor}, atl,4 on shaking hands with
the man in confinement on suspicion of ahortting a gamekeeper
at Huxley, near Tarporley, he said hp hoped he would avoid
that fate which so soon awaited him, Iletween eight and
nine o'clock in the evening he was re-visited by the Roman
Catholic clergyman. He then went to bed, and, taking his
Prayer Wmk in his hand, with the exception of some short in-
t.-rvals, read the, contents with marked dtvotion throughout the
night. He dressed about four o'plockt and partook of a hearty
breakfast. The county authorities 11W conducted Murray
to the lobby adjoining the outer gate of the Castle. He was
there handcuffed, and the City ghariff and his officers being an-
nounced as waiting for the culprit at Glover's Stone (the city
boundary mark), Mr. Dunstan conducted his prisoner on foot
in that d!rention. A strong body of the city police, armed with
cutlasses, atWvtpd to keep back the crowd. On the arrival of
the comity proce-sion at the honindary, a black-railed cart with-
out springs was in readiness to convey thp culprit to the cit v
gaol. He was lifted into it, and manael s having been fixed
to his legs, the Rev. J. Carberry took a seat in the part by the
side of the culprit, both riding with their backs to the horse,
which, after the true Tyburn style was led by the hangman, a
practitioner from Staffordshire. The crowd was exceedingly
dense. The nuffibPc of femitles (many of them well dressed
present was in a majority of :ttioa..it two to one of the male sex.
!ley all appeared to view the melanphOy protesaion in the
light of a sight of but rare occurrence, and in no way to re-
flect noon the serious nature of the offence that had brought.
the unttapie culprit to such an ignominious end. The iso-
ce.si_n reached hie giwj as the clock struck five. The cart
was taken to the back doti of the prison, and Murray's ma-
nacles haring been removed,' he ti ao Milcipttrfi through the
chapel, in which his coffin was lying, to the cell at the foot of'
the fatal platform. The Litany was then repeated, and the
eulpi it remained unmoved during the time the fetters were
xijusteai ty his legs, and his arms pinioned, no visible change
was perceptiW‘in iR ii countenance, and he continued fervent),
engaged in prayer durinio' ceremony. In answer
to a question from Mr. Eaton, Itufray replied, " I
have no declaration to make." He was then coridifeted to the
dop, and having ascended the scaffold with a firm step, he
knelt with Mr, Carberry on the drop. In an instant the drop
fell, and he died with scg,rftely a perceptible struggle. He was
in the 19th year of his age,—Chester Papr.
The Glasgow Herald quotes froth the Edinburgh
Post a report of the disappearance of a government official, a
defaulter to the amount of 10,0001. His income was 1,0004 a
year. •
