TRAVENON. MINING ASSOCIA-
TION.

The Bev. Lionel Buller appeared at the Mansion-house on
Thursilay last before Al,lerman PlitlE and Sir PETER. LAU-
RIE, for the purpose of hay.ng the adjudication of those Ma-
g'stratcs in his case against Mrs. Gully, who, it. will be recol-
lected, c.nne up from Cornwall to establish a mining company,
and induced the Rev. Gentleman to give his noi'e for 501.,
upon the understanding that she should get it cashed and give
him a shr.re of the proceeds and a certain number of shares in
the scheme which she meant to bring to maturity in the Lon-
d.in share Market.
Mr. C. Phi ips, the Barrister, attended for Mrs. Gully,
acid Mr. Humphreys for the Rev. Gentleman, whose state-
ment of Thur,day week attracted a number of jobbers to
the Justice-room.
Mr. Humplireys submitted that the case was adjourned in
order that Airs, Gully might have sufficient time to produce
the deed of the Travenon mine, signed by the lord of the ma-
nor, and hearing other evidence of authenticity about it. He
had only to inquire on behalf of his client whether such deed
was in exi•tence.

3lrs. Gully said there was no actual deed, but there was an
agreement [or the mines.
Mr. C. Phillips--There is a memorandum. of an agree
ment.

Aleerma-a 'PIR lE—The ease was adjourned, Mrs. Gully
promising to Produce the deed.
Mrs. t3ully said that the 'whole ,correspondence with Mr.
Plomer, the'agent of the lord of the manor, would show that
she could oh ain the deed when she wished. She had written
to Cornwall upon the subject, but the lord of the manor was
ft am home, and nothing else caused the delay. There was no
d:=cd actually signed, but a deed could be obtained as soon as
a sufficient number of subscribers were obtained for the mines.
The Rev. Mr. Buller, in answer to Alderman Pirie, de •
Glared that he never had signed any deed.
Mr. Phillips—Mr. Buller, I ask you upon your oa:11, did
you nst give in trattions to Mr. Plomer to put your nttne to
the d. ed? Mr. Buller—l solemnly swear I did not.

Mr. Philips—Pray, Mr. Buller, have you not often, flee
von passed the bid to Airs. Gully, diced with that lady ?
Hal er—l admit. that I have, but I provided the eatahics.
Mr. Phillips—What (-lid you provide dpon any ceca•ion ?
Mr. Buller—Two capercailz.es, or black cocks of the woad.
Mrs. Golly—Did you provide the wine? Mr. Buller—No,
but I paid for it.
Mr. Phillips—Allow me to make one statement, Mrs.
Gully is convinced that her m:nes are a bona fide concern of
value, and if the Ile". Gentleman is discontented with his
bargain, she is willing to return him his money; and that she
has offered before.

Alderman Pi R lE—That may beg) ; but here is a letter from
the c'nrchwardon of Helston, in eJrnwall, stating that the
mine had been abrndoned two years ago, and that he was not
aware of any new Company being formed. *•
Mr. Phillipi—That to tenis no evidence.

Mrs, Gully—lt is not;trite,„quet beAk:A,l4ntlonedt but,
10,0001. bad he, l.ritl but noon ,1 ad a Yruite4umitiq: Of;,titt,'
bed been obtained. < „
Sir PETER, LA Utu fellow GI
4441t1
King's College, Cambridge, and no doubt hive obtained
high honours, but you are not by any means a match for Mrs.
Golly.
Mr. Buller—l admit that lam net.
Mr. Phillips—Mrs. Golly will glad to get rid of the Rev.
Gentleman altogether by laying him his 501.
Mrs Gully—Oh, certainly, most happy, upon getting back
my transfer of the shares. He shall have h s 501 in a week.

-Alderman Plain—Why not give him a draft on your banker
for the amount? If you are the owner o. mines it is but rea-
sonable to suppose that Sou keep a banking account.
Mr. Phillips—lt is not every lady that has 501. in her pocket,
and my client has no barker.
Mrs. Gully--I shall have to write to Cornwall for the money,
and he can have it certainly in a fortnight.
Alderman PIRIE—Are you content, Mr. Buller? I sup-
pose all you want is pour money. Mr. Buller—Quite ccntent.
She shall have three weeks to pay it.
Sir PETER LAURIE—Very wed. Now, Mr. Buller, I must
say that you are not a little implicated in getting up this minity,
Company. The fact of your eating capercailzies, or black
cocks of the wood, and drinking wine at this lady's house,
shows that you had tome hand in the business, Which is a
stt angs affair altogether. It is a singular illustration of the
system of establishing- joint-stock companies.
Mr. 8u11er...-1 had nothing whatever to do with forming
a company.
Sir PETER LA URIE —PrAy, are you a married man? Mr.
Buller (smiling)—No, I am nut married.
Sir PETER LAURIE—And did you never a,k this lady to give
you her picture? Mr. Buller—She has got her picture her-
self. I have not got it.
. _

Mr. Phillips—oh, her picture ! So her picture has some-
thing to do with the matter. I did not know that before. Let
us know something about the picture.
Mr. Buller—Oh, I admit that I did ask her for her picture.
--(Loud laughter.)
-Sir PETEtt, LA u rat —I think it is better for you to think of
taking care of Mrs. Gully herself than of her picture.
Mrs. Gully—Not at all. Sir. I do not require such a
guardian. lam perfectly able to take care of myself.
Sir. PETER, Lnuarn—l do, Madam, most sincerely believe
you.—( Laughter. )
Mr. Phillips—By the by, what you suggest, Sir Peter, would
be an odd way of settling this argum.nt.
Sir I'. LA IJ ran—l do positively suspect that the Rev. Gen-
tleman would greatly preter the 'original to the picture. lam
greatly mistaken if he is not at present under the influence of
the tender passion, and if such be the ease, I think he had much
better come to another sort of settlement; if there be no objec-
tion on the other side.—( Laughter. )
Mrs. Gully seemed to prefer the pecuniary settlement of the
dispute than tlra serious one hinted at by Sir Peter Laurie, and
said, with a grave countenance, that the money should be paid
within the Prescribed time.
Thus terminated the joint-stock affair of the• Travenon
Mining Association.
