FOREIGN COMPANIES.—An appeal has been, made t°
Lord Justice Giffard, from a decision of Vice-Chancellor
Malin, whereby he refused to grant an order for the
winding up of the General Credit Company, fot
t'ie promotion of Land Credit. The ground for the
Vice-Chancellor's decision was that although the
company had a registered office in London ; all ~.0
business was carried on in Belgium, and the Winding-nr
Act did not apply to foreign countries. The Lord Justice,
discharged the order of the Vice-Chancellor, and directed
that the company should be wound up. He could not see
why foreigners who signed the memorandum of associa-
tion of a company registered in this country should not be
held to have contemplated the liability of their company
being wound up under the Act. The company in question
had creditors for 21,000,000 in this country, and it was
but right that, as it was insolvent, it should be wound ull•
A MERCIFUL PROSECUTION.—At the Central Criminal
Court a person named Manks has been charged with pub-
lishing a libel on Messrs. Ovenden, perfumers. The ac-
cased was once in the employ of the prosecutors,
a-id was dismissed. He afterwards became editor
of a trade magazine, called the Hairdresser's, Perfumer's;
?cad Fancy Trades Journal. In this journal be publishee -
a libel on his late employers. The prisoner pleaded guilty
and his counsel urged that he did not know he was doinri
wrong. Messrs. Ovenden now said they only wished
the prisoner to be convinced of his error, and to
b.: bound over to come up for judgment when
called upon. The Recorder, although he regarded such
a settlement of the question as a very lenient one, accede
to the wishes of the prosecutors. On the prisoner enter
ing into his recognisances, the Recorder gave him a piece
of advice that excited much laughter. He told him he
had better now go back to his place, and stick to hair"
dressing.

SELLING INDECENT SONGB.—A man, named Charlee
Taylor, has been charged at the Guildhall, with singing
and selling indecent songs, about the Mordaunt Divorce
Case. The prisoner said he saw others selling those songs.
and he thought he might as well earn a little in the same,
way. The songs were handed to the magistrate, who asked
the prisoner where he got them. He replied from Disley'ef
in a street in the Seven Dials. Alderman Lusk said the
prisoner had not been there before, therefore he would die'
charge him, but he must give up all his dirty papers.
