The objects of this Association are twofold—the Insurance of Ships
and the Advancing of Money by way of Loan, secured by mortgage
on shipping. Each branch affords its own share of individual profit ;
but the two operations, judiciously combined, will evidently be pro-
ductive of highly remunerative results to the proprietary.
The immense fortunes known to have been realised by individuals
who have advanced money upon the security of shipping, with an
assignment of the policy of assurance, afford the best guarantee of the
soundness of the principle upon which the Association is founded.
The almost incredible number of British shipping under mortgage,
shown by the books of the Registrar-General of Customs, exhibits a
wide fleld for the operations of the Association. The great bulk, if
not all of these loans, have been obtained upon exorbitant terms by
the small owner from his more wealthy neighbour, who may look
rather to the obtaining possession of the vessel by foreclosure than
to the eligibility of the security as an investment.
The Association will advance a sum of money, in no case exceed-
ing two-thirds of the vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors ;
which loan shall be secured by mortgage upon the whole skip and
earnings by freight, the policy of insurance effected with the Asso-
ciation remaining in its hands until the termination of the period
for which the loan has been granted.
Among the many advantages it holds out, the following are not
the leash

To the Shipowner, the-certainty of obtaining, at a modeiate rat.,
and without injury to his credit, pecuniary assistance when he meet
requires it.
The opportunity- of relieving himself from mortgages bearing an
exorbitant interest, and effecting them with the Association at an
equitable rate.

To the Shipbuilder, particularly when building for the market,
either at home or in our colonies, by placing him in a position less
dependent upon Immediate sale at an unfavourable season.

To both, a participation in the profits of the Association by be-
ming shareholders.
The Association embodies the following advantages for its Pro-
prietary :

- The immediate certainty of securing a Very large number of poli-
cies of insurance, since, although insurances will be taken witkont
loans, no loan will be graated unless the policy be effected with the
Association ; hence the double prollt which will arise frora these two
sources.

A total absence of risk to the shareholders.
It may be added that an extensive connexion has been already
formed in the leading outports, and insurance business to a large
amount secured for the Association.

The same machinery sufficing for the working of the double prin-
ciple here exhibited, the expenses of management will not exceed
those of any ordinary marine insurance-office.
The necessary Parliamentary notices for an Act of Incorporation
have been duly given in the Gazettes of November, 1845.
The whole sum required for the preliminary. expenses has been
advanced by the London members of the Committee of Management.
Applications for shares, in the usual form, may be made to the
Committee of Management, and addressed to any of the above-named
officers of the Association, to the solictors, or to any of the following
agents, from whom more detailed prospeetuses may be had:—Wm.

No man, it is conceived, can in reason be blamed fbr modify-

at sea about, and if the Premier finding certain favourable
results arise from his cautious advances towards a system of
which he was previously distrustful, is encouraged to proceed further
in the same direction, who can reasonably blame him ? A dissolu-

We regret to find that, besides one or two most respectable firms
having been placed in difficulties by the restriction of accemmoda

however, that the intention of Sir Robert Peel to propose an easier
Mode of paying the railway deposits, will afford some relief, and in-
cline the discount houses to be more liberal.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.)
RIGBY V. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
Pis Honour in this cause erailted an interim injunction in favour
of the plaintiffs. In May, last year, a bill was filed by the Messrs.
Rigby for this object; the defendants put in a demurrer, and the
Cause was argued before his Honour, whe over-ruled the demurrer,
and sent the case to be tried by two actions at law. In 1841 covenants
were entered into between the Messrs. Rigby and the Company about
the er: ction of refreshment rooms at the Swindon station; the
Messrs. Rigby taking a lease of the premises oh express terms for 99
years, and agreeing lo erect refreshment-rooms ; the Company, on
their part, expressly stipulating that all trains, up or down, except
goods trains and express trains for a special purpose, should stop for
refreshment at the Swindon station. Hut the Company, in May last,
advertised and began to run what they called "express trains" be-
tween London aid Exeter, without stopping at the Swindon station,
except for the exchange of passengers and taking in a supply of
water, which did not occupy more than from one to three minutes.
The plaintiffs estimated their loss arising out of this arrangement at
1,500/. a-year.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.)
HOLMES V. QROSBT.
Mr. HEATH appeared to show cause against a rule nisi Obtained
last term by Mr. Crompton to set aside the award made by an arbi-
trator in this case.
The original action was brought in consequence of Mr. Crosby
selling to the plaintiff as guano, a composition, not only useless but
injurious. The parties agreed to refer the matter to arbitration, and
Mr. Harwood Barrow an accountant was chosen. From his state-
ment it appeared that after a due and careful consideration of all the
facts of the case, and an examination of the witnesses, he had deter-
mined that Mr. Holmes should pay to Mr. Crosby the sum of
1671. Gs. 2d., and should also bear all the costs of the proceedings.
Mr. Crompton had obtained a rule nisi to set aside that award on the
ground that the action was not decided by it—that it was not
decided which .of the parties had been entitled to proceed in the
action, and which party was liable to pay the costs, and also that the
ground for the payment of the sum by Mr. Holmes was not specified,
and that it might have been awarded to Mr. Crosby on some matter
of difference between him and Mr. Holmes, independant of the
action which was then loft undecided.
Mr. HEATH argued that if there was any separate matter of dif-
ference between Mr. Crosby and Mr. Holmes, on which the award
could have been made, the onus lay on his Learned Friend to show
that such was the case, As a mere assumption of the fact was insuffi-
cient. He also cited a great number of cases in which the circum-
stances were similar to the present one and in which the award of
the arbitrator was considered to be final.
Mr. CROMPTON was heard at some length against the validity of the
award.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said that it did appear to him that some
part of the case placed under the consideration of the arbitrator had
not been decided, and, therefore, the rule nisi obtained by Mr.
Crompton must be made absolute.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAV.)

RAMETT V. •i'ioNt.

This was an action of trespass brought the plaintiff against the
defendant, to recover compensation in damages for the injury he had
received, by reason of the defendant having illegally thrown down
one of the enees on his property. The plaintiff was the occupier of
a close on the borders of Waltham Forest ; and the defendent, who
was a distinguished sportsman, threw down the fence which sur•
rounded it while he was engaged in one of his hunting exeursions.
The plaintiff feeling himself greatly injured and aggrieved by this
act, instituted the present action in the Court of Common Pleas, to
compel the defendant to make him some compensation in the shape
Of damages fbi• the committal of what he considered au illegal and
wrongful act ; but the defendant pleaded that he *as not liable at
' law to make the plaintiff any compensation for what he had done,
because a forest license to hunt, hawk, and fish in and about the
neighbourhood of Waltham Forest had been granted to him by the
Crown, aria by that license he was privileged to commit the act
which the plaintiff complained of.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now moved this Court for an order to
have the pler(dings which had been delivered in the case in the
Court of Conn:doh Pleas removed into this Court, on the ground that
the close was not the fee-simple of the plaintiff, but of the Crown,
which the plaintiff controverting the case involved a question affect-
ing the rights of the Crown, and no other Court but the Court of
Exchequer had jurisdiction over it.
Mr. WILLS, on the other side, admitted that the plaintiff claimed
the freehold of the close but denied that the case involved any ques-
tion affecting the rights of the Crown, because the plaintiff, while
he claimed the fee-simple of the land, did not deny the privilege of
the Crown to derive revenues from the close. Now, the right of the
Crown, therefore, to these revenues not being In the slightest degree
involved in the case, there was only one other ground which would
justify its removal into this Court, and that ground was this—Did
the defendant, in throwing down the fence, do that which was justi-
fied by the privilege which the Crown had granted to him. Now he
contended that he did not, for although the defendant had the pri-
vilege of hunting over the close, he had no right to injure the fences
attached to it. The case, then, did not in any way involve the pre-
rogative of the Crown, but simply a question of right between sub-
ject and subject, and as the case was ready for trial, the Learned
Counsel humbly submitted that it would be an act of great injustice
to the plaintiff if the Court delayed the trial by acceding to the pre-
sent motion. _

Mr. M. CHAMBERS, on the same side, alluded to a number of cases
on the subject, and particularly to " Cawthorne v. Campbell," tried
before Mr. Justice Eyre, in which the law on the matter was fully
entered into. By that case it was laid down that where the Crowd
cum interpose ita prerogative ht an action between subject and sub-
ject, it should be shown that the Crown was immediately concerned
or interested in the case. A remote interest would not authorise the
Court of Exchequer to remove a case out of another Court.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was about to reply, but he was stopped by
The Loan CHIEF BARON, who said it was quite clear that the
Crown was interested in the case, and of course, as the Court of
Exchequer was the only Court which had jurisdiction in it, the mo-
tion must be granted.
The other Judges concurring in this opinion, the order for the re-
moval of the case from the Court of Common Pleas into this Court
was granted accordingly.

SECONDARIES.7-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
NEELAND V. MAUD.

This was an action to recover the sum of 71. for a Quarter'. Tont.
ine 4:attendant said that he was net indebted.

Mr. Atkinson, the attorney for the plaintiff, said that, in his opi-
nion, the case was simple, although a Learned Counsel appeared to
support the defence. The fact was, the defendant had occupied a
house in Barclay-street, Somers-town ; and, in January, 1845, defen-
dant having refused to pay, a distress was put in for 71. for one quar-
ter's rent. The amount was paid ; and, therefore, there could be no
doubt as to the amount of the rent. It would be shown that the de-
fendant remained in the house after the quarter-day, and was, conse-
quently, liable for the rent for that quarter.
Mr. CHARNOCK, for the defendant, said that there might be many
grounds for leaving premises and absolving the tenant from liability.
This was one of the cases. He should prove that the house had been
let to a previous tenant, who had used it for improper purposes.
Defendant was not aware of it at the time, nor that the place was
out of repair. He, however, spoke to plaintiff as to the repairs, and
she promised to see to them, but on defendant taking posse.ssion, she
refused to perform her promise, but told defendant that she would
have her rent for that quarter, and he might then leave as soon as
he liked.
Witnesses were called to prove that statement, and the jury with-
out hesitation gave a verdict for defendant.
