DROWSED IN A FEIGHT.—Late on Monday evening a
man named Wm. Birchall and his wile were returning
to Royland from Rotherham " statut.s." and had reached
a part of the road near the tillage of Elseca" where there
is a reservoir on each side of the path, when they were
alarmed by some missiles bein thrown at them. The
night was very dark, and the woman screamed cut
" Murder," while her spouse made a precipitate flight,
leaving his wife to take care of herself. He dashed
through a hedge and fell into one of the reservoirs,
where his body was Lund on the following morning.

THE TENANT LEAGUE.. -11 .a S
Mr. M'Envoy, M.P. presided at the council of
the Tenant League, held yesterday, when some
matters connected with the "great" meeting to be
held on Tuesday next were discussed. On the
motion of Mr. Kennedy, M.P., a resolution, was
passed that a circular should be issued to the friends
of the Tenant League calling on theni to attend the
proposed meeting in Dublin on the 11th inst. It is
stated by those in the secret that the meeting will
be more remarkable for the 'number and position
of those who will not be there, than for those who
will. The apologies already are numerous, and, as
the reporters say, very influential.
REPRESENTATION OF ATHLONE.
There is an authorised contradiction in the Free-
man's Journal that the Hon. Mr. Handcock means
to vacate his seat for Athlone.
THE TIPPERARY BANK.
The loungers about the law courts, who have the
reputation of knowing more than ordinary people,
say the expected compromise in favour of the con-
tributories to the Tipperary Bank will nob be car-
ried out. They know certain depositors who will
not abate one jot of their demands. Meanwhile the
litigation proceeds in the several law courts, to the
great profit of the bar and the solicitors, and the
edification of au impartial and unaffected people.
In the Common Pleas yesterday the affairs of , the
concern were again under consideration, in the cases
of "Ryan v. M`Dowell," and two or three others
against the same personage.
Mr. Bland, Q.C., moved on the part of the plaintiff
(Slr. Ryan) to make absolute a conditional order grand.
last June to issues a scit e facies, upon the usual affida-
vit. There was no opposition to the motion) and
The court granted it with costs.
Mr. Heron made similar applications in two other un-
opposed cases, which were granted.
The Chief Justice then inquired of Counsel what
order the Court of Exchequer made in like applications
as to costs ? •
Mr. Heron—The order was
_that the shareholder
should bear the costs of making the conditional order
absolute.

The Chief Justice—Did this make the costs cf the
conditional order costs in the cause, or did they say
nothing about them ?

Mr. Heron—They did not say anything about them,
and then, as a matter of course, they are costs in the
cause.

The Chief Justice.—And we make the same order in
those cases. We say nothing of the costs of the condi-
tional orders, and give the costs of the motion.
D. Bergin v. M`Dowell.—J. Bergin v. Same.—Tooker

v. Same. -
Mr. Heron moved in all these cases for orders to make
absolute conditional orders of the 27th of June last, for
liberty to issue writs of scire facias against Mr. Vincent
Scully, M.P , notwithstanding the cause shown, and for
the costs of the motion. The applications were grounded
on the affidavits of the plaintilD, which stated thv. facts
of the failure of the bank, ete. ; the particular case
against Mr. Scully being that his name appeared on the
last Stamp-office return as a shard., dn., which was MR-
cient, he (Mr. Heron) contended, to sustain the motions.
The affidavits filed as cause stated that Mr. Scully ceased
to be a shareholder in March, 1855 ; that he knew no-
thing of the bank report of Feb., 1856, or that Mr. John
Sadleir was allowed to overdraw his account.

The Chief Justice—The defence is, in fact, that Mr.
Scully is nut a shareholder, although his name appears
in the Stamp.office return.
Mr. Heron replied in the affirmative, and cited the
case of Carroll v. Kennedy, 7th Irish Jurist, as an autho-
rity in support of his motion.
Mr. Sullivan opposed the motion. The question was
whether Mr. Scully was a shareholder within the mean-
,
ing of the 6 Geo. IV., against whom a scire facias could
go ?He had assigned his shares in March, 1855, and
swore he knew nothing of the fraudulent report, or of
the advances of Mr. John Sadleir. The Master of the
Rolls had acquitted his (Mr. Sullivan's) client of all fraud
in the matter, although he held him liable ; yet all the
imputations of fraud were repeated in the present appli-
cation. He (sfr. Sullivan contended that, before scire
facias could issue against Mr. Scully, it should be first
issued against all the existing shareholders.
The Court were of opinion that the conditional orders
should be made absolute in all cases in this court, with
costs, to a certain extent, subject to taxation.

THE MODEL CORPORATION OF DROGHEDA.
The corporation of Drogheda is a liberal—very
liberal body. It has shown this by its hostility to
ministers' money and its present ruffi— ; but it
would not be deemed good taste to finish the word;
let us therefore glance at a picture of this assembly
of local legislators, as sketched by several gentle-
men who have just resigned in disgust. Thomas
Hammond, Esq., who was mayor last year, says :
" My election to the office of chief magistrate of your
town—an honour which it is well known I neither soli-
cited nor wished—immediately upon my becoming a
member of the council, unhappily led to some bitter-
ness of feeling on the part of certain members of that
body, which I am pained to say displayed itself in petty
"anioyances on several occasions daring-toy yoarotlrdisoo.
More recently this wretched feeling has asstinsed such
character that-the public business is neglected or .over-
looked, private feelings and miserable personalities in-
dulged in, and the council (instead of being engaged in
consultation for thegood of the municipality) has become
an arena for the display of sectional and party differences
and uncharitable invective. Those of the council who
preserve their consistency and endeavour to do their
duty are branded as being influenced by vindictive mo-
tives or individual hostility—calm deliberation on cer-
tain subjects lately brought before the council being
totally out of the question. None will be heard
bat those who speek for the chair or with the chair
—the clamour of a few stifling all legitimate discussion.
On slate occasion, in my endeavour to discharge my duty
to rec ,ver property long withheld from the public I stu-
diously avoided using strong or offensive language ; yet
I was assailed in the most u,gentletnanly winner from the
chair, aud the coarsest and most insulting personalities
used towards me. . . . I can therefore hale no wish
to remain a member of a body where the pubic good is
made subservient to the triumph of a party, and I now
most respectfully beg leave to resign the trust reposed in
me into the bands of those who gave it."
Dr. Atkinson has also published an address of
resignation, in which he says—
" The corporation has ceased to be a deliberative as-
sembly, and clamorous and personal invective, un-
checked by the chairman, has usurped the place of calm!
discussion and attention to the business of the
Three other memli-irs of the body are, it is said,
likewise about to retire.

Ta the ELECTORS of the BOROUGH of KINGSTON-
UPON-HULL,

ENTLEMEN,—
TEL.E well-merited elevation of Mr. Watson to
the Bench having created a vacancy in the represen-
tation of your Borough in the Commons House of Parliament,
I aspire to the honour of succeeding him.
My opinions are essentially Liberal ; I have always enter-
tained and advocated those principles by which the civil and
religions liberties of the people have been established, their
happiness insured, and their social and intellectual condition
mproved.
The wealth and prosperity of your great town, depending,
Rs they do, upon unrestricted commerce, must have led you
to appreciate and value the benefits of the important princi-
phrof Free Trade, and to desire to see that principle carried
to it, fullest extent. There are many measures essential to
that 6+:icot, all of which, with a due regard to legally vested
interests'. I should cordially support.
I shoul.i advocate a considerable extension of the Parlia-
mentary ik-anchise, believing that the increasing intelligence
of the muse., entitles them to be trusted with the selection of
those who are to represent them in the Legislature ; and in
order that the voter should have the free and unfettered exer-
cise of such priv.,lege, it is essential, I think, to give him the
protection and security of the Ballot.
Civil and religions liberty requires yet to be fully vindi-
cated by the admission of the Jew to Parliameit.
Had I been in Parliament I should have voted for the Bill
introduced by Sir William Clay for the abolition of Church
Bates, and I hope to see some such measure speedily adopted.
I have seen with pleasire the adoption of measures remov-
ing abuses in our Criminal and Civil Judicature. Many im-
provements are yet required, and my humble efforts should
be at the command of those able lawyers now engaged in the
laudable object of reforming the administration of the law.
I should support the Government of which Lord Pal-
merston is the head. We are indebted to him for bring-
ing about a Peace, which, though somewhat hastily con-
cluded, will, I trust, be permanent and secure. Clouds
still darken the horizon, and no man can predicate from what
quarter or how soon a storm may come. Should
danger arise, the country will, I believe, have more confi-
dence in the safety of the vessel of the State while his ex-
perienced. hand Is on the helm.—l have the honour to be,
Gentlemen, your obedient and faithful servant,
EDWIN JAMES.
