BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(Before Mr. CommisQioner Holroyd.)
IN RE RYDER.

SOUTHWARK.

Mr. TAYLOE, the solicitor, said the resolution, by the
terms of the association's bye laws, must be passed or
rejected in its entirety.

A SHAREHOLDER—Cannot I substitute one name for
another on the committee 4

Mr. TAYLOE—No. You cannot vary the substance
of the resolution.

After some discussion on the proceedings,
Mr. BRLDSHANY, the chairman of the Nottingham
Local Board, said an impression from the first had pre-
vailed amongst the Nottingham Board that the expenses
of the association were too much, and condemned the
payment of 101. to the agents and managers of the asso-

ciation for the original disposal of the shares. The Not.
tingham people were also much displeased at so much
money being spent in bringing directors and shareholders

to Birmingham to lay the foundation stone of the society's
offices, and many of them left the association in conse-
quence. On the part of the Nottingham Board, he took

exception to the inadequate amount of business done is
London, in comparison with the central expenditure.
and generally as to the expenditure, and the want of
prompt and undivided attention of the management at
the central office so early as 1854 ; and he read resolu-
tions passed by the Nottingham Board in reference to
it, and referred to the correspondence that ensued in
consequence, and to an interview that took place be-
tween Dr. Lloyd and another director, a deputation to
the Nottingham Board, when the deputation pledged
themselves to use greater economy for the future.
(We shall give the conclusion in our last edition.)

obtained.

Mr. Linklater appeared for the official assignees, and

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—;Phis Day.

A JUVENILE SHOPLIFTER.—CaroIine Armstrong, a
little girl about twelve years of age, was brought before
Mr. Combe, charged with stealing some biscuits from
the shop of Mr. F. J. Dell, in the Arcade, in the incline
of the South-Eastern Railway, London-bridge.
Frederick Wyatt, an officer i❑ the employment of the
railway company, said that between 11 and 12 on the
previous day he saw the prisoners and another girl in
the Arcade. Having some suspicion as to their inter.

tions he watched them, and after a short time the other
girl entered Mr. Dell's shop and took some biscuits off
the counter, which she brJught out and handed to the
prisoner. The latter had a large pinafore on, under
which she put the biscuits, and as she was about to walk
away he seized hold of her and took her into custody.
The other female made her escape. On searching the
prisoner he found that she had under her pinafore a
large pocket which containei the biscuit, a quantity of
apples and cakes, all of which witness had no doubt she
hal stolen from shops in the neighbourhood. Although
so young:, be believed her to he a systematic thief.
Mr. Combe asked whether he knew anything about
her or her parents?

Wyatt replied that he had seen her with other girls
loitering about the Arcade, and frequent complaints had
latey been made of property being stolen from the shops.
That was the chief reason which induced him to watch
her, as he believed her to be one of the thieves. After
locking her up witneos went to look after her mother,
and he believed that she actually sent the child out to
thieve, and she received the stolen property.
Mr. Combo asked whether the mother was in
court I Wyatt replied that she was not. He told ber
to be in attendance that morning, but she bad purposely
kept out of the way. He had been to her house, but she
was nowhere to be found. Witness here e:hibited the
capacious pocket for his worship's inspection.
Mr. Combe asked the child what she had to say in
answer to the charge /
She replied, crying, that she did not steal the things;
another girl took them and gave them to her. Her
mother did not know of her having anything.
Mr. Combe said that although so young there could
be no doubt she was an expert thief, avid most likely
instructed by her mother, who lay in wait to receive
whatever she stole. Had the mother been pre4ent he
should have severely punished her, as a child so young
could not commit such robberies without her being cog-
nisant of it. Under all the circumstances, be should
sentence her to one month in Wandsworth House of
Correction.

UNITY FIRE INSURANCE ASSOCIA-

This afternoon an extraordinary general meeting of
' the proprietors of the Unity Fire Insurance Association
was held at the London Tavern, Bishopgate-street, by
adjournment from the offices in Cannon-street, for the
appointment of Mr. J. Bradshaw, of Nottingham, Mr.
Clitherow, of Horncastle, Mr. 11. Hanks, of Bir-
mingham, Rev. Edw. Johnstone, o:f Hampton, Mr. W.
Salmon, of Bury St. Edmunds, Mr. J. Smitherman, of
Bruges, Mr. T. Vaughan, of Stoke Newington, a com-
mittee for the purpose of calling in a professional an-
countant to enquire and examine into the past and pre.
sent expenditure and management of the association,
and other matters connected with it specifically set forth
in the notice, Dr. Lloyd in the chair.
The notice convening the meeting having been read,
The CHAIRMAN stated that the meeting was called in
consequence of a correspondence that had taken place
between Mr. Bradshaw, chairman of the Nottingham
local board, and the directors relative to the expenditure
and management of the association.
At the Chairman's request, a lengthened correspond.
once was read, the particulars of which will be found in
Mr. Bradshaw's address below. In the course of that
correspondence the directors concurred in the appoint-
ment of a committee, but differed from the mode of its
operation as suggested by Mr. Bradshaw. The di.
ectors, at a board meeting, hi. pmed a reso-
lution stating their willingness to resign unless they
possessed the confidence of the shareholders.
The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the meeting, said the
directors were desirous of having a close investigation
into the affairs of the association, because they declined
to act as such without possessing the fullest confidence
of the shareholders; and on receiving the recommenda-
tion from Mr. Bradshaw for a committee of investiga-
tion the directors sent down to him and asked him to
name such a committee, but he declined to do so, and
the directors had in consequence called this meeting,
because they courted the strictest investigation into the
affairs of the association. He (the chairman) declined
to take the responsibility of the legality or illegality
of the meeting, and threw it entirely on the company's
solicitor. He (the chairman) considered the association
was now on its trial before the bar of public opinion, but
he bad no misgivings as to the result of the proposed
inquiry, and be called on the shareholders to support the
chairman, and appoint the committee. He called on the
solicitor to state the object for which the meeting was
called, because Mr. Bradshaw's resolution evidently
was drawn up by a solicitor.
